Progressive gelding coming off a strong last-start win under similar conditions. Gets weight relief and maps to get an ideal run just off the speed. Recent form suggests further improvement and the step up in grade is offset by the weight drop.

Country Comfort Perth (Bm70+)
Reliable veteran who rarely runs a bad race at this track/distance combination. Gets some weight relief through the claim and draws to get a nice run. Form has been solid without winning but should be competitive again.
Mare with strong track statistics who should take up the running. New gear suggests connections are trying to sharpen her up and the booking of Troy Turner is a positive. Main query is consistency but has the ability on best form.
Interesting runner dropping significantly in weight and class. Fresh up record suggests he goes best early in prep and the inside draw should give options.

Courtney Keeffe Elders Real Estate Mdn
Progressive filly showing clear improvement with each run. Gets in well at the weights after claim and has tactical versatility to overcome wide gate. Last start second indicates ready to win and should get perfect stalking position behind likely leaders.
Ultra-consistent galloper who rarely runs a bad race. Drops back slightly in trip but has strong form around similar horses. Well drawn to get perfect run and should be in the finish again.
Showing steady improvement and last start third was full of merit. Addition of winkers should help focus and despite wide gate has tactical speed to find position. Ready to peak fourth-up and should be strong late.
Last start placing at Dongara suggests turning form corner and gets in well at weights after claim.

Thank You Bree Parfitt Hcp (C5)
Brings the strongest track/distance credentials and appears perfectly placed to control this race from on-speed. Recent form has been solid and the slight class rise is offset by a good weight. Maps to get an ideal run and should prove hard to beat.
Has the class edge on these and draws perfectly to get a soft run. Second-up record suggests improvement and the distance is ideal. While the weight is a concern, has proven capable of carrying big weights previously.
Gets significant class relief here and should appreciate the likely genuine tempo. Recent form has been consistent without winning and the weight drop helps. Maps to get a good run midfield and can run into the placings.
Represents good each-way value getting in with just 51kg after claim. Has shown ability at the track previously and recent form suggests improvement.

Butterflyrock Leading Horse 24/25 (Bm58+)
Mare in peak form coming off impressive win at Dongara. Gets significant weight relief and maps to get ideal run just off pace. Strong record at similar distances and proven ability to handle good tracks makes her well suited here.
Lightly raced improver who has been racing consistently this prep. Gets perfect run from barrier 2 and should settle midfield. The drop in weight is significant and recent form suggests ready to win.
Proven performer at this level who has strong track statistics. Will carry top weight but has earned it through consistency. Maps to get good run midfield and should be strong late.
Represents good each-way value given recent form improvements and strong booking of Troy Turner. Well weighted and has shown ability at track. Likely to get back but should be running on strongly.

Congratulations Tash Faithfull Leading Rider 24/25 Hcp (C2)
Mare showing excellent progression with consecutive placings and a recent maiden win. Gets all favors from barrier 1 with proven ability at the track. Clear top selection.
Consistent galloper with strong track credentials and tactical versatility. Recent form is solid without winning and the claim helps offset the weight. Drawn to get a nice run just off the speed and should be strong late.
Mare in good form coming off a last start win. Has strong track statistics and gets in well at the weights. The wide barrier is a concern but should get a nice trail into the race. Genuine place chance.
Lightly raced improver showing good progression through the grades. The barrier gives options and there's scope for further improvement.

Thank You Ian Walton For Over 20 Years Service To The Club (Bm58+)
Progressive type showing strong improvement curve with excellent track/distance statistics. Gets in well at the weights after recent consistent performances. Should get suitable running position midfield with tempo to suit. Main concern is slight class rise but appears ready for the challenge.
Proven performer at this level with excellent track statistics. Has been racing consistently and drops back slightly in grade. The weight is a concern but has carried similar successfully. Wide barrier tempered by likely steady tempo allowing time to find position.
Consistent performer drawn to get perfect run from barrier 2. Recent form has been solid without winning and should appreciate return to this track where record is strong. Some concern about firm track but overall profile suggests strong place chance.
Lightly raced improver who gets in very well at the weights after consistent recent performances.

Gets a perfect run from barrier 5 and while rising in class, appears to have more upside than most. The step up in distance looks suitable based on racing pattern.
Recent winner with strong track/distance credentials who should get an ideal run on pace. While the class rise is a query, has shown enough ability to be competitive here and should give a good sight.
Drops significantly in class and gets conditions to suit from the inside gate. While recent form has been modest, previous efforts at this level were strong and the booking of Johnston-Porter is significant.
Represents good each-way value dropping significantly in grade with a light weight. Recent form better than it looks on paper and has shown ability at this track previously.
