Reel Orange (2/1), Scoresby (10/3), Ocean Heights (11/2), St Lukes Chelsea (13/2), Saucats (17/2), Makinbecon (9/1), Getone (14/1), Blazing Gaden (25/1), Alberts Bay (40/1), Crab Road (66/1)

Reel Orange is sure to be popular having won over C&D a fortnight ago but at the likely prices it could be worth chancing ST LUKES CHELSEA, who needs to put a lesser effort behind him but ran his best race from this mark on penultimate start. Ocean Heights represents a trainer/jockey combination in red-hot form and he can fight out minor honours with Scoresby.
