The maidens kick us off. GOLD FEVER (1) resumes here but the form he showed when last in work was more than good enough to feature in a race like this. Has placed around this circuit and a strong showing while fresh would not surprise. RARE AND RELIABLE (10) was okay at Ipswich on debut before being tipped out for time to furnish. Has since returned with a close-up second over this track and trip and gets some weight relief with the claim. Looms as the main danger. ZOUCHASE (8) has been well in the betting in all three career outings to date and where there's smoke there's fire. Watch for a spike in form. PRINCESS MONEYBAGS (9) is first-up here but revved up for this with a recent Doomben trial and must be respected from the Heathcote camp. In the mix. FINAL VOYAGE (5) is at the races for the first time but has shown ability at the trials and any market confidence must be noted.
