Nonrunner
Sarahs Gift, Thai Vango and The Wicketkeeper make the shortlist here, with SARAH'S GIFT in good form and taken to score. Thai Vango has not won since landing a bumper on his debut, but his efforts recently have been decent, finishing runner up on his last three starts. He looks sure to run his race and can be thereabouts. The Wicketkeeper saddles top weight despite not having won for almost two years, but there was a lot to like about his fine second in a fair race at Perth recently and can go well. Sarahs Gift is 16lbs higher than when landing the hat trick in good style recently but may be hard to stop, receiving weight from most of his rivals. He is very much on the upgrade and Sarahs Gift can make it four in a row.
