Chetan (9/4), Classic Pursuit (11/4), Vincentti (3/1), Powerful Dream (7/2), Fredricka (4/1), Harrison Stickle (9/2), Swendab (9/2), The Big Lad (9/2)
Chetan has dropped to a favourable mark but his record in this grade is just 1-23. He still promises to be thereabouts but THE BIG LAD is 3-8 in this class and looks the one to beat. The topweight has been running with distinction on the AW this winter. He is yet to make the frame on turf but there are legitimate reasons for those efforts and this stiff track should suit this strong finisher who goes well for today's young rider. Powerful Dream has winning form here and her yard are 2-9 in the past fortnight. She was unlucky not to finish second last week to a well handicapped course specialist.
