1) Private Eye (17) 57.5kg
Trainer: Joseph Pride
Jockey: Nash Rawiller
13 - 8:1:0 $1,446,460
Advert
Was a strong winner of the Group 1 Epsom four weeks ago and is building up a very handy strike rate winning eight of 13 starts to date. Drawn a bit sticky in gate 17 but is a drop back-run home type of galloper and should be hitting the line hard in the final stages.
2) I'm Thunderstruck (NZ) (10) 57.5kg
Trainers: Mick Price & Michael Kent (Jnr)
Jockey: Hugh Bowman
Advert
8 - 5:0:2 $905,150
One for the AC/DC fans who is a very consistent conveyance only missing a drum once in eight starts. The only knock is that he has never raced the Sydney way of going (clockwise) but gets the services of Winx's pilot Hugh Bowman to get the best out of him. No surprise to see him right in the mix.
3) Aegon (NZ) (20) 57.5kg
Advert
Trainers: Murray Baker & Andrew Forsman
Jockey: Jason Collett
9 - 5:0:0 $1,097,216
Hit or miss type of galloper who either wins or doesn't even get close. Is one from one at Rosehill but will need plenty of luck from the carpark draw where he'll have to navigate through the tipsy racegoers and waiting Uber drivers.
Advert
4) Apache Chase (6) 57.5kg
Trainer: Desleigh Forster
Jockey: Jim Byrne
16 - 7:1:1 $871,125
Queensland intruder who is fortunate enough to be let across the border. Has won three of his past four starts and has been in red-hot form of late. Looks a key player.
5) Aysar (15) 57.5kg
Trainers: Ben & JD Hayes
Jockey: Jay Ford
13 - 2:4:1 $577,120
Has been thereabouts in recent efforts but strikes a much harder contest here. Looks to be making up the numbers.
6) Aim (14) 57.5kg
Trainers: Peter & Paul Snowden
Jockey: Andrew Adkins
16 - 4:0:1 $1,661,025
Doesn't win out of turn but when he does he makes it count. Won the Magic Millions 3YO race earlier in the year when at long odds and picked up a lazy $1.165 million in the process. Will need luck from the machine but can show up at odds again.
7) Amish Boy (11) 57.5kg
Trainers: Ciaron Maher & David Eustace
Jockey: Kathy O'Hara
19 - 1:5:4 $939,875
Has only won one race from 19 outings but is always seemingly knocking on the barn door. Gets one of two female jockeys in the race on his back in Kathy O'Hara and may run a cheeky race at odds.
8) Exoboom (12) 57.5kg
Trainers: Peter & Paul Snowden
Jockey: Lee Magorrian
12 - 4:4:1 $307,730
Is on the quick back-up after winning at Randwick last Saturday but the Snowdens know what they are doing. It's a race with plenty of chances and he is certainly one of them.
9) Ellsberg (1) 57.5kg
Trainers: Gerald Ryan & Sterling Alexiou
Jockey: Josh Parr
11 - 4:4:2 $429,850
Is a model of consistency only missing a drum once in 11 starts and that was a close-up fourth. Drawn to get all the favours from the inside alley and won't have to travel far to get to the races as he is trained on course. Looks a solid each-way hope.
10) Love Tap (3) 57.5kg
Trainers: Richard & Michael Freedman
Jockey: Robbie Dolan
9 - 5:0:0 $262,525
A grey galloper who'll be easy to spot in the run. From a good barn and gets a good barrier, but is he actually good enough himself? We shall have to wait and see.
11) Count De Rupee (4) 57.5kg
Trainers: Robert & Luke Price
Jockey: Brock Ryan
13 - 5:3:3 $374,205
Ridden by the only apprentice in the field, Brock Ryan. Was almost put on his back last time out in the Silver Eagle and still had the audacity to finish third beaten less than a length. Should be right there when the whips are cracking.
12) Laws Of Indices (IRE) (19) 56.5kg
Trainer: Annabel Neasham
Jockey: Tommy Berry
11 - 3:0:1 $543,288
Has plenty of stamps on his passport with his last few runs being in France, England and Ireland. Tricky galloper to line up on form but we know he's in good hands in the Neasham camp and a bold showing wouldn't shock.
13) Maximal (GB) (22) 56.5kg
Trainer: John O'Shea
Jockey: Alysha Collett
8 - 1:5:0 $96,360
Is a three-quarter brother to Frankel who was an absolute superstar. Another tricky one to assess bringing Northern hemisphere form to the table and has been given the visitors draw in gate 22. Would need a bit of luck to salute.
14) Reve De Vol (IRE) (7) 56.5kg
Trainer: Annabel Neasham
Jockey: Brodie Loy
8 - 2:1:1 $87,630
Another Great Britain representative who looks to have better form over further ground. Prefer others in this line-up.
15) Forbidden Love (16) 55.5kg
Trainers: Richard & Michael Freedman
Jockey: Jean Van Overmeire
17 - 5:0:5 $946,450
Another one on the quick back-up having raced last weekend. Hasn't really regained the form she showed earlier in the year when a dominant winner in the Group 1 Surround Stakes.
16) Vangelic (5) 55.5kg
Trainers: Gai Waterhouse & Adrian Bott
Jockey: Tim Clark
16 - 2:3:2 $674,800
Being from the Waterhouse / Bott camp you'd think Clark will try to lead them up from the low draw and try to steal a few soft sectionals in front. The capacity field will probably not let her get away with that but will give a sight.
17) Media Award (9) 55.5kg
Trainer: Chris Calthorpe
Jockey: Jack Martin
7 - 3:1:1 $344,200
Was a winner of the Group 1 Australasian Oaks in Adelaide two starts back at cricket score odds. Wasn't disgraced in last week's Invitation but might find a few of these a bit too sharp.
18) Atishu (NZ) (18) 55.5kg
Trainer: Chris Waller
Jockey: Glyn Schofield
13 - 6:2:2 $251,445
Former Kiwi campaigner who has looked good since joining the Waller stable. Oddly enough, despite being trained at Rosehill she has never raced here. Drawn wide which is not ideal and we've found a few in front of her.
