Brave Way (4/9), Norwigi (7/4), Ardera Ru (7/2), Trouble And Strife (15/2), Tipperary Dexter (18/1), Trees Valley (20/1), Woodfield Symphony (20/1), Menindee (33/1), Gonedairy (66/1), Gaye Niniski (100/1)

This is likely to boil down to a straight fight between NORWIGI and Brave Way. Marginal preference is for the former, who held every chance when falling 3 out at Fairyhouse in April and subsequently acquitted herself well in a competitive Killarney handicap, form which has since been boosted by the winner. Ardera Ru could be in line for minor place money if her jumping passes the test now switched to fences.
