Angel is on debut for Lindsay Park after placing in its most recent trial.
The two-year-old by Fastnet Rock is bred to be quick early on and it could pay to follow the betting moves.

Rocket Smile should be tough to beat and bookmakers might offer good value.
The four-year-old turned its form around to run second last start and the penny might have dropped with that effort.

Akamon has been close enough in two runs to date and it could get over the line first on this occasion.
Trained by Shea Eden, the lightly-tried former Kiwi runner could be at good value here in what is an even field.

Loxwood has drawn wide in barrier 11, but there was plenty to like about its last start placing and it could cross from out wide.
The three-year-old gelding finished only a half-length behind the winner at Bendigo and another strong effort is likely.
