Twilight Madness (2/1), Total Commitment (5/1), Russco (11/2), Badri (6/1), Lordsbridge Boy (8/1), Ava Go Joe (10/1), My Little Tip (12/1), Rebel Redemption (14/1), Theotherside (16/1), Zargun (20/1), Dave Dexter (20/1), Dark Shot (40/1)

THEOTHERSIDE has shaped well when finishing in the frame on her 4 starts since joining Scott Dixon and can return to winnings ways. The 5-y-o did well in the circumstances when runner-up here on her latest outing, so she can get her head back in front again with her yard in good form. Twilight Madness has been consistent on the all-weather this year and is feared most, ahead of Russco.
