1

Matias

Was a solid winner three starts back, winning G3 1800m by 1.29L. Finished close third in G3 1600m at last start when not much luck. Distance is ideal and the one to beat.

2

Providence

Weakened badly over the final 100m in G3 1600m when running second to finish 2.56L 7th at short odds on 4 April. Rise to 2000m suits and he’ll have plenty of support to bounce back.

3

Eureka Rebel

Consistent galloper who was huge odds at last start when held up in the straight but finished 1.81L second in G2 2000m. Worth following.

4

Olympian

Has two wins and a second from his four races. Handled the steep class rise to finish 0.7L 4th in G3 1600m on 4 April when held up for a run. Hard to beat.

5

Decalogue

Still a maiden after six starts but has three seconds. Finished 3.73L 4th in G2 2000m on 28 March at big odds. This is easier and can improve again.

6

O’Sheamus

Faded badly after racing near the lead to finish 11.39L 8th in G2 2000m on 28 March. Is G2 placed at 2040m. Could challenge for a place at odds with a more conservative run.

7

Pictor

Wasn’t fancied in the markets last start but came from back in the field to finish 1.93L 5th in G3 1600m. Reaching peak fitness for this.

8

Agent Zero

Lightly-raced with one win and three seconds from 10 starts. Raced wide and without cover when a battling 7.88L 11th last in G3 1600m on 4 April. Distance suits but others better.

9

Monopolistic

Worked home well after being shifted behind runners to finish 2.39L 6th of 12 in G3 1600m on 4 April. Will be competitive at this trip.

10

Barrengarry

Has been good in his four races, winning his past two. Not long out of maiden grade but is on the up. Solid at his last start when finished strongly for 1500m win. Well in the mix.

11

Coulter

Has raced four times for two wins and a second. Has won his past two, including 0.22L 1625m BM64 Handicap victory. Creates some interest at odds.

12

Your Chilli

Lightly-raced gelding who has won his past two, both at 1300m, from his three starts. While he has been strong to the line, this is a steep increase in class and distance.

13

C’mon Flyer

Won an 1890m maiden by 0.06L at last start when fought on strongly after leading. This is a big jump in class and others offer more.

14

Listen Sweetheart

Won two in a row but next two, including last start 11.94L 13th in G3 2000m, have been average. Tries hard has failed to quicken.

Reserve

15

Mister Martini

Followed up 1400m maiden win with 1.24L 5th of 10 over 1500m on 31 March. Could be assisted by rise in trip but needs to do a lot more.
