Sevenna Star (7/4), Sam Gold (9/4), First Eleven (4/1), Merlin Magic (8/1), Danceteria (14/1), Regal Director (14/1), Encryption (25/1), Artarmon (50/1), Nelson River (66/1), Twisted Logic (100/1)

There is little doubt we did not see anything like the best of First Eleven on debut and it is significant that a top jockey has been booked to ride. However, stable companion Sevenna Star shaped much the better of the pair that day and is a serious contender for this, along with Danceteria, Merlin Magic and Regal Director. The selection, though, is SAM GOLD, who finished like a train when second last time and will surely relish this extra furlong.
