#3 Not A Few turned in an eye-catching fifth first-up in his debut run for the David Eustace stable, also his first attempt in Class 5, despite a slow start. With a sharper start, he looks the one to beat. #1 Fairy Horse backs up from Wednesday night, where he narrowly missed the placings in fourth. While draw 11 isn’t ideal, he’s primed for a breakthrough in this grade. #4 Spangle Fortune has trialled well since his first-up run and should secure an early on-pace position from his low barrier under Britney Wong’s 10lb claim. #5 Colourful Baron impressed with an easy 1800m win last start despite covering extra ground. If he holds that form, he should be competitive again from an inside gate, though consistency can be elusive in Class 5.
