Tankerville (7/4), Broome (5/2), Sydney Opera House (9/2), Sovereign (7/1), Guaranteed (7/1), Pythion (12/1)

Verdict

With all the field making their three-year-old return the market should prove informative. At this stage narrow preference is for BROOME who improved with each run as a juvenile. Tankerville created a big impression on debut and could run a big race with Sydney Opera House also worthy of plenty of respect.
