2nd pick2nd
10Zourun Run
Zourun Run, while unraced, comes from the strong Parnham stable with Chris Parnham aboard. As a first-starter, it likely has a fitness edge over some rivals. The 55kg weight is favorable, and barrier 7 should suit its running style. The main question mark is its untested ability in race conditions.
3rd pick7th
3Gentleman''s Code
Gentleman's Code is an interesting prospect with the first-time lugging bit suggesting potential improvement. Brad Parnham is a strong jockey booking, and the neutral barrier should allow for a forward position. While unraced and thus an unknown quantity, the gear change and connections inspire some confidence.
Value pick8th
4Messina
The 144-day break could see her return improved, and trainer Simon Miller is adept at preparing horses.

9Return Of The Mach
The addition of blinkers and a weight advantage make her a strong contender. While yet to win, her consistent placings suggest she's ready to break through.
2nd pick3rd
10Talkaway
With an experienced jockey and a suitable barrier, she's well-positioned to challenge for the win. The slightly higher weight is the main concern.
3rd pick2nd
13Rock The Market
As a first-up runner, there's potential for improvement. The lightweight and good barrier position could be advantageous in this field.
Value pickScratched
17Drag Machine
While the wide barrier and long layoff are concerns, the experienced jockey and potential for improvement make this a speculative value selection.

Showing consistent improvement and gets weight relief. The quick backup is a slight concern, but the filly appears well-placed to continue her upward trajectory.

2Superfluous
Superfluous drops significantly in class and gets the services of top jockey William Pike. Has a strong first-up record which offsets the long break between runs. The top weight is a concern, but the class drop should compensate.
3rd pick4th
9Magical Sequence
Magical Sequence comes off a last-start win and is showing improvement with each run. The Good track suits, but she's unproven at the distance and faces a wide barrier. The class rise is a test, but her upward trajectory suggests she can be competitive.

1Art Session
With a perfect record at track and distance, and proven ability on good tracks, he looks well-placed to overcome the top weight. The wider draw is the main concern, but his class should see him overcome it.
2nd pick3rd
7Diamond Dancer
Diamond Dancer presents as a strong chance dropping back in class. Her consistent recent form, coupled with an advantageous inside draw and light weight, puts her in a prime position. The main query is her lack of experience at this track and distance, but the class drop should offset these concerns.
3rd pick5th
2The Top Bar
The Top Bar has a solid record and is well-drawn with a top jockey aboard. However, he faces challenges being first-up from a long spell and carrying top weight in a higher class. His consistency and ability on good tracks make him a place chance, but he may find a couple too good.
Value pick4th
8The Mighty Bell
The neutral barrier and light weight are positives, but her lack of experience at this level is a concern.
