|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | | 460950 | Heisenberg | 1 | Ft | John Dunn | Recovered OK after slow start last week. Strong field again. First4s from #1. |
| 2 | | 106800 | Franco Sinatra | 2 | Ft | Blair Orange | Tough ask after early error at Methven. Talented but can't afford slow start. |
| 3 | | 16X604 | American Me | 3 | Ft | Gerard O'Reilly | Working his way back to form with Methven Cup 4th. Combos bait at this trip. |
| 4 | | 270X13 | Sooner The Bettor | 4 | Ft | Scott Phelan | Beaten Merlin fresh-up & lost no fans the start after. Danger from front line. |
| 5 |  | 1223X2 | Franco Marek | 5 | Ft | John Morrison | Got into great spot & went close in Canterbury Classic. Can play a part again. |
| 6 | | 2X8003 | Got You Covered | 6 | Ft | Kimberly Butt | Used short way home for tidy Methven Cup 3rd. First4s with similar passage. |
| 7 |  | 130X29 | Pinseeker | 7 | Ft | Jonny Cox | Overraced when leading in Methven Cup. Huge in Hannon. Can bounce back. |

| 11 | | X09821 | Mighty Looee | 1 | 10 | Tim Williams | Huge late to win Methven Cup. Back 10m here, but could run a bolter again. |
| 12 | | 118X54 | Mach Shard | 2 | 10 | Crystal Hackett(J) | Two-time autumn feature winner. Good spring runs & moves 10m closer. EW. |
| 13 |  | 5342X8 | Rock N Roll Doo | 3 | 10 | Carter Dalgety(J) | Well back when resuming here last week. Dangerous at his best. Consider. |
| 14 | | 535X00 | Beach Ball | 4 | 10 | Ricky May | Doing his chips early at the start since resuming. Can win but needs manners. |
| 15 | | 13X796 | Da Vinci | 5 | 10 | Craig Ferguson | Gaps in short supply in all three runs back. Could surprise with last say. |
