| 2 | | 4 | Katelin | 2 | Ft | Colin DeFilippi | Comfortably held on debut after soft trip in transit. Seeking improvement. |
| 3 | | Kings Choice | 3 | Ft | Nathan Williamson | Related to talented fillies. Steady 4th behind #1 27 May trials. Place claims. | |
| 4 | | Becky's Girl | 4 | Ft | Brad Williamson | Quiet 5th 27 May trials after dashing to win 20 May qualifier. Right in this. | |
| 5 |  | Regal Summit | 5 | Ft | John Dunn | Qualified by herself after bubbling under for nice 3rd 20 May trials. Consider. | |

| Book | Form | Name | Draw | Hcp | Driver | Comment | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 |  | 8 | Shades Of Robyn | 1 | Ft | Jonny Cox | Don't underplay his 8th on debut with space at a premium late. Could surprise. |
| 2 |  | X65843 | Fear Gogh | 2 | Ft | Tim Williams | Plenty of cracks at clearing maidens but handy 3rd on Sunday. Combos hopes. |
| 3 | | 5X6756 | Easy Art | 3 | Ft | Robbie Holmes | Hauled in after leading on Sunday but didn't give up. Add in all trifecta bets. |
| 4 | | 21 | Whyamihere | 4 | Ft | Jim Curtin | Dominated in strong display at Ashburton. Only race winner in this. Top pick. |
| 5 |  | 070X09 | Shadow Creek | 5 | Ft | Robbie Close | Fair efforts in both starts back. Best draw this time in, but needs to lift. |
| 6 |  | 7X9465 | Tuppence | 6 | Ft | Craig Thornley | Not the worst 5th last week. Good 6th to #4 at Ashburton. Worth considering. |
| 7 | | 30 | Ultimate Gladiator | 7 | Ft | Samantha Ottley | Disappointed as 2nd fave behind #4 at Ashburton. Give another chance tonight. |
| 8 | | 970042 | Ultimate Perfection | 8 | Ft | Matthew Williamson | Showed gate speed at Ashburton & only grabbed late. May give this a shake too. |
