Lionhunter Stables trained 5yrold horse by FANTASTIC LIGHT from FRAPPER MAINTENANT the winner of 10 races this guy has already passed that winning 13 0f his 28 starts and $517,754 in earnings he has been well handled by his trainer being brought through the allowance grades not racing in stakes company till last year when he won The HER DANCES Stakes 11f 106sp he has won over 12f and is in a good position in this field to add a graded win to his résumé. Likely to race in or near the lead all the way from this handy draw.

3 22667 GRAND DRAGON(IRE) daniel2 B Cokebottle 6/1

Daniel Stables trained 4yrold colt by DALAKHANI (IRE) from the he-mare SON OF DRAGON who did little on the track this colt has only raced 12 times for 5 wins and $133,765 in earnings missed in his first two starts but has never been out of the money albeit that all his racing is in restricted allowance races and will need to step up here to handle graded company. Will race mid-field and look to power home.

Given Stables: Fire and Blood trained 4yrold by FLYING SPUR(AUS) x IN THE WINGS(GB) x LYPHARD 15 starts for 5 wins and $214,450 in earnings lightly raced 4yrold train by a master trainer he should be ready to hit his best form stakes placed at 10f he won over this distance Alw-35200NW3y 12f 104sp last time out if he can handle the graded racing should go close will get back of mid-field and power home late.

6 145911 INVENTOR(AUS) majorbear P Harzheim 3/1

The CVBear Not-Evil Racing Empire trained 5yrold by LONHRO (AUS) from the SP mare PLUNDER MODE(IRE) he has raced 24 times for 4 wins and $181,354

In stakes trained by one of the most genuine trainers a man after my own heart who will try different breeding to try to get that champion horse some day he has a nice runner here who is never far away in all his races doesn’t win out of turn but when at his best he is hard to beat wins include The BOB THE COB Special-Stk 11f 106sp and was grade placed in The Timberland Lodge-G3 12f 112sp as I say on his best behaviour he will gives some of these a fright will probably drop back early and dive bomb them in the stretch.
