Thee Creek brings solid credentials with consistent form and proven class. A previous soft track winner, he's well-suited to conditions. The main challenges are carrying top weight and drawing a wider barrier. While recent form shows a slight regression, his overall profile suggests he's a strong contender.
Brutal Glory shows an improving form trend and comes off a recent heavy track win. The inside barrier draw is advantageous, and he carries a favorable weight. The main concerns are the class rise and limited race experience. While unproven at the distance, his recent performances suggest potential for further improvement.
Despite the class rise, the colt receives a significant weight advantage and has proven early speed. The main concerns are the switch to turf and limited race experience, but the overall form suggests strong winning potential.
The addition of blinkers could spark improvement, and she's well-weighted. While unplaced last start and unproven on soft tracks, her overall profile and the gear change make her an intriguing value proposition in this field.

The inside draw at Ipswich is favorable, and his lightweight gives him a tactical advantage.

Adranos drops in class and has a strong overall record, including a win at this distance. The good barrier draw is advantageous at Ipswich. However, the long spell and top weight are concerns, as is his questionable soft track form. Still, his class edge makes him a strong contender if he's forward enough.

In No Doubt is showing promising form, particularly on soft tracks. His recent close second indicates he's knocking on the door for a win.
