 1 Precedence: Fought on bravely to prevail in Queen Elizabeth. In flying form and deserved favourite but 1-for-20 record at track is a concern.
 2 Sertorius: Just missed in Queen Elizabeth and meets Precedence 2.5 kilos worse but still one of the leading chances.
 3 Ransomed: Won Spring Classic two starts back before faltering in Sofitel last week. Worth another chance.
 4 Midsummer Sun: Broke awkwardly before storming home to grab second in Cup Day Plate. Must be respected.
 5 What’s In A Name: Southern Australian shipper who is racing well but this is much tougher.
 6 Epingle: Finished strongly in Matriarch. Consider.
 7 Detox: Struggling for best form. Tested in this.
 8 Queenstown: Consistent mare who has yet to miss the quinella this preparation. Will race prominently and take plenty of catching.
 9 Kazanluk: Worked home well enough in Matriarch. Rough place claims.
10 Miss Zenella: Should improve over the 2400m but others look to have her measure.

Tips
 4 Midsummer Sun
 1 Precedence
 8 Queenstown
 2 Sertorius
