Leading Score (2/1), Hi Dancer (5/2), Alys Rock (3/1), Bourbon Prince (11/2), Noble Call (15/2), Silver Trix (9/1)

HI DANCER has his quirks but his regular rider has the mount again as he seeks a fifth course success. He travelled well for much of the trip when chasing home Whitsundays here last time and, with that winner landing a better race than this last week, the veteran will be hard to beat. Bourbon Prince is interesting as his stable have had such a productive season and in particular around here whilst Alys Rock has recent course winning form and is not handicapped out of this. Leading Score may not be straightforward but makes his chasing debut off a more attractive mark and in an undemanding contest.
