Jockey: Billy Egan | Trainer: Patrick Payne
Was doing its best work late when placed Caulfield July 25 2394m Good 4. No problem with wet ground. Unplaced at both Flemington starts to date but not a lot of depth in this and the small sized field suits. Eachway.

Top Tip – Galactic Fury
Jockey: Jye McNeil | Trainer: Ciaron Maher and David Eustace

Place Tip – Fatigues
Jockey: Damien Oliver | Trainer: James Cummings
Was caught three wide without cover and worked too hard when unplaced Caulfield July 25 1400m Good 4. Has won on slow ground and at 1400m and well worth another chance.

Place Tip – Royal Filly
Jockey: Jye McNeil | Trainer: Ciaron Maher and David Eustace
Was always traveling well when it won Pakenham Synthetic July 21 1400m showing its best in the final 200m. Quick step up to 1800m suggests that win may have been a bonus and staying is more its caper.
