Senshi is a very experienced runner with a fair win rate but has been racing for a long time without consistently hitting the top. Reece Jones is a good jockey, but the horse might find this field a bit strong for a win, though a place isn't impossible.

Jockey:Leeshelle Small

Play My Song has a lot of starts under its belt and a decent number of wins, but its place percentage is not outstanding for a horse with so much experience. The inside barrier is a plus, but it will need to find its best form to contend.
