1. Shoot Out Preview:
Shoot Out was super unlucky first up and that run should have a line ruled through it. He will have to carry a big weight in the race but he is the proven weight for age horse in the race and he will be right in the finish.

3. Veyron Preview:
Veyron was superb on debut but was a little disappointing last start although i thought the ride on him was quite poor. Christian Reith takes to the saddle again and he must be included in your selections and represents great value.

4. Fawkner Preview:
Fawkner hit the line really well in the Tramway Stakes last start when finishing seventh. He steps up in distance here which he has a very good record over and i feel he has a massive chance and is the forgotten runner in the race.

5. Sacred Falls Preview:
Sacred Falls has been kept safe by all bookmakers and they i feel are on the ball as Sacred Falls is one of the major players in this race and will be right in the finish.

6. Hawkspur Preview:
Hawkspur will start as the favourite in the race and he is the promising stayer on the way up and in recent bets he has taken favouritism for the Caulfield Cup. Im not sure he will be wound up fully for this race although he is the horse to beat on recent form.
Trainer: C J Waller
Jockey: J A Cassidy
Breeding: Purrealist X Mollyhawk
Prize money earned: $766380

7. Streama Preview:
Streama was massive in the Warwick Stakes were she went head for head with Rain Affair then had the tenacity to almost hold off those finishing from the back. Will go forward and there doesn’t look to be much pressure in the race and she will take a lot of running down.
Trainer: G H Walter
Jockey: B Shinn
Breeding: Stratum X Pensiamo
Prize money earned: $1712750
Form at 1600m: 3:1,0,0

8. Royal Descent Preview:
Royal Descent has struggled a bit in her two starts this preparation and this is a much tougher task, i would have liked to have seen more from those two runs before suggesting she is a winning chance here.
Trainer: C J Waller
Jockey: N Rawiller
Breeding: Redoute’s Choice X Mulan Princess
Prize money earned: $597030

9. Dissident Preview:
Dissident will go around with absolutely no weight on his back which gives him a major advantage in this race and is likely to go to the front and roll them along and be hard to catch with the weight allowance.

Jockey: Tim Clark
Breeding: Sebring X Diana’s Secret
Prize money earned: $351000
Form at 1600m: Untried at this distance
