Another Angel (4/1), Mininggold (9/2), Star Cracker (5/1), Marseille (6/1), Kodicat (8/1), Jorvik Prince (12/1), Mable Lee (14/1), Bonanza Bowls (20/1), Novabridge (20/1), Funkadelic (25/1), Cardaw Lily (25/1), Camanche Grey (50/1), Fuel Injection (66/1), Yair Hill (150/1)

ANOTHER ANGEL has been in good form in recent times and she looks capable of taking the concluding handicap. The selection has shown a liking for this track and she can get the better of Kodicat who can record another placing by finishing runner-up. Marseille is dropping in class here and she looks capable of finishing third.
