Top pick: #2 (DON'T FOOLI HOOLI) - Ran deceptively well in his first try against winners last out. Wide from the get-go he stayed on strongly and held well late. Likes this course (2-1-1-0) and can win this from just off the pace.
2nd pick: #5 (Thunder Buddy) - The main speed in a race without much of that commodity on view. Strong on the pace try in his only other grass race, and a repeat of that effort makes him a win contender.
3rd pick: #6 (Pano's Love) - Broke slowly and raced wide in his first start against winners. He's picked up his game since resuming his career after having seven months off. Defeated by the top pick the last time they met with no excuse.
4th pick: #10 (Conduct of Honour) - Rallied late in a distance race to finish second last out in his first race for trainer Mike Gorham. Cuts back to a sprint and could hit the tri with his closing tactics.
