| 8 | X11212 | Moonlite Blood | 4 | 10 | Robbie Close | Denied by a smart type at Tim. Impeccable form-line and clearly on top for us. | |
| 9 | 6468X0 | Blue Rock Dancer | 5 | 10 | Ricky May | Never a factor from 30m last week 1st up. Prefer to take notes in this line-up. | |
| 10 | 99847X | Sinai Sermon | 6 | 10 | Gemma Thornley(J) | Midfield in recent Ash trial. Has won fresh but entitled to start at long odds. | |
| 11 | X04947 | Tokyo Rose | 7 | 10 | Blair Orange | Solid Add runs and looking to extend a terrific record on grass. Don't overlook. | |
| 12 | 8480X0 | Gotta Elect Bill | 8 | 10 | Seth Hill(J) | Off-stride resuming last week at a long quote. Up against it in this full field. | |
| 13 | 66X165 | Still Rockin | U1 | 10 | Robbie Holmes | Runs in the South have had plenty of merit this campaign. Enjoys grass; blow-out | |
| 14 | 360955 | Insarchatwist | U2 | 10 | Ricky Gutsell | Sound of late and makes course debut with 6 grass wins behind her. 1st4 fringes | |
| 15 | 7710X8 | Misty Blue | U3 | 10 | Sheree Tomlinson | Sure to be improved from Meth slog resuming. Possesses dangerous sprint. Spice. | |
| 16 | 8506X8 | Homebush Lad | 1 | 20 | Ben Hope | Fair at Meth 1st-up. Proven on this surface but others likely to show more dash | |
| 17 | 073084 | Tempo Warrior | 2 | 20 | Wilson House(J) | Over-raced in front at Add when run down. Looks stretched in this line-up. | |
| 18 | 00X11X | She's Tough | 3 | 20 | Jonny Cox | Unbeaten in two runs last campaign. Yet to miss here and 2 fresh wins. Consider. | |
| 19 | 6558X6 | Wish Me Luck | 1 | 30 | Olivia Thornley | Tidy resumption at Tim. Winner of only grass track start and will carry support. | |
| 20 | 77191X | Sideshow Bruce | U1 | 30 | Bob Butt | Looking to remain unbeaten here and trial winner. Tough ask fresh but has class. | |

|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 51215X | Rena | 1 | Ft | Ben Hope | Showed promise winning twice in 6 starts in initial campaign. Include from ace. | |
| 2 | 679805 | Kowhai Nugget | 2 | Ft | Samantha Ottley | Racing out of new barn following a sound 5th at HQ. Capable but thin grass stats | |
| 3 | 21417X | Shannon B | 3 | Ft | Wilson House(J) | First look here but goes well on grass and in a fresh state. Entitled to respect | |
| 4 | 77X8P8 | Franco Sailor | 4 | Ft | Kyle Cameron | Battled hard in tough conditions at Meth. Could boost exotics from handy marble. | |
| 5 | 507609 | Wuhan | 5 | Ft | Matthew Williamson | OK at Add before Tim failure. Must show improvement to play a minor role here. | |
| 6 | 421340 | Apatchofgold | 6 | Ft | Colin DeFilippi | Midfield trial following disappointing Add outing, 15 Aug. Generally thereabouts | |
| 7 | 350422 | Mouton Cadet | 7 | Ft | Mia Holbrough(J) | Plenty of gate speed so likely to find a forward spot despite wide alley. Cover. | |
