Chris Waller has won 5 of the last 8, and run 2nd another 4 times.

Average tempo expected here. Eliyass likely to try and cross from out wide to lead. Bois Dargent, Valiant King, Young Werther and Duke De Sessa on speed.
Place Du Carrousel, Knights Choice & Sharp N Smart map to get nice runs behind the speed.
Buckaroo, Warmonger, Circle Of Fire and Atishu back of midfield.
Bankers Choice, Via Sistina, Franceso Guardi and Huetor out the back.

2. Bois Dargent – Ran 4 th in the Caulfield Cup and won the G1 Doomben Cup. Needed the run first up after racing on the strong speed. Can improve here.
3. Buckaroo – Bolted in to win the Underwood. Racing in career best form.

4. Via Sistina – Won the Winx Stakes first up, then raced flat second up. Seems to get busted when racing against Pride Of Jenni. Better suited here.
5. Warmonger – Very talented stayer who bolted in to win the QLD Derby. Hit the line strongly lat in the Makyb Diva first up. Can win here.

6. Eliyass – Has won 9 from 11 and has won last 5 starts in a row. Times were strong in latest win.
7. Atishu – Has raced 3 times over this track/distance for a G2 win, and G1 win and a G1 placing. Right in the mix.

9. Sharp N Smart – Very talented on his day but has been out of form for some time. Improved run last start. Big class rise but interesting they have brought him over here.
12. Place Du Carrousel – Failed first up but had excuses. Has the ability to improve sharply here.
