Storm Boy
|
Boom colt whose unbeaten run of four wins ended with a third, beaten 1.51L, in the Golden Slipper (1200m) when he was slow away and then had to shift to the inside. Rise to 1400m suits and the one to beat.

Coleman
|
Huge run in Golden Slipper (1200m) when loomed up as the winner but finished second, beaten 0.14L. Will also appreciate the rise in distance and will have admirers.

Traffic Warden
|
Finished 1.98L fourth in the Golden Slipper (1200m) at big odds when slow to begin and held up for a run at the 400m mark. Is already a G2 1400m winner at Flemington in March. Big danger.

Prost
|
Made late ground in the last 200m of the Golden Slipper (1200m). Finished 13th, beaten 5.09L. Needs improvement to match these but good at his best.

Anode
|
Front runner who already proven at 1400m after finishing 0.07L second in the G3 Baillieu Handicap at Rosehill on March 30. Might lack the polish of stablemates Storm Boy and Lady of Camelot.

Fearless
|
Easy 1.14L length winner at short odds over 1200m at Newcastle on March 21. Has shown plenty of ability in his four runs. This is difficult but he is on the up.

Vianarra
|
Is yet to give any indication he is up to this quality of race. Is still a maiden after six attempts. Finished sixth, beaten 5.3L, at last start in 1400m G2 VRC Sires’ Produce Stakes.

Duvana
|
Has been placed once in his three starts, finishing 2.61L third in G2 Skyline Stakes (1200m). Was 7.46L seventh at last start in G3 Pago Pago Stakes (1200m). Requires big lift.

Lady Of Camelot
|
Held up for running early in the straight in the Golden Slipper (1200m) but finished strongly to win by 0.14L. Distance not a problem and again hard to be beat while assuming a handy position.

Manaal
|
Was shifted between runners from his wide barrier in the Golden Slipper (1200m) when came from well back to finish fifth, beaten 2.33L. Only needs luck to figure in this.
