Classy English stayer who won this race last year. At his start he finished 1.5L second to Shader in a Listed (2399m, polytrack) at Kempton Park on 17 December.

2

Vauban

He resumed from a spell with 0.91L win at G3 over 2000m at Rosehill on 14 March. He finished third in this race last year. Each-way.

3

Soul Of Spain

Finished off nicely for 0.91L second to Vauban over 2000m in a G3 at Rosehill. Place claims best against this company.

4

Wootton Verni

Scratched

5

Valiant King

Former G1 Caulfield Cup (2400m) placegetter who was well held at his last start when 5.37L sixth in a G3 (2000m) at Rosehill on 14 March. Needs to find improvement.

6

Zarir

French stayer who has finished last in his two starts this campaign. He makes no appeal and is entitled to be massive odds.

7

River Of Stars

She’s fitter for two runs back from a spell but she’s a query at this level. At her last start she finished 4.26L fourth in a G3 (2000m) at Rosehill.

8

Piggyback

Improving stayer who followed G3 win over 1900m at Rosehill with 1.55L fourth in Listed (2000m) at Randwick on 7 March. Worth some thought at odds.

9

Aeliana

Star filly who took out the G1 Ranvet Stakes (2000m) on 21 March. Step up in trip suits even better. The one to beat.
