|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 |  | 062343 | Muscle Dash | 1 | Ft | Tim Williams | Closed with purpose when the gap presented last week. Should dispute the finish |
| 2 |  | 24 | Birdy | 2 | Ft | Blair Orange | Looked an early winner after bold debut then early break costly 2nd up. Top pick |
| 3 |  | 50X | Mollys Remedy | 3 | Ft | Ricky May | Manners were missing on debut in late 2024. Has trialed so check market moves. |
| 4 |  | 796X73 | Bacardi Doll | 4 | Ft | Brent Borcoskie | Game run to secure 3rd a week ago here. Needed on combo tickets once again. |
| 5 |  | 0P070X | Phantom Spur | 5 | Ft | Lionel Dobbs | Last raced in early April when galloping at the bend. Happy taking notes fresh. |
| 6 |  | 6 | Lookslikeagangster | 6 | Ft | Justin Smith | Solid debut last week and will have derived plenty. In the hunt for minor prize. |

| 8 |  | 668X33 | Ruthless Emma | 8 | Ft | Anj Mugford | Two strong 3rds this time in and a win looks imminent. Required on all tickets. |
| 9 |  | 05 | Pat Benatar | 9 | Ft | John Morrison | Sound after a cushy trip a week ago. Needs to get handy early from wide today. |
| 10 |  | X35222 | Origin | 10 | Ft | Peter Davis | Found one better again last week but manners will put her in the frame. Each way |
| 11 |  | 57 | Mount Thomas | 11 | Ft | Paul Borcoskie | Has lacked dash in two starts over 2600m so far in career. Looks stretched again |
| 12 |  | 08840X | Something Else | U1 | Ft | Paul Nairn | Had some support over last campaign without securing a cheque. Respect stable. |
| 13 |  | 000 | Highly Rated | U2 | Ft | Jim Curtin | Winner of a workout before debut but manners have been missing on race-day. Risk |
| 14 | | 00080X | Just Charlie | U3 | Ft | Robbie Holmes | Spelled after 2 Apr miss at Tim. Hard to recommend over sprint from the unruly. |
