Stepped up to 1m½f finishing 8l behind the winner here last month; has won here in the past but gone off the boil a bit recently; looks vulnerable

Bloomington

J: D Schwarz

Can boast winning form over this course and distance; solid effort when beaten 1½l to finish runner-up in a handicap (C&D) 35 days ago; a likely player with lower class a plus

Just Nuisance

J: D De Gouveia

T: A G Laird

No winning form at this distance but has won here before; beaten a fair way when seventh in a handicap latest over C&D; has a bit to find with Bloomington (tenth) on that running; dropping in class and likely to be involved

Champion Warrior

J: R Fourie

On a lengthy losing run but on a good mark based on best form; upped to 1m in a handicap two months ago when involved in the finish at 7-1; been raised a little in the ratings; very interesting if backing up last run
