Last start he finished 0.19L second in a Listed 2400m at Randwick on 13 December. He’s resuming and likely to need the run.

4

She’s A Dealer

In-form New Zealand mare who was successful in a G1 1600m fillies and mares race at Trentham. She will be hard to beat.

Travolta

G3 winner last spring who is racing consistently. He’s dropping back in distance after his 2.92L fourth in G2 (2600m) at Randwick.

6

Encoder

Racing well but stepping up in class. Last start he won a Gold Coast (1800m) handicap on 14 March. Place claims.

7

Star Of India

G3 winner last spring. He will need to improve on his last start ninth when he failed to beat a runner home in a 2000m Listed race at Randwick.

8

Our Anchorage

He will need to improve on his first-up 9.4L sixth in a G2 (2000m) at Rosehill. Easier here but place chances look best for him.

9

Portland

Former Irish galloper who impressed at his last start when he finished 2.99L third in a G2 (2000m) at Rosehill. Go close.

10

Touristic

He followed his 0.27L first in the Listed Canberra Cup (2000m) with a 2.97L fifth in the Listed Albury Gold Cup (2000m). Each-way.

11

Les Vampires

He went forward and tired when 8.15L fifth in a G2 (2000m) at Rosehill last start at third run back from a spell. Is fitter and has place claims.

12

Nellie Leylax

Two starts ago he finished 2.09L fourth in the Canberra Cup (2000m) before 5.74L ninth in the Albury Gold Cup. Needs to improve.

13

You Wahng

She was never a factor when she resumed from a spell with a 15.19L thirteenth in a G1 1500m fillies and mares race at Rosehill. Place is best hope.

14

Sunset Park

Capable mare who won a G2 (2000m) at Flemington before a spell.  She resumed with 8.15L tenth in a G2 (1500m) at Rosehill. Respect.

16

Flying Bandit

He settled well back and made up some ground when 5.15L eighth in the Albury Gold Cup (2000m). Winner here. Chance at odds.

17
