| 1 | 0 | | | Marchesa | 1 | Ft | Brian Norman | New to the south & was only fair in debut in May. Happy to watch. |
| 2 | D68574 | | | Infusion | 2 | Ft | Carol Graham | Should have good residual fitness from last campaign. Has ability. Combos must. |
| 3 | 04556 | | | Makarewa Rick | 3 | Ft | Kelvin Franks | Has changed stables in the off season. Just fair in first campaign. Risking. |
| 4 | 63300X | | | Wazza Player | 4 | Ft | Alex Milne | Generally does things right but often lacks that punch. Place at best. |
| 5 | 768X09 | | | Lebron James | U1 | Ft | Frederick Service | Has been disappointing on the whole. Looking to others for the time being. |
| 6 | 8X289 | | | Bet's Best | U2 | Ft | Nathan Williamson | Looks better than these. Blew it the last two times but impressed prior. |
| 7 | 046883 | | | Eye To Eye | U3 | Ft | Alan Clark | Young horse - improving. Should be fit enough to run a bold race. |
| 8 | 020506 | | | Springbank Ruby | U4 | Ft | Matthew Williamson(J) | Struggled to stay last time week in strong field. Sound though & a combos must. |
| 9 | 200308 | | | Winfield Monarch | U5 | Ft | Jimmy Bond | Has been a maiden for a wee while now but should compete welll in this. |
| 10 | 533P67 | | | Becky's Baby | U6 | Ft | Jonny Cox | Moderate effort last week. This is easier so can certainly place. |

| 5 | 98X | | | Gold Digga | 5 | Ft | Matthew Williamson(J) | Changed stables & back from a big break. In-form stable could get her running. |

| 7 | 76890 | | | Neat N Petite | 7 | Ft | Kirstin Barclay | Has some speed but not the strongest horse yet. One to watch. |

| 1 | 12F337 | | | Shezaterror | 1 | Ft | Andrew Armour | Ran some cheeky races in handy fields in last campaign. Poised for bold run. |
| 2 | 643742 | | | Miss Milwaukee | 2 | Ft | Jonny Cox | Has been solid through the winter but would need luck to be a wnr here. |
| 3 | 95126X | | | The Receptionist | 3 | Ft | Nathan Williamson | Nice mare resuming. Has been good at w/os & she looks hard to go past. |
| 4 | 106770 | | | Trilby | 4 | Ft | Tony Stratford | Just a run behind the Fiery Ginga at recent w/os. Taking notes for now. |
| 5 | 604344 | | | Bub's Hanover | 5 | Ft | Clark Barron | Solid mare & will come back better for the slight break. Must include. |
| 6 | 067678 | | | Esweetashoney | 6 | Ft | Matthew Williamson(J) | Burnt up the track at recent w/os. She looks well placed & forward for a big run |
| 7 | 703654 | | | Omega Jaccka | 7 | Ft | Peter Hunter | Handy follower of speed. Fitness will be key here but she should be thereabouts. |

| 2 | | | | Kaylea Bolter | 2 | Ft | Andrew Armour | Picked a tough one to debut in but shows nice ability. Happy to watch though. |
| 3 | 8X | | | Hey Hardy | 3 | Ft | Adam Sanderson(J) | Struggled first-up but recent w/o form solid. Place show. |
| 4 | 502320 | | | Love In The Dark | 4 | Ft | Kirk Larsen | Better than a maiden & after a good trial win she gets rare good draw. Winner. |
| 5 | 80474X | | | Battle On | 5 | Ft | Maurice Kerr | Aptly named to this point. Hard to see her testing the top few in this. |
| 6 | 578286 | | | Bleach | 6 | Ft | Nathan Williamson | Trialled up ok behind a nice type early in the week. Can zip of cover. Value. |
| 7 | 00007X | | | Matai Prince | 7 | Ft | Alex Milne | Hasn't shown the required inclination to warrant respect here. |
| 8 | 5X | | | Major Deed | 8 | Ft | Brent Shirley | Nice type. Stronger this time in & trialling well. Looms as the big threat. |

| 3 | 00P153 | | | Artfilly | 3 | Ft | Andrew Armour | Is an improved filly. Meets a couple of likely sorts here though. Place claims. |
| 4 | X90395 | | | Lady Elite | 4 | Ft | Alex Milne | Not going badly on the whole but would need things to go her way to feature. |

| 4 | 10090X | | | Rocker Billy Rebel | 4 | Ft | Tony Stratford | Has changed stables. Has tended to be a plugger so happy to watch for now. |
| 5 | 009419 | | | Jaccka Creek | U1 | Ft | | |

| 8 | 989830 | | | Suncrusher | U1 | 30 | Brendon McLellan | Doing things wrong of late. His efforts are good though. Threat if he trots. |
