| 2 | 463035 | A Reason To Fight | 2 | Ft | Stephen McNally | No luck after early break 9 days ago. Clear prospect if he brings his manners. | |
| 3 | 690X36 | Stuarts Buller Boy | 3 | Ft | Blair Orange | Resumed with tidy 3rd here but dropped out from the trail 5 weeks later. Risking | |
| 4 | 0 | Arden Solitaire | 4 | Ft | Amber Lethaby | Mid-race break proved terminal on debut. 2nd to #1 at trial previous; keep safe. | |
| 5 | Full Exposure | 5 | Ft | Samantha Ottley | Has shown up at recent trials and a bold first-up showing wouldn't surprise here | ||
| 6 | 446D78 | Rondo Trouble | 6 | Ft | Ricky May | Unable to quicken in latest outings and a major turnaround is required today. | |

| 10 | 9X6062 | Muscle Dash | 10 | Ft | John Dunn | Tried hard after getting a gun run at Ash. Unlikely to get that from a wide draw | |
