6th

Randwick Guineas winner as a 3YO, but recent form has been below best. May improve with a quieter ride.

2. Palmetto (barrier 3)

7th

Snuck home to win the lead-up over 1500m last start. Up in the weights in a race with more depth.

3. Antino (barrier 2)

J.  Sam Clipperton Sam Clipperton

T.  Tony Gollan
5yo brown or black Gelding
10th

Comes to this with the best form, only just nosed out by G1 winner PROWESS last start after being held up. The horse to beat.

4. Hoo Ya Mal (barrier 15)

J.  Adam Hyeronimus Adam Hyeronimus

T.  Gai Waterhouse & Adrian Bott
4yo bay Gelding
8th

Sprinted well here when 2nd to MONTEFILIA before too keen in the G1 2400m Caulfield Cup. Best form puts him right in finish.

6. Jimi Hendrix (barrier 12)

J.  Brett Prebble Brett Prebble
57.0kg
T.  Annabel Neasham & Rob Archibald
4yo chestnut Gelding
12th

Has shown some talent in the UK, but does mix his form. Racing over 1800m fresh looks a risk.


Gear Change: Ear Muffs (Pre-Race Only) FIRST TIME, Ear Plugs (Pre-Race Only) OFF FIRST TIME

4th

Ran on well for close 4th to PALMETTO in the lead-up following unlucky run in the G1 1600m Epsom. Stretching up in distance now.

8. Hope In Your Heart (barrier 17)

J.  Joshua Parr Joshua Parr
56.0kg
T.  Kerry Parker
5yo bay Mare
9th

Found some trouble at G1 level last start at Flemington. Drops back in grade to a track she enjoys and softer ground helps. Just needs luck from barrier.

9. Zoumon (barrier 4)

J.  Ms Rachel King Ms Rachel King

2nd

Form was strong last prep, but was only an even run first-up over 1500m. Improvement expected.

11. Detonator Jack (barrier 8)

J.  Jason Collett Jason Collett
56.0kg
T.  Ciaron Maher
5yo brown Gelding
3rd

Ran on strong for close 2nd to PALMETTO last start over 1500m. Stepping up to 1800m ideal now. Each-way.

12. Unspoken (barrier 7)

J.  Tom Sherry Tom Sherry
56.0kg
T.  Peter Snowden
4yo bay Gelding
1st

Progressive import that was much too good over 1600m last start. Up to 1800m helps. In the mix.

13. Waterford (barrier 18)

J.  Tommy Berry Tommy Berry
56.0kg
T.  Chris Waller
4yo bay Gelding
5th

Ran on well for close 3rd to PALMETTO over 1500m in the lead-up. Stepping up to 1800m could be a risk.

T.  Annabel Neasham & Rob Archibald
5yo bay or brown Gelding

Big ask first-up. Others preferred.

T.  Annabel Neasham & Rob Archibald
4yo bay Gelding
13th

Finished off well for close 5th in the 1500m lead-up. Needs this extra distance and he will be wanting a dry track that suits swoopers too.
