Chinqui presents as the top selection with a strong win rate and excellent soft track record. Recent form is consistent, and the soft track should suit perfectly. While facing a slight class rise, Chinqui's overall profile suggests he's well-equipped to handle it.
Verdoux shows promise with an unblemished place record and first-up win. The gelding carries a light weight which is advantageous on soft going. While facing a class rise, the consistent form and weight relief make Verdoux a strong contender. The gear change removes blinkers, which could sharpen focus but introduces an element of uncertainty.
Pop Award boasts an impressive win rate and has proven ability when fresh. The mare carries a light weight which is beneficial on soft ground. However, she faces a significant class rise and has limited experience on soft tracks. The long spell introduces some uncertainty, but her overall profile suggests she could be competitive in this field.
With a strong record on soft tracks and proven first-up ability, the gelding has potential to outperform expectations. While facing a class rise and coming off a spell, his soft track prowess and consistent form make him an intriguing value proposition in this field.

Jimmy The Bear brings the strongest recent form into this race, with 3 wins from his last 5 starts including a last-start victory. While drawn slightly wider than the top weight, he should have no issues settling forward and looks the one to beat.

Pounding is a consistent performer who should be well-suited by the conditions. While his win strike rate is lower than Jimmy The Bear, he has a strong place record and will be advantaged by the inside draw. His soft track form is solid and he brings strong weight-for-age credentials to this race.
First Day faces a significant class rise but brings strong recent form and an excellent soft track record to this race. While the step up in class is a concern, her soft track ability and recent form make her an intriguing value proposition.

Stop The Rock brings excellent form and a perfect soft track record. Well-weighted and drawn favorably, this runner looks primed for another strong showing.
American Wolf has shown strong form at the distance and carries weight well. The wide barrier is a concern, but Blake Shinn's experience could mitigate this.
Ant brings strong recent form and has shown ability on soft tracks. However, the class rise and untested stamina at 2400m introduce some uncertainty. Still, the overall profile suggests a competitive run.
The light weight is advantageous, and there's potential for improvement at the longer trip.

Savagery Vibe presents as a strong contender with consistent form and proven soft track ability. The filly's recent performances show improvement, and the advantageous barrier draw should allow Craig Williams to position her ideally. While facing a class rise, her progressive profile suggests she's ready for the challenge.
Shadhavar comes into this race with a strong first-up record and consistent form. The filly's advantageous barrier draw and the presence of John Allen in the saddle are positives. However, she's yet to prove herself on soft tracks and faces a significant class rise, which tempers confidence slightly.
Manolo Bling brings proven class and a strong track record to this race. With a soft track win under her belt and consistent recent form, she's a serious contender. The main concerns are the top weight she'll carry and the wider barrier draw, which may require some tactical riding from Luke Cartwright.
With strong consistent form and proven soft track ability, this lightly-raced filly has potential to outperform expectations. The light weight is a significant advantage, and Jye McNeil's riding skills could overcome the slightly disadvantageous barrier draw. The class rise is a concern, but her progressive profile suggests she could be up to the task.
