Ninja appears well-placed to lead from barrier 3 and looks primed for a strong debut. The Freedman/Adkins combination is potent, and gear changes suggest readiness.
Grand Prairie brings strong form and soft track credentials. The advantageous barrier and class drop are positives, but the long break is a concern. Snowden's training ability and Tom Sherry's booking inspire confidence. Likely to settle midfield and finish strongly.
The wide barrier is a concern, but Joshua Parr's experience could mitigate this. The step up in class is challenging, but the soft track should play to its strengths.
The long break is a concern, but Zac Lloyd's booking and the good barrier are positives. While unproven on soft tracks, its class could shine through.

Custom brings solid form credentials, having placed twice from four starts including a third at this track and distance. The main concerns are the long break since her last run and lack of soft track experience.
I Am Gone looks well-placed to make a winning debut. The advantageous barrier and likely midfield position in a fast-paced race should suit. Trainer Michael Freedman's strong form and the addition of ear muffs suggest this filly is ready to perform.
Charka has shown promise in her two starts to date, both resulting in third-place finishes. The fast-paced race should suit her running style, though the wide barrier is a slight concern. Improvement is likely third-up.
The advantageous barrier and addition of a cross-over nose band could spark a form turnaround.

Traffic Warden @ Darley (Bm72)
The class drop from last start's win is significant, and the inside barrier draw should allow for an ideal run. While carrying top weight, the mare's strong form and suitability to conditions outweigh this concern.
Bella Corazon comes off a strong win and has a good second-up record. The filly's lightweight and consistent form make her a strong contender, although she faces a class rise and is untested at this distance.
Her proven ability on soft tracks is a significant advantage, and the experienced jockey is a plus. While carrying top weight and drawn wider than ideal, her overall form and suitability to conditions make her a solid contender.
The lightweight and favorable barrier draw are advantages, although she faces a class rise and is untested at the distance. Her soft track form is less proven than some rivals, but the overall package presents value.
