Killer Kerr brings strong recent form and a proven soft track record to this race. The wide barrier is a concern, but her ability to handle soft going should mitigate this disadvantage. With a strong jockey booking, she looks well-positioned to win.
Jinsoku drops in class and brings consistent form to this race. However, the lack of proven soft track form and top weight are concerns. With an experienced jockey aboard, Jinsoku has a solid chance to place or win if the track isn't too soft.
Rainagain excels on soft tracks and comes into this race with improving form. However, the significant class rise is a concern. If able to handle the step up in class, Rainagain's soft track prowess makes him a strong contender.

Cougars stands out with consistent form, including a recent close 3rd on this track. Boasts an impressive 50% place rate and thrives on soft going (1-3-1 from 6 starts). Despite the wide draw, Brodie Loy's booking is a significant positive.
Tjaka is on an upward trajectory with a recent maiden win and strong 2nd place finish. The light weight of 53.5kg is advantageous, and the inside barrier (5) is ideal for Goulburn. Dale Cole's claim further enhances the weight advantage. While facing a class rise, the improving form and likely fast pace suit this runner.
Winnie Fortune has shown consistency with 3 placings from 5 starts, including a win on heavy going. The soft track specialist profile (3 from 3 placings on soft) is a significant advantage. Alysha Collett's booking is positive, but the wide barrier (15) presents a challenge. Recent spell adds some uncertainty.
A strong first-up record (1 win, 1 place from 2 starts) and proven ability in higher class races are positives. The Nick Heywood/Matthew Dale combination is strong. However, the long spell and lack of soft track form introduce risk. The good barrier (7) and likely fast pace could suit.
