★ Top pickWon
4Strasbeau
Strasbeau presents as the most likely winner with consistent recent form, including two runner-up finishes in his last three starts. Has proven ability at the track and distance, and carries a manageable weight. While yet to break through for a win, the gelding's recent performances suggest he's ready to peak.
2nd pick3rd
9Barbados Ninja
Barbados Ninja shows promise as a lightly raced filly with consistent form. A good barrier draw and weight relief enhance her chances. While yet to win and unproven at the track/distance, her potential for improvement and recent performances make her a solid place chance.
3rd pickScratched
2Battle Jack
Battle Jack adds blinkers for the first time which could spark improvement. While yet to place, the gear change and suitable conditions make him a genuine contender for the minor placings.
Value pick2nd

★ Top pickWon
5Thinkingnintynine
The drop in class is significant and should see this horse very competitive. The slight weight increase is offset by the class drop.
2nd pick6th
1Ambitious Creek
Ambitious Creek brings solid credentials with consistent placings and a proven ability at similar distances. The weight relief from the last start is beneficial, and the horse excels on Good tracks. However, the wide barrier and top weight present challenges. The poor win strike rate is a concern, but the overall form suggests a strong place chance.
3rd pick2nd
8Les Vosges
Les Vosges enters with recent winning form and a favorable lightweight. The good barrier draw is advantageous, and as a lightly raced runner, there's potential for further improvement. However, the step up in distance and class present challenges. The horse's inexperience at this level adds an element of uncertainty but also potential upside.
Value pick3rd
4Namadji
The distance appears suitable based on recent runs. The unproven track record adds risk but also potential for improvement.

Well-weighted and likely to lead, he's ideally positioned to capitalize on the expected race tempo. The slight class rise is offset by his strong form and suitability to the conditions.
2nd pick6th
1I''m Kenny
I'm Kenny boasts an impressive track record and consistent recent form. His familiarity with the track and distance is a significant advantage. While carrying top weight, he's likely to settle on-pace and benefit from the expected race tempo. Solid chance but faces stiff competition from the top pick.
3rd pick5th
3Augusta Rock
Augusta Rock comes into this race with improving form, including a win last start. Well-weighted and with a good overall record, he's likely to settle midfield and finish strongly. The main concern is whether he'll be able to overcome the on-pace bias of the track.
