Matewan (11/4), Winston C (10/3), Weather Front (4/1), Eskendash (5/1), Helioblu Bareliere (11/1), Vision Clear (12/1), Mutadaffeq (16/1), Be Perfect (20/1), Lopes Dancer (33/1), Sunglider (50/1)

Two of these stand out from the others, and while Weather Front remains fairly treated despite four handicap wins this year, marginal preference is for the progressive MATEWAN, who can benefit from the weight-for-age concession. Helioblu Bareliere was third to Weather Front at Hamilton last time, and is entitled to close the gap now.
