| Book | Form | Name | Draw | Hcp | Driver | Comment | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 907X98 | Commander Ben | 1 | Ft | Sam Thornley(J) | Just fair in two runs back but will relish the return to grass. Multiples value. | |
| 2 | 541317 | Commander Joe | 2 | Ft | Olivia Thornley | Backed up his Add success with tidy Rang run, 14 Dec. Minors in 3rd grass start. | |
| 3 | 707126 | Bettor Be Sharp | 3 | Ft | Gerard O'Reilly | Possesses super stats at this venue & racing in good fettle. Don't underestimate | |
| 4 | 055850 | Next Level | 4 | Ft | Leo O'Reilly | Racing better than form-line indicates but requiring favours in grass debut here | |
| 5 | 528075 | Here's Herbie | 5 | Ft | Colin DeFilippi | OK in latest runs and 4-time winner on the grass. Don't leave out of combo bets. | |
| 6 | 092391 | Buckskin | 6 | Ft | Sarah O'Reilly | Ended 1--month drought winning at Meth. Always a hope on the grass surface. | |
| 7 | 074610 | Insarchatwist | U1 | Ft | Matthew Williamson | Too strong at Wtui before being denied the front at Wint. Proven on this surface | |
| 8 | 930583 | Audacity | U2 | Ft | Ross Cameron | Gallant claim at Rang with inspired win support. Looks a clear threat once again | |
| 9 | 522866 | Still Rockin | U3 | Ft | Robbie Holmes | Solid without looking a winner in recent attempts. Outside first 4 prospect here | |
| 10 | 069445 | I'm Rockin | U4 | Ft | Carter Dalgety(J) | Less than 2L from winner in last couple and placed on grass. Throw into combos. | |
| 11 | 807947 | Dance Till Dawn | 1 | 10 | John Dunn | Tough mare seeking first grass placing in 4th attempt. Would pay to consider. | |
| 12 | 018492 | Kiss The Girls | 2 | 10 | Kimberly Butt | Closed with purpose at Ash after being devoid of luck at Rang. Enjoys it here. | |
| 13 | 343176 | Follow Your Dream | 3 | 10 | Bob Butt | Placed in only other grass experience which was here. Capable of filling a drum. | |
| 14 | 403022 | Tanzania | 4 | 10 | John Morrison | Beaten by two smart types in recent runs and win would be fully deserved. On top | |
| 15 | 136X62 | Cocktails And Caviar | 1 | 20 | Tim Williams | Denied by Amass at Add recently. Progressive gelding having his grass debut. | |
| 16 | 946984 | Built For Glory | 2 | 20 | Terry Chmiel | More than useful running into 4th at Rang. Tough mark but cover on combo tickets | |
| 17 | 178930 | Miki Bennett | 3 | 20 | Jonny Cox | Couldn't close gaps at Rang but Add run prior was bold. Limited grass experience | |
| 18 | 094778 | Double Time | 4 | 20 | Samantha Ottley | First attempt here but 3-time winner on grass. Needing favours off his handicap. | |

| 4 | 232816 | Dover Terrace | 4 | Ft | Carter Dalgety(J) | Found line with purpose after being held up at Ash. Looks a clear winning chance | |

| 3 | 152389 | Miles Away | 3 | Ft | Wilson House(J) | Form-line has dipped in last couple but can bounce back from a handy spot here. | |
| 4 | 340328 | Almighty | 4 | Ft | Jonny Cox | Pass-mark at Add after being held up on pegs. Runs prior strong. Quins/tris here | |
| 5 | 813403 | Royal Rock | 5 | Ft | John Morrison | Ash run was good after leading out and being shuffled. Best version can figure. | |
| 6 | 00067X | Sods Law | 6 | Ft | James Geddes | 12-time winner on the grass and has performed fresh but a tough ask 1st-up here. | |
