Third favourite is Gravina who was a length winner of the Caulfield Village Stakes and was strong to the line. General Beau resumed for 2.5 lengths 4th in the Group 2 Schillaci Stakes and is generally strong second-up.

1. The Astrologist (2)
On a seven day back-up after 6th in the Group 1 Manikato Stakes. Down in grade. Solid claims.
2. Beau Rossa (5)
The only runner resuming from a spell in this race. Placed in two recent trials and can run well fresh.
