Listed – 1400m – Turf
| 1 | Hidden Achievement | Won a 1050m trial on 20 October after finishing last in G2 1200m. Form before that was good, including G1 1600m 2nd. Can figure. |
| 2 | Navy Pilot | Drops back to 1400m after 3.61L 6 of 15 in G1 1600m on 11 October. Won previous Sandown 1400m by 0.06L. Suited here. |
| 3 | Grand Prairie | G3 1300m winner at Rosehill in August. Hasn’t raced since G3 1400m in September when got too far back but worked home strongly for 5.25L 5th. Contender. |
| 4 | Bacash | Consistent colt who has 3 wins, 3 seconds and 2 thirds from 10 starts. Led and then took a sit to win Caulfield 1400m on 18 October. Top show. |
| 5 | Vega For Luck | Consider on last performance when he led and was overhauled late to lose by 0.06L in G3 1400m on 20 September. Freshened for this. |
| 6 | Miss Celine | Struggling to produce the form that made her a leading two-year-old. Capable of improving on last start 9th at Sandown over 1400m. |
| 7 | Ripley | Took a sit behind the leaders and held ground to finish 2.42L 4 of 7 in Listed 1200m at Caulfield on 18 October. Up in trip likely to assist. |
| 8 | Burma Star | Steps up to 1400m for the first time after a 0.49L second when worked home strongly over 1200m at Rosehill. The 1400m suits. |
| 9 | Kaleo | Won over 1400m at Caulfield as a 2yo, but was plain first-up over 1400m on 18 October when 6.91L 8 of 9 when failed to run on. |
| 10 | Sulek | Has raced 3 times for a win and 2 thirds. Was sound at his last run over 1400m when straightened up 4 wide and worked hard to finish 2.75L 3rd to Bacash. |
| 11 | Katsumi Orochi | Scored impressively coming from mid-field to win Pakenham 1200m maiden on 17 October at short odds. Has ability but this is a big step-up. |
| 12 | Tagline | Came from last over 1600m at Caulfield to finished 7.56L 3rd on 15 October. Had 2 wins and a 2nd before that. Can improve back to 1400m. |
| 13 | Pictor | Got back to last in small field over 1400m at Warwick Farm on 22 October. Worked home okay but run peaked at 200m mark to finish 2.95L 3 of 4. Tested. |
| 14 | Sir Myka | Dominant win when powered away with plenty in hand to win by 1.78L over 1400m in South Australia on 10 October. Contender. |
| 15 | Ludlum | Raced twice for a 2nd and last start win when handy and took the lead at 100m mark to score by 1.75L over 1200m at Seymour. Must follow. |
| 16 | Triple Malt | Racing well at a lot lower level, including second in restricted 1300m at Bendigo but was outclassed on Derby Day in G3 1600m with 8.65L 6th. This looks way too tough. |
| Reserve | ||
| 17 | Common Interest | Has a win and a second in South Australia at 1050m and 1100m. Raced handy last start for 0.78L second. This is a big jump in class. |
