Libertad

G2 winner over this distance at Eagle Farm and flew home last start when 4th of 16 over G3 1200m at Randwick on 18 October.

2

Bosustow

G3 winner over 1200m but tends to mix form. Drops in distance here and capable of threatening.

3

Buenos Noches

Placed 3 times from 7 starts over this course and distance, including at G1 level. Hard to beat at his best, but has struggled lately.

4

Star Patrol

Suited by this course and distance with 3 wins and 3 placings from 9 starts. Has plenty of ability and rarely far away.

5

Caballus

Best form is on soft tracks and finished powerfully when 5th over 1200m at Randwick on 18 October. Hard to beat.

6

Ameena

G1-placed over 1200m and ran well at only start over this course and distance. Needs to improve here.

7

Nicolini Vito

Veteran galloper who races well first-up and has won over this course and distance. Shaping well after 2 Flemington 800m jumpouts.

8

Watchme Win

Can improve on last start 9th of 15 over this course and distance on 4 October. Would not rule out here.

9

Geegees Mistruth

Fought strongly when 2nd last start in G2 over 1000m at Caulfield. A repeat of that effort would see her go.

10

Hedged

Hasn’t won in 7 starts since last win in June 2024. Talented but needs to improve significantly here. Best suited on rain-affected tracks.

11

Disneck

1200m specialist with 5 wins from 16 starts and ran well when 9th of 16 over 1200m at Randwick on 18 October. Place.

12

Suparazi

Needs to improve on last start 12th of 15 over this course and distance on 4 October. One of the outsiders.

13

Royal Insignia

Won over 1200m at G3 level at Sandown in January. Has mixed form since but hopes would be enhanced by rain.
