1

Cloudland

Has had two trials since last racing over 1400m during Melbourne Cup Carnival in November when 1.72L fifth. Has an excellent first-up record.

2

Bandi’s Boy

Has been big odds at past couple, including latest when 6.18L ninth of 11 over 1100m on 21 February. Hasn’t won for nearly two years.

3

Well Timed

Honest type who has an excellent first-up record with two wins and three seconds from six attempts. Is also good at the track. Big show after last racing on 22 November.

4

Lilac

Better suited in this class of race after being a bit plain first-up with 3.68L ninth of 10 in G3 Triscay Stakes (1200m) on 14 February. Can bounce back.

5

Charcoals

Won three in a row in Victoria before finishing last campaign with 3.56L fourth at Cranbourne in October when had veterinary issues. Has trialled okay. Respect.

6

Roselyn’s Star

Lightly-raced gelding who has two wins and five seconds from his nine starts. Has finished second at past two starts, including 1.68L over 1200m at Rosehill on 31 January. Ready to win.

7

Eye Of The Fire

Has been placed once at the track and distance from two attempts. Well beaten last start when 5.16L fourth of nine over 1200m on 31 January. Remains in the mix.

8

Gatsby’s

Settled on the pace last start and then led before being overhauled late to finish 0.17L second over 1300m on 14 February. Won the start before and is a major player again.

9

Mogo Magic

Has given a big sight at his past two runs when he has led but has been rundown both times to finish third, including last start when he failed by 1.84L over 1200m. Will give a good sight again.

10

Monte Kate

Stalked the leader at her last two runs, including over 1250m on 13 February, to win both times. This race is a bit tougher but she is racing well enough to make her presence felt.

11

Bev’s Nine

Sprinting specialist who is unbeaten in his four runs, including when he sat on the pace in his 1.42L 1100m win on 17 January. Has since finished third in a trial. Goes out to 1200m for first time.

12

Mal Coupe

A winner of his past four, including first-up when he scored by 1.39L over 1000m here on 14 February. Will again race on the speed and can add to his five wins from 11 starts.

13

Hanau

Yet to win for his new trainer but hasn’t been far away at past two when finished fourth both times. Will need to improve on last start 2.11L in lower grade 1350m to figure here.

14

Miss Jennifer

Was huge odds when 3.18L seventh of 10 over 1000m at Randwick on 7 February. Hasn’t won since August 2024. This is no easier.
