CAREER23:3-2

Jockey:Shannen Llewellyn

CAREER34:3-4

Jockey:Lee Magorrian

Trainer:John A Sprague

Aye Aye Skipper draws the coveted rail position, which is a massive plus for a horse with a tendency to race on pace. While the win rate isn't high, the inside run and potential for an uncontested lead could see this runner stick on strongly at the finish in this grade.

Mosgiel Daisy brings a wealth of experience and a respectable win count to this race. The barrier draw is fair, and with a jockey who knows the horse, she could be a factor if she finds her best form, making her a solid contender for a place.

CAREER5:1-1

Trainer:Terry Wicks

HIGH RISK

CAREER19:2-2

Jockey:Raymond Spokes

Trainer:Brett Bellamy

Sneaky Rich faces a monumental task from the widest barrier in a large field. While the horse has won twice, the overall strike rate is low, and the barrier makes it extremely difficult to find a favourable position, likely ruling out a win.

Vee Eight has numerous career starts and wins, but the place strike rate is low, and the barrier draw is very challenging. It will be tough for this horse to make an impact from such a wide gate against a competitive field.

Battledance is a very experienced campaigner with five wins, but the overall place strike rate is quite low. The wide barrier draw makes it an uphill battle, and the horse would need a career-best performance to feature prominently.
