Heart Above (5/2), Foster's Fortune (9/2), Dog Fox (15/2), Theirshegoes (15/2), Chillhi (10/1), Ninetofive (11/1), Jumping Jupiter (12/1), Fairmac (18/1), Bashful (18/1), Evenwood Sonofagun (18/1), Ballyfort (18/1), Old Gregorian (20/1), Trailblazer (25/1), Jet Patrol (25/1), Moonlight Glory (33/1), Lahire (40/1)

Plenty have claims in this wide-open handicap and a chance is taken on HEART ABOVE to follow up on his recent Perth win. Opposition isn’t in short supply and if Dog Fox can eliminate the mistakes he’ll go close, with Ballyfort likely to improve for the switch to a big field handicap.
