Listed – 1000m – Polytrack
| 1 | Pray For Rain | Twice runner-up and once third in Graded races before a virus halted his career temporarily. Trainer says he’s positive the gelding can pick up where he left off. |
| 2 | Good Rhythm | Ultra-consistent, he performed true to his merit rating for 18 consecutive runs, never beaten more than 4 lengths. |
| 3 | Traces | Impeccable record over this course and distance. Recent poor runs were at Scottsville, a track he doesn’t enjoy. There is a question mark regarding fitness and headgear. |
| 4 | Love Bomb | Very inconsistent and currently looks out of sorts with no indication she’s about to jump back to best form. The only positive is that she performs better on the Poly than the Turf. |
| 5 | Spydas Corner | In form, loves the surface and the distance. Drawn well and runs well for the jockey. Ticks all the boxes. |
| 6 | Filippo | The ‘old man’ in the field seems to be running out of steam. Don’t hold your breath for one last hurrah, but also be sure he won’t go out with a whimper. |
| 7 | True Charm | For the first time in her career, this Captain Al filly has recorded three consecutive top-three finishes. In the form of her life, she could run into the money. |
| 8 | Keep The Lights On | She’s fast and she impressed on her solitary run on this surface. Made her debut over this distance and can spring a surprise despite looking slightly out of her depth. |
| 9 | Captain Oupie | Does not seem to be the same horse since being gelded. Cannot be considered on current form. |
| 10 | Big Bay | Lots to like about this colt. If replicates Fairview Poly form, he will be contesting the finish. Pillar to post candidate. |
| 11 | No Laying Up | Top rated, top weighted. The trainer is confident he will be competitive despite carrying 132lb. Earned a 3-figure merit rating after just two runs as a juvenile. Great expectations. Draw a worry. |
| 12 | Valyrian King | Many barriers to overcome. Only knows how to race from the front but will have to fly to get there from gate 12. Not familiar with a right-hand-turn track and makes Poly debut. |
