1. Campione D'Italia (4)
Superstar in the making . Won Gr 1 Sires’ last start against this grade over 1400m. Did it so professionally. Looks the winner.

2. Fireball (2)
Racing well and what he has going for him is that he is extremely honest. Not far away in the Slipper after a torrid run and came hard when 3 Rd in the Gr 1 Sires’ last start. Has claims.

3. Zambales (3)
Tough young stayer in the making but still a maiden. Ran on for 5 h last start in the Sires’ and this trip suits.

4. Southend (5)
Fascinating type. Winner of only 2 starts to date and we do not know his ceiling yet. In the mud last start he stormed to victory in the Gr 3 Bailliue. Must have improved since big danger.

Good on Soft
5. Diameter (8)
Up in grade here following his impressive on pace win last week. Must be considered.

10. Miss Chanel (12)
Could upset the party. Rattles home, is very tough, is on home track and looked solid this level when 2nd last start. Big danger.

11. Grinzinger Heart (7)
Started big odds and shocked everyone with her gutsy front running tactics to land the Gr 2 VRC Sires’ over 1400m. Probably tries same tactics here and may run boldly.

12. Salann (1)
Maiden but with a lot of talent. On the quick back up here after catching the eye when 2nd in the Fernhill behind Diameter last weekend. This is harder but is gifted.
