Wanderinginthedark (6/4), Geordie Mackem (7/2), The Hatchet (9/2), Daly Boy (10/1), Je Mr Dawson (10/1), Redeeming Love (12/1), Sanilam (22/1), Latosca Du Houx (25/1), Another Gangster (25/1), Miss Mac (28/1), L'insurge (33/1), Walk On Son (40/1), The Low Ball (100/1)

Lucinda Russell won this with a point recruit last year so THE HATCHET is the suggestion before any market clues are known. Wanderinginthedark and Daly Boy are other interesting Rules newcomers, while Geordie Mackem should figure on the back of 2 placed efforts this winter.
