ENDEMIC brings the strongest exposed form into her third start and the mile should suit her well. VIKING KID made ground late on debut and looks a major player with that experience behind him. AMBITION IN BLOOM finished with purpose first-up, and stepping up in trip can bring further improvement. MARCO POLO has scope to lift second-up after covering extra ground on resumption.
Barrier 4 · L Nolen · 55kg · Midfield
Two solid thirds and the mile make her the one to beat.
Barrier 2 · B Shinn · 57kg · Gets back
He closed strongly on debut and looks a major threat with that experience.
Barrier 6 · P Moloney · 55kg · Midfield
A strong finish on debut and the step up in trip make her a live chance.
Barrier 10 · J Mott · 59.5kg · On pace
A wide, uncovered run first-up provides an excuse, and the longer trip can suit.
Barrier 12 · F Kersley · 59.5kg · Midfield
Late progress last time gives him a place chance, though the draw is awkward.
Barrier 5 · B Mertens · 59.5kg · Leader
Earlier consistency offers some hope, but he needs to improve on his latest effort.
Barrier 3 · M Dee · 55kg · Midfield
She needs substantial improvement after a plain return, despite being fitter.
Barrier 9 · J Beriman · 59.5kg · Midfield
Trouble last time helps explain the run, but his record gives little confidence.
Barrier 1 · D Stackhouse · 55kg · Gets back
She has not threatened in two starts and needs to show more.
Barrier 11 · J McNeil · 57kg · On pace
He has shown little finish in two starts and needs to lift substantially.
Barrier 7 · J Noonan · 57kg · Midfield
He was well beaten on debut and needs to improve sharply over the mile.
Barrier 8 · C Newitt · 57kg · Gets back
His debut was poor, so he needs to show a clear turnaround.
