| Book | Form | Name | Draw | Hcp | Driver | Comment | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | | 66689X | The Next Best Thing | 1 | Ft | Olivia Thornley(J) | Form-line prior to spell was better than it read. Don't dismiss from draw fresh. |
| 2 | | 225610 | Smoking Ashes | 2 | Ft | Riley Harrison(J) | Tough Rang win preceded a gate-break at Ash with strong support. Clear hope here |
| 3 | | 040399 | Samvasa | 3 | Ft | Jim Curtin | No joy since his last placing but all wins have come on the grass. 1st 4 value. |
| 4 | | 1087X0 | Bettor Go Vinnie | 4 | Ft | John Morrison | Likely improver after finishing 7.5L from winner resuming last week and drawn ok |
| 5 |  | 351920 | Tosana | 5 | Ft | Blair Orange | Paid her way with a 2nd up North last campaign. Sure to attract attention fresh. |
| 6 | | 9X421X | Ar Gee Rulz | 6 | Ft | Ben Hope | Reefton winner back in March. Unplaced in recent w'out here. Market guide. |
| 7 | | 04X557 | Dave Duley | 7 | Ft | John Dunn | Solid since resuming and needed on combo tickets seeking first grass placing. |
| 8 | | 17P33X | Hey Tonight | 8 | Ft | Sam Thornley(J) | Has compiled a more than useful record on grass but no fresh form & tough marble |
| 9 | | 286468 | Delightful Dreams | 9 | Ft | Wilson House(J) | Ok from some tricky alley's of late and drawn to require some favours again here |
| ---------------------------- Second Line ---------------------------- | |||||||
| 10 | | P74556 | McKendrick | 10 | Ft | Mikayla Lewis(J) | Solid without threatening to win this campaign. Capable in 1st attempt on grass. |
| 11 | | 170869 | Louis | 11 | Ft | Ricky May | Dual victories here and may get an early run through to find a handy spot. Place |
