Muktamil presents as the top selection with consistent form, a strong affinity for soft tracks, and a significant weight advantage. While untested at 2800m, his performances up to 2540m suggest he'll handle the trip. The class rise is offset by his weight relief and current form.
Mormona is a strong second pick with proven stamina and soft track ability. His recent form is solid, and he's a consistent performer in these conditions. The inside draw may require some tactical riding, but his overall profile suggests he'll be very competitive.
Bold Soul is showing improving form and has a good record on soft tracks. While he's yet to win beyond 2000m, his last start second over 2600m suggests he's ready for this trip. The weight and barrier draw are favorable, making him a solid third choice.
His consistent recent form, including a last start third over 2600m, suggests he's ready for this trip. The lightweight and good barrier draw are positives, and his soft track record is encouraging. While stepping up in class, he represents good each-way value.

Sayedaty Sadaty brings strong consistent form into this race, including a win last start over 2000m on soft ground. Well-weighted and proven in these conditions, the gelding should get a perfect run midfield and be suited by the likely fast tempo. Represents the best combination of form and value in the field.
Casino Seventeen has a strong record on soft tracks and consistent recent form. Likely to lead from barrier 8, which suits his front-running style. The class drop is a significant positive, though he does carry top weight. Should give a good sight and has place claims at the very least.
Nellie Leylax boasts an impressive soft track record and is in improving form. The light weight and likely fast tempo should suit, but the wide barrier and class rise present challenges.
Flash Feeling comes into this race with strong recent form, including a win last start. Has a good record on soft tracks and carries a light weight.

Losesomewinmore presents as the top selection with strong soft track form, consistent recent performances, and a favorable weight. As a likely leader, the horse is well-positioned to control the race from the front. Despite a wide barrier, its early speed should allow it to overcome this disadvantage.
Beast Mode is a strong contender with a solid overall record and good soft track form. As another likely leader, it could challenge Losesomewinmore for the front. The main concern is the top weight, but the class drop partially offsets this. Its consistency and ability to handle the conditions make it a solid second pick.
Hajra stands out as a soft track specialist with an excellent record in these conditions. The lightweight and engagement of top jockey Jamie Kah are significant positives. While facing a class rise and with limited experience at this distance, Hajra's soft track prowess makes it a strong contender.
With a strong win rate and consistent recent form, this horse has the potential to outperform expectations. While facing a class rise and drawn wide, the well-weighted conditions and potential for improvement make it an attractive value proposition.
