Prince Dundee (10/3), Oscar Ceremony (9/2), Katalystic (9/2), Skyhill (5/1), Ripstick (7/1), Voila Eric (8/1), Multipede (17/2), Barfly (28/1), Jackofhearts (66/1)

Having given the vote to a James Ewart-trained runner coming off the back of a layoff earlier on the card, it would be contradictory not to afford due respect to another of those here in Multipede, who could go well. Ripstick has a feather weight to carry and could get heavily involved now back up in trip, but Lucinda Russell appears to hold the key here through recent Perth winner Katalystic, and stablemate PRINCE DUNDEE, who ran well over C&D last time and might be the one for today.
