Fay & Kalan Memorial Mdn Plate
He's proven at the distance and has a suitable barrier draw. While yet to win, his recent performances suggest he's ready to break through.
Le Troisir has shown consistency at this class level and performs well on soft tracks. The gear change (ear muffs pre-race) could spark improvement. The Waller-Bullock combination is strong, but the long break and declining form trend are concerns.
The addition of blinkers could spark significant improvement, and he's well-drawn for his likely on-pace running style. However, he's yet to place and is unproven on soft tracks.

Step Quick presents as the most likely winner with consistent recent form, including multiple placings. The inside barrier draw should allow for an ideal run in transit.
Misty Veil, from the strong Maher stable, carries the lightest weight and has the advantage of being first-up. The gear changes suggest improvement is expected. However, lack of race experience and an unproven record on soft tracks are concerns.
Rockbarton Max has a good barrier draw and an experienced jockey. As a likely leader, the colt could take advantage of the 900m distance. Being first-up adds an element of unknown potential, but lack of race experience and soft track form are concerns.
The mare showed improvement with a 3rd place finish 14 days ago and has experience on heavy tracks. The inside barrier is advantageous, and the form trend is positive.

California Secret brings strong recent form with back-to-back wins, including success on soft going. As an improving 3YO with a weight advantage, he's well-positioned to handle the class rise. The wide barrier is a concern, but his early speed should allow him to overcome it.
