October Storm (7/2), Graceland (9/2), Waiting For Richie (7/1), Stone The Crows (15/2), Chocolate Box (8/1), Kajaki (8/1), Blue Hussar (11/1), Cray (12/1), Arrowtown (12/1), Denmead (14/1), World War (20/1), Big Thunder (33/1), Le Maitre Chat (40/1), Claudio Monteverdi (66/1)

A competitive affair in the finale in which the local trainers are well represented. Micky Hammond runs three in the race, all with live chances and it's BLUE HUSSAR who makes most appeal after his course and distance success last year. Cray and Waiting For Richie bring similar profiles in and would appear to be on nice handicap marks while the Arrowtown and October Storm had a good battle over course and distance in October and should be thereabouts again.
