Divo showed significant promise on debut, finishing a close second in heavy conditions. The weight advantage and likely improvement second-up make him a strong contender. The Doyle-Osmond combination adds further confidence. While inexperienced, his potential outweighs the negatives.
Odaka benefits from a significant class drop and the booking of top jockey Jason Collett. While unplaced in both starts, those were in much stronger company.
Capital Jicinta showed promise on debut, finishing third in similar conditions. The potential for improvement and booking of experienced jockey Reece Jones are positives.
Magnolia Jewel, while yet to win, has been consistently placing in similar company. Her experience edge over the top picks and suitability to a likely fast-paced race make her an interesting value proposition.

While yet to break through for a win, the gelding appears well-placed here with conditions to suit and a strong jockey booking. The wide draw is a slight concern, but his tactical versatility should overcome this.
The inside barrier draw is a significant advantage, and the booking of Kerrin McEvoy is a positive. While still a maiden after 10 starts, this gelding appears ready to break through in a race that suits.
Royal Armada, while yet to place, has shown consistent form in similar class races.
The lightweight and addition of blinkers could see significant improvement.

| Scr | 6 | Cheeky Dancer | 8 | Braith Nock | C Maher | 55kg | |
| Scr | 8 | Nambi Ghima | 2 | Jessica Taylor | J C Coyle | 55kg |
Her consistent recent form, including a close 4th last start, suggests she's ready to break through. The likely moderate-fast tempo should suit her running style, and she appears well-weighted at 55kg.
Champagne Hero showed promise with a strong 4th last start and is likely to lead here. Well-weighted and with the advantage of a top stable/jockey combination, he's a strong contender. The slight distance increase is a minor concern, but his early speed should be an asset.
Contemplates, a first-up runner from the top Godolphin stable, presents as an interesting prospect. The gear change (lugging bit) could improve performance, and her likely midfield running style should suit the race. However, lack of race experience and a wide draw are concerns.
The light weight is advantageous, but the wide barrier is a significant hurdle. Her lack of placings is a concern, but there's potential for improvement.

The addition of blinkers for the first time could spark improvement. Well-weighted and with a solid place record, this horse is a strong contender despite the class rise. The wider barrier is a slight concern but may be mitigated by the gear change.
Southern Sky impressed with a strong debut win on a soft track, suggesting suitability for today's conditions. The light weight is advantageous, and there's potential for further improvement. However, the significant class rise and limited form references introduce some uncertainty.
While the class rise is a concern, the consistent placings and potential for improvement make this a solid value selection in the context of the race.

Carnegie Hill comes off a strong maiden win and drops significantly in class. While carrying top weight, his consistent form and proven ability at similar distances make him a strong contender.
Lady Savannah has been consistently placing and carries a light weight. While she's rising in class and unproven at this distance, her overall form suggests she's a strong contender in this field.
Cosmic Lad benefits from a significant class drop and has been consistently placing. While coming off a long break, his proven ability at similar distances and the booking of Mitch Stapleford are positives. The good track condition should suit, but he's unproven at this specific track.
He's proven at this distance and is dropping slightly in class.

Zip On By presents as the top selection with strong recent form, including a close second last start. The likely fast tempo should suit her running style, and she's proven competitive at this class level.
Dumebi is well-placed dropping in class and has a strong record at the track and distance. Despite carrying top weight, the gelding's consistency and good barrier draw make him a strong contender. The main query is his first-up status, but his class edge compensates for this.
Zulfiqar benefits from a significant class drop and has the services of a top jockey. The main concerns are the high weight and some inconsistency in recent form, but the class drop could be the key to improvement.
The gear change to visors for the first time could spark improvement, and the good barrier is advantageous. While stepping up in class is a concern, her recent form and suitability to the track condition make her an attractive each-way proposition.
