Khattaat (5/2), Scarlet Dancer (10/3), Numidia (11/2), The Bog Bank (13/2), Areana (13/2), Happaugue (10/1), Boadicea Belle (11/1), Blue Wood (11/1), Tynamite (14/1), Sunset Nova (14/1), Lily Like (14/1), Kratos (16/1), Estella Bella (20/1), River Derwent (50/1), Little Trigger (66/1), Red Cymbal (80/1)

HAPPAUGUE is well suited by this track and shaped as if he'd come on for the run when down the field at Down Royal recently, so he's worth a chance to capitalise on a handy mark. Numidia looks the main threat ahead of Tynamite.
