3 (9)	The Turpinator Bay J:Oliver Stammers T:Grant Tuer	J:Oliver Stammers T:Grant Tuer	135	—	690-13	85	97	50	9d	—	—	+6	9.7	6.25/1	25/1 4%

10 (7)	Al Muqdad Chestnut J:Ben Robinson T:David O'Meara	J:Ben Robinson T:David O'Meara	131	—	2462-6	81	97	87	25d	—	—	+5	8.7	6.25/1	25/1 4%

20 (19)	Minnesota Lad Chestnut J:Silvestre De Sousa T:Ivan Furtado	J:Silvestre De Sousa T:Ivan Furtado	123	—	62-655	73	97	79	22d	—	—	+4	6.5	10.00/1	40/1 2%
Two-time winner (5f/6f) but untested beyond sprint trips and this is a tough race
