Motueka (2/1), Glanvilles Guest (2/1), Massini's Dream (4/1), Braddan Head (6/1), Royal Reef (8/1), Take Em Out (12/1), Troika Steppes (14/1), Gambling Gamut (66/1), Pac It In (100/1), Jonjoela (200/1)

Even allowing for the fact he gives away wieght all round, MOTUEKA should give a very good account of himself coming here in form and with no stamina doubts. The most interesting rival is hurdles debutant Royal Reef who has won his last two starts on the Flat and could hardly be in better form. Massini's Dream has become frustrating, but the unexposed Braddan Head along with Glanville's Guest, both have place claims if things go their way.
