1. Militarize (4)
Star 3YO who loves this trip, this grade, this track and this draw. Should be too strong for these late.

Proven Winner
2. Tom Kitten (8)
Smart 3Yo who is being trained to win the Gr 1 Derby in a few weeks and his two runs this time up have certainly suggested that as he’s had no pace early but has run home hard. This trip will suit even more and he has tightened up. Looks a threat to Militarize today.

Ready to Fire
3. Celestial Legend (11)
This colt might be very good, and certainly, his trainer thinks so comparing him to the equal of his former superstar, The Everest winner Classique Legend. Underlined all that admiration for him with a devastating Gr 2 Hobartville win over 1400m when he chimed in at the 200m and zoomed away. Respect him.

In Form
4. Encap (10)
What a reliable, beautiful horse who is rapidly captivating the racing world with the commitment he puts into his races. Resumed and was placed this grade then was wide yet still came hard when runner-up to the flying Celestial Legend in the Gr 2 Hobartville over 1400m. Fitter now and should run home gamely again into a placing.

5. Ganbare (5)
Smart type who is suited this trip now 2nd up. Was on speed all the way when useful 7th in the Gr 2 Hobartville behind Celestial Legend and Encap. Fitter now. Probably sits outside the leader Les Vampires from the get-go and on home track will give some cheek.

Ready to Fire
6. Les Vampires (2)
Front-runner who seems to be improving every start and is being aimed at the Derby. So you would suspect he’d drive hard here and lead, like he did in the Gr 2 Hobartville last start. Hung tough for 3rd in that race. Fitter now and represents a threat.

7. Fukubana (3)
Bush trained but has city class. And is bred to love this journey. Did sit 4th most of the way and kept grinding home when 4th in the Hobartville last start. Is very fit and this trip should suit. Sneaky place hope.

8. Ducasse (9)
Is 3rd up here and is ready to pounce. Has placed at Gr 2 level over this trip. Last start got back in the ruck and only plodded home when 8th in the Gr 2 Hobartville. Seems ready to improve on that.

9. Ceolwulf (1)
Lightly raced but has talent. Ran a sub 1:22 for 1400m in the Gr 3 Ming Dynasty last prep and that is fast. Not far away 6th in the Hobartville last start and will benefit from that a great deal. Place show.

10. Cafe Millenium (7)
Has talent but maybe needs to win a few mid-weeks, get his confidence up so he can run with these big boys. Later.

Form is encouraging in weaker grade but at level weights some of these superstars will handle him. Prefer in an easier race because he is on the rise.
