Clevadude Preview:
Was the favourite for the race leading up to the barrier draw but after drawing barrier eighteen punters have shied away from him. Has won both of his starts in Melbourne impressively with Craig Newitt taking the ride. Looks to be one of the best horses in the race but the barrier is a worry.

Ticket To Toorak Preview:
Has won one race from two starts at Seymour. Makes the trip north to tackle what looks to be a very tough race to win and from his recent runs it looks like he will be outclassed and would need to improve substantially to win on Saturday.

One of the more experienced runners heading into the race with five starts under his belt. Will start the race at long odds and from his form and the realisation that he is unlikely to improve as much as some of the others i doubt he will figure in the finish.

Assail Preview:
The well backed favourite for Saturdays race. Has had two starts for two wins in his career including a three length impressive victory in the Wyong Magic Millions Classic last start.
