Sportsbet Fast Form (Bm70)
Dreams Come True presents as the top selection with strong recent form, including a win and second place in her last two starts. The mare carries a lightweight of 55.5kg and has drawn favorably in barrier 6. While stepping up in class, her consistent performances and the booking of Craig Williams suggest she's ready for the challenge. The soft track should suit based on her previous performances.
Magarten offers solid value as a consistent performer with a strong record at the distance. With 3 wins and 4 placings from 12 starts over 1600m, he's a specialist at this trip. His soft track form is encouraging, and he's well-weighted with 57.5kg. The wider barrier is a concern, but his ability to perform consistently makes him a strong each-way prospect.
Shoeless has been showing improving form with recent placings and boasts a strong record at the 1600m distance. Carrying only 57.5kg and drawing barrier 9, he's well-positioned for a good run. The class rise is a challenge, but his lightweight and consistent performances suggest he could be competitive. The main concern is his questionable soft track form.
