| 1 |  | 99506X | Take A Chance On Me | 1 | Ft | John Morrison | Last raced back in Jan and yet to feature in 6 starts. Looking elsewhere 1st-up. |
| 2 |  | 452634 | Better Man | 2 | Ft | Thomas Borcoskie(J) | Within 1L of winner here, 19 July. Form overall good enough to give this a shake |

| 8 |  | 560800 | Dream Boyz | 8 | Ft | Kimberly Butt | Just fair when last here and hard to recommend from wide marble in current form. |
| 9 | | 080005 | Doctor Tim | 9 | Ft | Olivia Thornley | Better effort 7 days ago but unlikely to get the luxury of pegs today. Risking. |
| ---------------------------- Second Line ---------------------------- | |||||||
