3Lofty Thoughts

Our price $2.50 · SP $2.50 · Linda Meech

Despite being unproven on synthetic, the colt's form in higher grade races suggests it should be well-suited to this maiden level. The Linda Meech/L Smith combination adds further confidence.

2nd pick4th
6Rainy Night

Our price $7.50 · SP $3.10 · Declan Bates

Rainy Night, from the A & S Freedman stable, carries a suitable weight and may be aptly named for the conditions. While lacking form data, the combination of a strong stable and capable jockey Declan Bates makes it a worthy third selection, despite the wide barrier draw.

3rd pickScratched
11Mahrajan

Our price $4.50 · Anthony Darmanin

Mahrajan, while lacking form data, comes from a strong stable with gear changes suggesting improvement. The 56kg weight and experienced jockey are positives. However, the wide barrier and first start status introduce some uncertainty, placing it as our second selection.

Value pick7th
9Gamadale Possum

Our price $26.00 · SP $21.00 · Neil Farley

With recent racing experience, an advantageous inside barrier, and weight relief as a filly, there's potential for improvement second-up. While unplaced last start, the move to synthetic and shorter distance could suit, making it an intriguing longshot.

Our price $3.50 · SP $2.10 · Declan Bates
