The colt draws the inside barrier which should be advantageous on a soft track. While inexperienced, the consistent class level and strong debut suggest potential for improvement.
Jungle Warrior debuts for the strong Angela Plumb stable. The addition of blinkers and ear muffs suggests readiness to perform. While lacking race experience, first starters from this stable often run well. The mid-range barrier should allow tactical flexibility on debut.
The gelding has soft track form and gear changes (blinkers off, ear muffs on) could spark further improvement. While yet to win, the consistent form and suitability for conditions make him a strong contender in this field.
The gelding has consistent form and soft track experience. While yet to win, the consistent performances and gear change make him an interesting longshot.

Battle Of Vienna has the advantage of being a winner at this track and distance. His recent form has been consistent, and the gear changes (tongue tie and winkers first time) could lead to improvement. While carrying top weight from a wide barrier is challenging, his track record and soft track performance make him competitive.

Jenchick Boom presents as a strong contender, boasting consistent form and a high place rate. The mare excels on soft tracks and is dropping in class, which should give her a significant advantage.

The slight weight increase is offset by her proven ability to handle similar weights successfully.
Zouthur comes into this race with solid recent form, consistently placing in his last few starts. The gelding benefits from a significant weight drop and has shown ability on soft tracks.
