1. Sky Heights - The wide barrier will help him avoid getting run into the fence. Also with Oliver on board, how can you look past him. Super impressive in the Caulfield Cup
2. Maythehorsebewithu - Loves Flemington and if the rain comes is a special on a track with a bit of sting out the ground. Very impressive last Saturday after failing at Geelong??? (go figure)
3. Rain Guage - Very impressive the other week and looks to be primed for this week, will not surprise if he gets up.
Longshot
Karasi - Bred to stay and defeated Maythehorsebewithu at its last start. Could be a good each way bet.
Crowd Favourite
Yippyio - While not the longest in the race is a proven two miler who ran second last year, would be a great story if he could win after almost dying a couple of years ago.
Others
Ethereal - Love the colours and pattern on the jockey, but don't know if she is the class of a Lets Elope who did the double. In the middle of the track and may get buffetted around a bit and distance is a worry.
Universal Prince - never been convinced and don't expect him to run.
Persian Punch - Too old, perhaps
Big Pat - Hasn't really impressed me personally, although his recent form has been good, just a horse that doesn't get noticed much, maybe a good thing for it.
