1. My Oberon (barrier 18)

J.  Chad Schofield Chad Schofield
56.0kg
T.  Annabel Neasham & Rob Archibald
6yo bay Gelding
7th

Chased hard in a sprint home last start against G1 quality gallopers. Has form around the right horses.

3. The Inevitable (barrier 8)

J.  David Pires David Pires
55.5kg
T.  John Keys
8yo bay Gelding
8th

Ran on hard first-up for impressive return over 1300m. Clearly has the class at best, but does mix his form second-up away from Tasmania.

4. Going Global (barrier 12)

J.  James McDonald James McDonald
55.0kg
T.  Chris Waller
5yo bay Mare
18th

Got control of the lead and not too bad last start behind THINK IT OVER. Gets James McDonald. Not hopeless.

5. Converge (barrier 9)

J.  Tim Clark Tim Clark
55.0kg
T.  Gai Waterhouse & Adrian Bott
5yo bay Gelding
13th

Probably too close to the pace when 4th to REDIENER first-up over 1400m. Should improve with Tim Clark back in the saddle.

6. Golden Mile (barrier 21)

J.  Blake Shinn Blake Shinn
55.0kg
T.  James Cummings
4yo bay Entire
3rd

Dashed best up the inside to win over 1300m last start after some unlucky efforts. Won a Guineas over 1600m as a 3YO, but this is more testing from the barrier.

7. Kirwan's Lane (barrier 11)

J.  Tom Sherry Tom Sherry
54.5kg
T.  John O'Shea & Tom Charlton
7yo bay Gelding
14th

Outsprinted and kept chasing last week over 1500m. More tempo here could suit. Not hopeless.

8. Hope In Your Heart (barrier 10)

J.  Craig Williams Craig Williams
54.0kg
T.  Kerry Parker
5yo bay Mare
6th

Ran on well against the bias first-up over 1400m on SOFT ground. Suited to the mile, but firm ground would be a risk.


Gear Change: Blinkers FIRST TIME

9. Diamil (barrier 5)

J.  Jason Collett Jason Collett
54.0kg
T.  John O'Shea & Tom Charlton
5yo bay or brown Gelding
12th

Recent form doesn't seem up to this level at G1 over the mile.

10. Kovalica (barrier 7)

J.  Joao Moreira Joao Moreira
54.0kg
T.  Chris Waller
4yo bay Gelding
2nd

Back and only a steady chase over 1400m first-up when drifted in betting ($10 to $16). Up to the mile better, but might need 2000m+ to win another G1.

11. Nugget (barrier 19)

J.  Damien Oliver Damien Oliver
54.0kg
T.  Ciaron Maher
6yo bay Gelding
10th

Near pace and fought on well over 1300m first-up. Can push forward and has a very good record over 1600m on dry tracks.

12. Pounding (barrier 13)

J.  Ms Jamie Kah Ms Jamie Kah
54.0kg
T.  Peter G Moody & Katherine Coleman
5yo bay Gelding
11th

Ran on well at G2 level over 1600m last start. Down in weight. Probably rates a touch behind NUGGET on Melbourne form.

13. Communist (barrier 6)

J.  Dylan Gibbons Dylan Gibbons
53.5kg
T.  Michael Freedman
4yo bay Gelding
15th

Has had some excuses this prep and is a G1 winner over the Randwick mile. Could sneak a place.


Gear Change: Visors OFF FIRST TIME, Winkers AGAIN

15. Madame Pommery (barrier 16)

J.  Kerrin McEvoy Kerrin McEvoy
51.5kg
T.  Chris Waller
4yo chestnut Mare
17th

Peaked on her run a touch last start. Not a good sign based on her tendency to do that last prep.


Gear Change: Barrier Blanket FIRST TIME

16. Democracy Manifest (barrier 1)

J.  Tyler Schiller Tyler Schiller
51.5kg
T.  Chris Waller
5yo bay Gelding
5th

Dashed through to win over 1500m at Randwick last start. Has a nice turn-of-foot. Last 100m in this grade might test unless he gets a good ride.

17. Rediener (barrier 2)

J.  Ms Kathy O'Hara Ms Kathy O'Hara
50.0kg
T.  Chris Waller
4yo bay Gelding
1st

Near pace and fought on best to win over 1400m first-up. Sneaks in down on 50kg and maps well. Each-way.

18. Barbie's Fox (barrier 4)

J.  Dean Yendall Dean Yendall
50.0kg
T.  Ben, Will & JD Hayes
7yo bay or brown Mare
4th

Has been racing honestly, but this is harder now. Midfield run expected.

21e. Williamsburg (barrier 3)

J.  Andrew Adkins Andrew Adkins
50.0kg
T.  Brett Cavanough
4yo bay Gelding
9th

Not bad last week over 1500m. Weighted to do something, but he doesn't always finish his races off on firm ground.

22e. Political Debate (barrier 22)

J.  Ms Rachel King Ms Rachel King
50.0kg
T.  Chris Waller
4yo bay Gelding
16th

Up to the mile might help, but the barrier doesn't.


Gear Change: Blinkers FIRST TIME

2 - Pericles (barrier 14)

14 - Duke De Sessa (barrier 15)

19 - Waterford (barrier 20)

Ran on with THE INEVITABLE before running on well over 1500m last week. Well weighted, but will need a lot of luck.

20 - Olentia (barrier 17)

Brilliant first-up over 1200m before just peaking on her run the last couple. Prefer to see.
