Merisi Diamond (4/1), Never Shout Never (9/2), James Henry (11/2), Ostraka (13/2), Goldrush Kid (9/1), Gegenpressing (10/1), Irish Rumour (11/1), She's Smart (11/1), Run Forrest Run (11/1), Sporting Hero (14/1), Mount Ruapehu (20/1), Babyface (25/1), Valentino Express (28/1), Call Henry (33/1), Old Chicago (40/1)

This looks wide open and it could pay to take a chance on OSTRAKA. She wasn't ideally placed when midfield in a big-field handicap here 7 days ago and, with blinkers back on, she could well be seen in a better light from a further reduced mark. Mount Ruapehu is proving inconsistent but capable of playing a part on the pick of his form. Never Shout Never and James Henry are others to note.
