1

Tagabawa

Big rise in handicap mark after won a four-runner race in April. Not disgraced since but needs to improve.

2

Struth

A capable performer on range of going. Current handicap mark is proving challenging.

3

Westerton

Improving. Good performances over 2000m on soft and fast ground. Live contender if stays further.

4

Tony Montana

Well beaten in a G3 before comfortable winner of a novice over 2000m. Likely to stay further. In the mix.

5

Fox Journey

Progressed to win a Class 4 Handicap over 2400m last month. Likely to improve. Not certain to appreciate soft ground.

6

Amleto

Not run since won a maiden easily over 2064m on soft ground in May. Bred to stay further. Live contender.

7

Inquiring Minds

Mainly disappointing since winning a maiden in good style in May. Needs to improve.

8

Clan Chieftain

Won a maiden over 2000m then well beaten when favourite for a novice. Needs to do better.

9

French Invasion

Won two novices over 2400m before well beaten in a handicap in February. All three runs on all-weather. Difficult to assess.

10

The Goat

Maiden. Shown decent ability against useful rivals. Not ruled out.

11

Alumnus

Improved to win a fair handicap over 2489m on all-weather track in June, then finished a close third on the same surface just on 29 July. Tough task.

12

Cool Party

Promising last year but well beaten all four outings this year, latest on 27 July. Unlikely winner.
