| 2 | | 172025 | Smoke On The Water | 2 | Ft | Ricky May | Can count himself a little unlucky 15Sep. May sneak under punters guard. First4s |
| 3 |  | 00X740 | Here's Herbie | 3 | Ft | Colin DeFilippi | Form better than first glance suggests. Goes best on grass. Likely improver. |

| 12 | | 616X60 | American Me | 2 | 10 | Gerard O'Reilly | Winner of this race last year. Fitness will be nearing peak. Has win claims. E/W |
