1

Graviton

Remains unplaced from four Singapore starts and would need a big improvement to feature here.

2

War Commander

Acquitting himself well in Singapore, with one win and a second place from four starts, and was only narrowly beaten by a smart one last start. He has to remain a chance on that run.

3

Golden Monkey

Promising three-year-old who scored a big win last start, making all by 3.25 lengths, and he looks to have a bright future ahead. Holds form with a nice trial win and looks the one to beat.

4

Silent Is Gold

Led all the way to win a Class 4 1200m Handicap last start, which is good form for a race like this, and there should still be upside to come from this three-year-old.

5

Bingo Master

Consistent three-year-old who won easily over 1400m last start. The drop back in trip looks the query and place chances seem best.

6

Surrey Hills

Ultra-impressive debut winner over 1100m on the Polytrack and has since turned in a good trial win. He looks to have plenty of more wins in store and can prove a big winning chance here.

7

Just Because

First-up off a 163-day break and the recent trial was okay. He may need run, but a spot in the placings wouldn’t surprise.

8

Red Dragon

Has shown good ability in nine starts to date, with one win and three placings, but 1200m seems too short this week.

9

Istataba

Promising filly who will be suited by the step back to 1200m after a fading eighth over 1400m last start as the race favourite.

10

Shanghai Star

First-up off a 322-day break, during which he changed stables. He trialled well in blinkers recently but the long layoff is the query.

11

Golden Way

First-up off a 357-day break and is winless from four starts so far. He won a recent trial well enough but the betting market could be telling.

12

Chosen One

Well-beaten in two starts to date and hard to recommend.

Reserves

13

Rahotu

Races on the seven-day back up but he is erratic and his poor racing manners seem to get the better of him.

14

Captain Legacy

Has not shown enough in two starts so far and improvement is needed.

15

Outfit

Returns to the races on the seven-day back up but has not impressed in two runs so far and others are preferred.
