6Hidden Melody

Our price $3.50 · SP $2.70 · S Champkin

Hidden Melody presents as the top selection with consistent form, a significant weight advantage, and a strong record at the track and distance.

2nd pickWon

1The Fixer

Our price $3.30 · SP $3.80 · Michael Hellyer

The Fixer brings a class edge to this field and boasts an impressive first-up record. As the likely leader, he should have every chance to control the race from the front.

3rd pickScratched

3Pungo

Our price $4.50 · Anthony Allen

10Sanctuary Storm

Our price $2.80 · SP $2.50 · Michael Hellyer

Better Draw comes off a strong maiden win over the same distance and looks well-placed to continue improving. The good barrier draw and weight relief as a 3YO are significant advantages.

3rd pick3rd

1All About Artie

Our price $4.50 · SP $7.00 · Cobi Vitler

All About Artie brings solid consistency and higher class experience to this race. While yet to break through beyond maiden grade, the horse has been competitive in stronger company. The good weight-for-age scenario and versatile racing style are positives, but the wide barrier and unproven stamina at 1800m introduce some uncertainty.
