Trumper from the strong Kris Lees stable draws well and should get a nice run midfield. As a first-starter, there's potential for significant improvement. However, the lack of race experience and form data introduces uncertainty.
Experience over 1000m and a fitness edge are positives. However, the wide barrier and tendency to get back in running are concerns, as is the fact she's yet to win from 14 starts.
The first-time gear change (ear muffs pre-race) could prompt improvement. Likely to settle midfield. However, the lack of race experience and form data makes this a speculative selection.

XXXX Gold Plate (C1)
Despite the class rise, the gelding's lightweight and proven ability on soft tracks make him well-positioned to handle the step up. The wide barrier is a concern, but his early speed should allow him to overcome this.
The filly is well-suited by the track condition and carries a light weight. The wide barrier is a concern, but her early speed should allow her to find a good position.
Annoint is a consistent performer with a win at this track and distance. He's experienced at this level and handles all track conditions, which is a plus. The wider barrier is also a concern, but his experience could see him overcome these challenges.

Max 1073 Country Boosted (Bm58)
Spirits Burn Deep presents as the top selection with a significant class drop from recent runs. The weight relief and strong recent form suggest she's well-placed to break through in this company.
Cluedo comes into this race fresh, which suits her pattern. The mare is a class performer dropping in grade and has secured a top jockey in Aaron Bullock. The predicted fast tempo should play to her strengths, making her a strong contender despite the wide draw and heavy weight.
Punch One Out is showing an improving form line and gets in with a significant weight advantage. The good barrier draw and suitability for the distance increase make him a strong contender. While rising in class is a concern, the weight relief and improving form suggest he can be competitive at this level.
Bondi Prophet represents value in this field. The advantageous inside barrier draw could see him get the run of the race. While rising in class is a challenge, his potential for improvement makes him an interesting longshot.

Stacks Law Firm (Bm58)
All Too Rosey is a solid second pick with consistent recent form and a strong record at the track. Well-weighted and drawn to get a good run, she should be competitive throughout. While yet to win this prep, her consistency and suitability for conditions make her a strong contender.
Smart Jazz rounds out the top 3 selections with recent good form and a strong jockey booking. Proven at the distance and coming off a quick back-up, he should be ready to run well. The wide barrier is a concern, but with luck in running, he can be competitive in this field.
Cluedo presents as the top selection despite some concerns. The significant class drop from metropolitan racing is a major positive, coupled with the booking of in-form jockey Aaron Bullock. While unproven at the distance, her consistent form in higher grade and affinity for good tracks make her a strong contender in this field.
A speculative each-way play for value hunters.

Sky International (Bm66)
Singing Star presents as the top selection due to a significant class drop, consistent recent form, and advantageous barrier draw. While unproven at Taree, her adaptability across different tracks is promising. The main concern is her low win rate at the distance, but the class drop should offset this.
Hidden Hail shows improving form, including a recent win at Murwillumbah. The gelding has a good record at the distance and carries a suitable weight. The class rise is a challenge, but his recent performances suggest he's capable of handling it. Overall, a solid second choice with potential for improvement.
Telegraph shows consistent form and is coming off a recent win at Taree. The gelding has a good record at the distance and benefits from a slight class drop. While unproven at this track, his adaptability across different venues is a positive. A solid third choice with some reservations.
However, the significant class rise and lack of experience at this track and distance are notable concerns. The slightly disadvantageous barrier is also a factor to consider. Overall, a speculative value selection with potential upside.
