2nd pick4th
5Trumper
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.
3rd pick5th
7Hard Rattle
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.
Value pick3rd
4Diva Rouge
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.
