| 2 |  | 050 | Pat Benatar | 2 | Ft | John Morrison | Solid 5th 2 starts back but got it wrong again, 20 July. Would need some favours |
| 3 |  | 27X867 | Hoofn It | 3 | Ft | Steve Trotter | Most recent placing was over this trip. Couldn't kick after slow start, 20 July. |
| 4 |  | 96X738 | Bacardi Doll | 4 | Ft | Brent Borcoskie | Nice resumption earned her a cheque but little dash 2nd up. Throw into multiples |
| 5 |  | 070X90 | Phantom Spur | 5 | Ft | Lionel Dobbs | No threat in two starts back with manners letting him down. Hard to recommend. |
| 6 |  | 06970 | Superfast Lady | 6 | Ft | Gemma Thornley(J) | Contained after early check last week but overall form hard to get excited about |
| 7 |  | 50X05 | Mollys Remedy | 7 | Ft | Ricky May | Passed beaten runners into 5th, 25 July. Still gaining fitness and not the worst |
| 8 | | 840X52 | Something Else | 8 | Ft | Paul Nairn | Denied late a week ago and maiden win looks imminent. A must on all tickets. |

| 10 |  | 2X3542 | Kowhai Sunburst | 10 | Ft | Mark Jones | Nailed late after booting clear last week. Should provide owners another cheque. |
| 11 |  | 0X70X6 | Lady Lucinda | 11 | Ft | Tim Williams | Likely to be improved on resumption run, 25 July and may offer 1st4 value today. |
| 12 |  | 570 | Mount Thomas | 12 | Ft | Thomas Borcoskie(J) | Out of it early when last here after a bad mistake. Likely to need some favours. |
| 13 |  | 96862X | Kamilla | U1 | Ft | Kimberly Butt | Has changed stables since running a strong 2nd here back in April. Just include. |
| 14 | | 080X00 | Just Charlie | U2 | Ft | Robbie Holmes | Couldn't stick to bunch a week ago after breaking in first-up run. Happy risking |
