Encouraging effort when making the frame over 6f here three weeks ago; may be in the mix
2 (4)	Ping Hai Galaxy gr J:Karis Teetan T:J Size	J:Karis Teetan T:J Size	134	—	-62146	96	107	-	98d	—	—	—	18	—
Shade disappointing when only sixth on his latest start; returns after a break
3 (7)	Whizz Kid b J:Brenton Avdulla T:A S Cruz	J:Brenton Avdulla T:A S Cruz	134	tb	-69476	96	112	-	11d	—	—	—	11.5	—
Returned to this grade with a respectable sixth latest; yet to score off a mark this high
4 (6)	Stoltz ch J:Zac Purton T:K W Lui	J:Zac Purton T:K W Lui	132	p	210-85	94	100	-	21d	—	—	—	11	—
Held in two starts this term; plenty more needed if he is to have any involvement today

Arrives off the back of a hat-trick of C&D wins; 9lb rise may not be enough to stop him
6 (1)	Carroll Street b J:Antoine Hamelin T:Douglas Whyte	J:Antoine Hamelin T:Douglas Whyte	127	tb	0-1950	89	110	-	21d	—	—	—	9.8	—
Not threatened since return so will need to find hidden reserves to overcome current mark

Back in peak form in March; ran well when finding only one too good a week ago; chance
8 (5)	Sunny Boy ch J:Angus Chung(7) T:W Y So	J:Angus Chung(7) T:W Y So	118	tb	00-009	80	97	-	21d	—	—	—	7.5	—
Badly out of form in four starts this season; makes very limited appeal at present
