Front Money is deserving of her status as a clear favourite for this contest at Newcastle.
She has raced well without winning during her campaign to date and this is a genuine drop in quality.
Brenton Avdulla will be able to ride her aggressively in the early stages of the race and she has won at Newcastle in the past.
Bucharest is a horse with talent, but there is no way that Highmaster should be going around at $9.50.
He ended up in black-type company during his Autumn campaign and his two barrier trials ahead of his return to the races have been excellent.
Rachel King can ride him aggressively in the early stages of this race and he will give his rivals something to catch.
Centimental may never have a better chance to record a maiden race win.
She hasn’t been disgraced in any of her race starts this campaign and on exposed form she does have a genuine edge over the rest of this field.
Barrier two is perfect for her and she will have every possible chance from barrier two with Sam Clipperton in the saddle.
It is no surprise that there has been a strong early move in betting for Captain Solo.
He has only recorded one race win during his career to date, but he has never produced a bad performance and he still has the upside to improve.
Nash Rawiller in the saddle is a big advantage and he is still over the odds at his current quote.
