William Elson (Trainer): “I missed the chance to trial him at Lismore and I nearly didn't nominate him, but thought I would give it a go. If he jumps well, he will be hard to beat. I think he is entitled to be favourite. We have a good alley and he seems to like the track.”

ARG Comments: Lismore specialist who will need to step well and find some room early to put himself in the race. If he can get that luck, he could be a knockout, but it is a big “if”.

Tom Tzouvelis (Trainer): “Hopefully she can cross Mal Rose Hi and find the fence. She is very strong and broke the 35-seconds at her first go over 600 metres at Albion Park. She has a small injury after that and is still on the way back. She has been racing well and only need that bit of luck to find the fence, then she may get the run.”

Glenda Dart (Trainer): “He broke in at the track so he knows the place okay. He had a break in the lead up to this so he would be fresh. We would have been happier with an inside box, he will have to go straight, he cut a bit left last week.”

Peter O'Reilly (Trainer): “He trialled the Monday before the heats last week on a wet track, I'm not sure whether or not that may have just left him a little bit flat. He should be better for the run last week. If he can lead at the first corner, I will be stoked.”

The charge to the first turn is going to be all important.

Birkdale Beauty (8) will be looking to replicate her slick first section from last week. If she can she may take some catching.

Bill's Fantasy (2) has the draw and the pace to make this race his own and looks the obvious punter's elect.

Yogi Blue (7) has plenty of class and should be improved from last week.

Outa Tempo (5) and Fusaichi Khan (6) are very consistent and their chances hinge on jumping ok and landing in the first couple early.

Walk With Faith (4) and Love Kills (1) both have powerful finishes and could have the last crack at the leaders.
