Ladies Man

New Zealander stayer making his Australian debut after winning the G1 Livamol Classic (2040m) at last start. Good form for this.

2

Kalapour

Has been thereabouts in recent runs but needs to find a few lengths to match it with some of the more fancied runners.

3

Athabascan

Held up at the 400m in the Moonee Valley Gold Cup (2500m) and didn’t get clear running until passing the 100m. Can bounce back.

4

Mostly Cloudy

Races well at Flemington around this distance. Has been going through his grades nicely and is primed for this assignment.

5

United Nations

Finished well back in the Caulfield Cup (2400m) when went forward from a wide barrier with a light-weight. Wasn’t disgraced and this is easier.

6

Gan Teorainn

G1-placed in France over 1600m. Her form leading into this has been okay but it’s been at a much lower level. Distance suits.

Speak  

Yet to perform at this level. Got home well at her last start at Cranbourne when beaten 0.75L at 2025m. This is a big rise in class.
