Despite the top weight, his consistency and class edge make him the top pick. The booking of Zac Purton is a significant positive, and his ability to perform well fresh adds confidence.
Vulcanus is a consistent performer with an excellent place record. The significant weight relief and good barrier draw enhance his chances. Dropping in class should see him very competitive, though his win strike rate is a concern.
Glory Cloud's consistent recent form and the addition of blinkers for the first time make him an interesting prospect. The good barrier and light weight are positives, but the long break between runs and lack of wins are concerns. Could improve sharply with the gear change.
The lightweight gives him a chance to overcome the wide barrier.

Dragon Four Seas presents as the top selection with consistent form, an excellent track record at Happy Valley, and the benefit of a class drop. The combination of these factors, along with Zac Purton in the saddle, gives this runner a strong winning chance despite the slightly awkward barrier draw.

Power Koepp brings consistent form and a strong track record to this race. Well-weighted and with Alexis Badel in the saddle, this runner has a good chance of finishing in the placings. The slightly tricky barrier and time since last run are minor concerns but not enough to significantly dampen prospects.
