1

Micro Mikki

Kept finding to finish third at massive odds despite racing wide when last seen on 4 April and might still be feeling the effects of that run.

2

Silent Impact

Returned from almost a year on the sidelines to run 9th on 22 March and is likely still building his fitness.

3

Occult

Has raced sparingly in the past 12 months but has won all three starts in that time, including over 1000m on 27 March. Steps up to 1400m and looks an each-way hope.

4

Punch One Out

Has lacked consistency in recent months and could only manage 13th at Scone last start. Prefer others here.

5

Concoction

Scratched

6

Danxia

Bagged a couple of wins at lesser tracks before finishing 6th of 12 at Doomben in Brisbane last start. Outside place chance here.

7

Christa

Has returned from a spell with two ordinary showings and will have her work cut out making an impact here.

8

Xcessive Force

Four-year-old filly has won three of her eight starts but her recent form has been a touch below her best. Improvement needed.

9

Whateley

Managed second despite racing without luck last start and looks well placed here despite gate 11. Each-way chance.

10

Ishikari

Convincing winner at Orange last start but could only manage 12th at this level over the Randwick 1000m two runs ago. The 1400m looks more suitable and she can figure.

11

Red Rags To Bulls

Has mixed her form since a win in June last year but her best is good enough to give this a shake, although the wide gate makes life hard.

12

Cruizingthestars

Three-year-old filly is undefeated from three starts and now gets her chance to test herself in town. Looks every chance.

13

Andale Andale

Has won once from five starts during a busy preparation but does not look to be up to this level. Look elsewhere.

14

Bonnie Murringo

Has been racing in good form in lesser-grade contests but would need to show significant improvement to figure here.

15

Light Foot

Scratched

16

Speedy Henry

Scratched

17

Tanglewood Jimmy

Has saluted once and finished second once in three starts since a freshen up but finds himself in a sterner test here. Place hope.

18

Santatime

Failed to beat a runner home over 1400m at Scone last start and would need to improve sharply to be competitive here.

Reserves

19

Nation Changing

Began his preparation with a win but his form has tapered off in two starts since then and it’s hard to have any confidence here.

20

Sargeant Stan

Has had three starts back from a lengthy spell, winning once, but was just OK when last in action, finishing 7th at Albury. Look elsewhere.

21

Breukelen

Has won two of his first three career starts to earn his spot here, although this is a much stiffer test. Watch.
