2nd pick3rd
3Rothfury

2nd pick2nd
2Blazerro
Blazerro drops significantly in class here and should appreciate the easier company. As a likely leader in a race with a fast predicted tempo, he could prove hard to run down if able to dictate terms. The return to blinkers and addition of other gear changes suggest connections are looking to spark improvement. Main concern is the top weight.
3rd pick6th
10Me Time
Me Time brings solid recent form into this race and boasts an impressive record at the Mackay track. While untested at this exact distance, her running style suggests she should appreciate the step up in trip. The predicted fast tempo should allow her to settle midfield and finish strongly. Main concerns are the wide barrier and slight class rise.
Value pick3rd

3Kings Castle
Kings Castle brings solid recent form into this race, with consistent placings in his last five starts. He's proven at the track and distance, and is well-weighted with 59.5kg.

10Caracristi
Caracristi is an interesting prospect, dropping significantly in class and carrying a light weight of 54kg. Drawn perfectly in barrier 1, she should get an economical run.

The good track condition should suit, and her light weight gives her a chance to see out the trip.
Value pick7th
