★ Top pickWon
2Weigall Tiger
The significant class drop from last start is a major positive, and the good barrier draw should allow for an ideal run. While the 1350m distance is a slight query, overall form suggests he's well-placed to win.
2nd pick5th
5Redzoust
The weight and barrier draw are favorable, though he faces a slight class rise. While lacking the win strike rate of the top two selections, his consistency makes him a solid place chance and potential upset winner.
3rd pickScratched
3Tonneofgrit
Tonneofgrit is a consistent performer dropping significantly in class, which should see him very competitive. The inside barrier and weight allocation are positives, though he lacks the winning strike rate of the top selection. His experience at Doomben is a plus, and he should be right in the finish.

4Moana Gold
The filly is well-weighted and drawn, and should get an ideal run midfield. While yet to win, her improving pattern suggests she's ready to break through in this company. The step up to 1200m looks ideal based on her finishing efforts.
2nd pickWon
2Deep Tiara
Well-drawn for her likely front-running style, she has valuable experience at Doomben and over this trip. While yet to win, her form suggests she's knocking on the door. The main query is whether she can sustain her run if pressured early.
3rd pick3rd

Kurithea is the unknown quantity in the field, which presents both opportunity and risk. Well-weighted for her debut and drawn to get a good run, she comes from a stable known for having their horses ready to fire first-up.
