G1 – 1200m – Turf
| 1 | Overpass | Led and ran second in this race in 2023. Has won 8 of 19 starts over 1200m and racing in great form. Hard to beat. |
| 2 | Schwarz | Racing in career-peak form with G1 William Reid Stakes (1200m) victory in March. Has since won 2 trials and is again one of the main chances. |
| 3 | Mazu | Won this race in 2022 on heavy ground and won a G3 over 1200m last start at Randwick. Cannot be ruled out if the track is rain-affected. |
| 4 | Veight | Has an excellent first-up record with 3 wins from 4 starts and resumes here. Enjoyed a brilliant preparation last campaign with G1 victory in George Ryder Stakes (1500m) at Rosehill. One of the main hopes. |
| 5 | Desert Lightning | Talented sprinter with 6 wins and 7 minor placings from 22 starts. Expect improvement on fading 8th in G1 All Aged Stakes over 1400m at Randwick on 19 April. |
| 6 | Rothfire | Multiple G2 winner who is steadily regaining form after lengthy break from racing. Finished 4th when attempting to lead throughout in G2 Victory Stakes (1200m) at Eagle Farm on 3 May. Fitter now. |
| 7 | Golden Mile | Scratched |
| 8 | Zarastro | Has 9 wins and 5 minor placings from 27 starts with 6 of those wins coming at 1200m. Impressive trial winner over 1000m at Doomben on 8 May. |
| 9 | Libertad | Explosive sprinter who resumed with average form this campaign before posting upset win in G2 Victory Stakes over 1200m at Eagle Farm on 3 May. Hard to hold out when ridden patiently. |
| 10 | Jedibeel | Highly consistent sprinter with 8 wins and 8 minor placings from 21 starts. Can handle all types of ground. |
| 11 | Hidden Wealth | Unbeaten at this track and distance and loves rain-affected ground. Great winning strike rate with 9 wins from 18 starts. Has to be considered. |
| 12 | Sunshine In Paris | Has won 5 of 10 starts over 1200m and has returned in top form with charging last-start 3rd in G1 All Aged Stakes over 1400m on 19 April. One of the leading chances. |

| 14 | Benedetta | Top-class mare who has raced consistently at Group 1 level over the past two seasons. Shaping nicely after last-start 5th in G1 All Aged Stakes over 1400m on 19 April. Excels at 1200m. |
| 15 | Lady Laguna | Consistent mare who is rarely far away. Finished 3rd at her past 2 starts, latest behind City Of Lights on heavy ground on 3 May. One of the chances. |
| 16 | Estriella | Scratched |
