Group 3 winner THE INEVITABLE (1) showed little early speed then came with a powerful run to finish second last time out over 7f in the LR Conquering Stakes at Launceston. Has a solid record at this circuit. Sure to go well. INDISPENSABLE (2) was sent out at 25/1 last time but ran above expectations and won over 7f in the LR Conquering Stakes at Launceston. Good record at this journey with two wins and five minor placings from 10 starts and is sure to play a big role. FIRST ACCUSED (3) finished 6 lengths away in fourth last time out over 7f at Launceston two-and-a-half weeks ago. Steps up in journey. Should camp just off the leaders. One of the main contenders. Set Weights OOP DOG (4) turned in another moderate effort last start when 6 lengths from the winner in sixth over 7f at Launceston at the second run back from a lay-off. Capable of featuring prominently.
