Robert's Star (10/3), Sartorial Elegance (7/1), Motueka (7/1), For Carmel (15/2), Zanstra (8/1), Billy Dutton (9/1), Tea Time Fred (9/1), Ouro Branco (9/1), Mountain Of Mourne (12/1), Umberto D'olivate (16/1), Midnight Request (18/1)

Not a strong opener and one where it looks worth siding with the apparently fairly-treated handicap debutante MOTUEKA for the Hobbs-Johnson team. Old boy Billy Dutton is on the sort of mark from which he could have a say, as is Mountain Of Mourne. Robert's Star and For Carmel are others to consider.
