- Jocelyn Young (HAS NO FEAR): “Last run was good. Expect her to go well here.”
- Kyle Harper (MATTJESTIC STAR): “Racing well. Awkward draw but should be competitive from there.”

- Ryan Bell (SWEET MADDISON): “Working well but scarred by the barrier again.”

- Josh Dunn (STAR OF WILLOUGHBY): “Working well. Should be hitting the line strong.”

- Gary Hall Snr (MISTER BUSHIDO): “He needs the run. Place chance.”
- Ross Olivieri (CARRERA MACH): “He’s racing okay. Looking to hit his very best form. He seems to be passed some of his issues. He will bob up one of these races but don’t know if it’ll be this one.”
- (JESSE ALLWOOD): “
- Deni Roberts (WHOSWHOINTHEZOO): “Super run last start and will need to repeat that to be placed here.”
- Kat Warwick (ALICE KAY): “Suitable type of race for her. The draw doesn’t suit.”

RACE 4 – CHOICES FLOORING FOR LAMINATE PACE

- Greg Bond (HOWARD HUGHES): “Place best.”
- (MAGNIFICENT STORM): “
RACE 5 – CHOICES FLOORING FOR RUGS TROTTERS CUP
- Aiden De Campo (TEARS OF JOY): “She’s going well. Her two starts back have been really good. She begins well from the tape. She should jump to the front and give them something to chase.”
- Chris Voak (SON OF A WHIZ): “A safe beginning should give him a novelty hope.”
- Nathan Turvey (LINE THE STARZZZ): “Place chance.”
- Michael Young (BEEFOUR BACARDI): “Going well. Usually bombproof and will be driven aggressively. Looks a big chance to win.”
- Kyle Harper (MAJESTIC DREAM): “Strong field but a nice type of horse. If he steps safely and is handy, he’s a terrific each-way chance.”
- Gary Hall Snr (TRICKY RIC): “Will be hard to beat the four. He will be in the money.”
- (THE MALE MODEL): “
- Deni Roberts (MY MDINA): “Good trailing draw here. Will look to punch through and give them our best late. Will be fresh.”

- (ON FAST FORWARD): E2
- Robbie Williams (TOKYO JOE): “Nice each-way chance.”
- Nigel Johns (DARK SECRET): “Tough assignment off 30m but I believe he’s the toughest horse in the race. Just need plenty of speed on at the top and he will make his presence felt at the end.”
- Michael Munro (WAR SPIRIT): “Very happy with the horse and should run a good race.”
- (MAJESTIC COURTNEY): E1
