1

Tavi Time

Only unplaced twice in his 10 races. Has won twice and been placed once at the distance from four attempts. Second at last start over 1400m. Hard to be ruled out.

2

Strait Acer

Second behind Ausbred Flirt, beaten 1.41L, in a Class 5 Set Weights (1350m). Is G1 placed in Rupert Clarke Stakes (1400m). Is one of the chances.

3

Ruby Flyer

Has raced twice over 1400m for two wins. Is a last start winner over the trip when came from well back for new trainer at Kembla Grange. Worth consideration at odds.

4

Ausbred Flirt

Did as expected with a 1.41L win in a Class 5 Set Weights (1350m) at Wyong. Is G3 placed and 1400m suits. Is an honest type worth following.

5

Shadows Of Love

On pacer who has won four of past five, including 0.97L victory in a Class 5 Set Weights (1200m).  No reason why can’t win again at this level.

6

Terra Mater

Has only missed a place once in 13 race starts. Last start winner of a Class 5 Set Weights at Newcastle, scoring at 1400m by 0.22L. Rates highly.

7

Short Shorts

Competitive at big odds when sixth, beaten 3.57L, in G3 Birthday Card Stakes (1200m) at Rosehill. Only needs a repeat of that to be again competitive.

8

Territory Express

Comes into this on the back of a 0.02L second in the G2 Ajax Stakes (1500m) at Rosehill. Came from well back and didn’t have luck. Will have plenty of support.

9

Victory Lane

Great form on heavy tracks.  A narrow second over 1400m at Kembla Grange at last start on a heavy track. Not hopeless at this level.

10

Willaidow

Won four in a row before a narrow second at Kembla Grange over 1400m. Was six of 13 at most recent at Rosehill, beaten 2.56L, over 1400m when raced keenly. Needs to maintain form.

11

Baltic Coast

Handles all types of conditions. Finished third in a Class 5 Set Weights (1400m), beaten 1.23L, at Newcastle. Needs improvement to challenge.

12

Convincebility

Finished second in a Class 5 Set Weights, beaten 1.21L at Hawkesbury over 1400m. Has since had a winning 1000m trial.

13

Nosey Parker

Form is reasonable in lower class races. Finished second beaten 4L at latest over 1400m. Had a 1200m trial for this. A hard task here.

14

Willinga Freefall

Has a good strike rate and finished not far away in recent runs. A narrow second at last start over 1400m at Newcastle.  Is worth following at odds.

15

Willinga Beast

Was 2.55L tenth in last week’s G1 TJ Smith Stakes (1200m) when starting at $201. This is miles easier and creates interest after working home strongly.

Reserves

16

Little Beginnings

Not far off the winner when 1.32L fourth at last start at Newcastle. Form isn’t good enough overall for this.

17

Well Timed

Likes to race on the pace. Won two in a row before last start third, beaten 1.8L, at Kembla Grange over 1400m. Might struggle to match it with top couple. 

18

Vain Invader

Has been around the placings in recent runs. Latest was seventh, beaten 4.1L, in restricted Kembla Grange 1600m. Others better.
