Il Cielo is a consistent performer with a strong record at the distance. The gelding's on-pace running style and experienced jockey are positives. While yet to win, the consistent placings suggest it's capable of figuring in the finish. The top weight is a slight concern but offset by its consistency.
Affaire Vue comes off a strong last-start second and drops significantly in class. However, the overall record is inconsistent, and the distance is a query. The gear changes add an element of uncertainty but could potentially lead to improvement.
The gelding showed ability with a second placing two starts back and has potential for improvement second-up. The limited race experience is a concern but also leaves room for improvement.

Mrs Harris stands out with her consistent form, including a close second last start over this distance. As a filly, she gets a weight advantage and has shown steady improvement. Her ability to perform at this distance and consistent placings make her the top selection.
Alpine Honey showed promise on debut and looks well-placed to lead from the inside barrier. The step up in distance is a query, but as a lightly-raced gelding, there's potential for significant improvement. The combination of early speed and an inside draw makes him a strong contender.
The likely solid tempo should suit his running style, and the experienced Dean Yendall in the saddle is a plus. While yet to win, his form suggests he's ready to break through.

Mildura Motor Holdings (Bm64)
Dobbinair presents as the top selection with strong recent form, including a close 3rd last start. The drop in class is significant, and as a likely leader, he should control the race from the front. His affinity for good tracks is a plus, though the top weight is a slight concern. Overall, he appears well-placed to secure victory.
Stokomo shows consistent form and the addition of blinkers for the first time could spark improvement. The weight advantage is significant, and he should get a good run from midfield. The class rise is a concern, but his recent form suggests he's up to the task. A strong chance to finish in the placings.
Jet Jitsu boasts an impressive track and distance record, making him a strong contender. His consistent form and likely front-running position from a good barrier draw are positives. The top weight is a concern, but his proven ability at this track and distance outweighs this. Expect a bold showing from the front.
Millvina presents as an intriguing value proposition. The class rise is a concern, but as a lightly-raced mare, there's potential for improvement.

AJ & JJ Dunne Memorial (Bm70)
Zambezi Khan presents as the top selection, dropping significantly in class from recent Open company races. The horse has shown consistent form with a close 2nd last start over 1400m, suggesting fitness won't be an issue stepping up to 2000m.

Oxford Blue is dropping in class and has positive gear changes with blinkers and a tongue tie added. The gelding has shown consistent form and is well-weighted at 58kg. While unproven at the track and with recent form slightly below the top two picks, the class drop and gear changes make him a solid third choice.
The experienced jockey Matt Chadwick is a positive, but the top weight and wide barrier are concerns.
