I Wish I Win (barrier 1) has been costly for punters, with the gelding having lost his last four races since taking out the 2023 TJ Smith Stakes, however, he's still been very competitive.
The son of Savabeel has been beaten by a combined total margin of 1.29-lengths from his last four appearances, which includes a narrow defeat as fav in the Doomben 10,000 last time out and the blinkers will be re-applied for the Kingsford-Smith Cup.
Think About It (barrier 8) is aiming for back-to-back wins in this 1300m feature, having taken out last year's edition before saluting in the Stradbroke Handicap.
The Joe Pride-trained galloper had excuses over the Sydney Autumn Carnival, with wide gates via his last two appearances and that was when he was being tried over longer distances.
Magic Time (barrier 9) is a dual Group 1 winning mare and the daughter of Hellbent recorded the latest of those feature victories in the All Aged Stakes, which was on the last day of the Sydney Autumn Carnival.
Antino (barrier 12) leads the local charge, a five-year-old who resumed with an impressive 1200m win in the Group 2 Victory Stakes on May 4
A galloper who quickly worked through the grades over his first few campaigns, Antino was Group 1 placed over last year's Melbourne Spring Carnival and importantly, the son of Redwood has a terrific record at Eagle Farm (five wins and a third from six attempts).
