Earthwatch (7/2), Bownder (11/2), Darn Hot Mystery (6/1), Geo (13/2), Sonic Pioneer (7/1), Lady Of The Isles (15/2), Dollyana (8/1), Warrnambool (17/2), Thiscouldbefun (9/1), Spirit Lead Me (20/1), Nakaaha (33/1)
This could go the way of EARTHWATCH, who took a step forward on handicap debut when third at Newmarket last time and can build on that effort to open his account. Heading the list of dangers is course-winner Geo, who has bounced back to form at this venue on her last 2 starts, while Spirit Lead Me is interesting having shown better signs on his latest outing.
