Chasin’ Crackers for trainer Glenn Rounds looks all the rage ($2.15) in heat one in his first start over the 650 metre distance at Sale. He has had success over the middle distance at Ballarat with a best of the night time of 30.67sec (545m) and Sandown in another best of the night time of 34.53sec (595m).

Favoritism lies with Royal Intention who is trained by Diane O’Niell of Pearcedale in heat two. Although Royal Intention is yet to experience racing at group level he has had 19 starts for 11 wins and a second placing.

The TAB couldn’t decide on a favourite in heat three with Van Ann, Cadalora and Quick Jagger all opening up at $4.
