Oxford Blu (11/8), Hermarna (6/1), Macksville (13/2), Teak (13/2), Goldslinger (8/1), Balkinstown (9/1), Danglydontask (10/1), Aristocracy (10/1), See And Be Seen (14/1), Riptide (16/1), Ring Eye (16/1), Chevalgris (25/1), Rocky Elsom (25/1)

Oxford Blu will be popular given his shrewd connections, but he is vulnerable and is taken on with ARISTOCRACY, who ran a blinder over hurdles last time and should be suited by this stamina test back on the Flat. Hermana could well improve for this trip, along with Macksville. Balkinstown also enters the equation.
