Jonny Da Wolf stands out as the top selection with proven soft track ability and consistent form. The advantageous inside barrier and suitable weight for soft conditions are significant positives. While carrying top weight in a slight class rise, his overall profile and soft track record make him the most likely winner.
End Assembly presents as a solid second choice with consistent form and recent strong performance. His soft track experience and proven ability at the distance are advantageous. While dropping in class raises some questions, his overall profile suggests he's well-placed to perform strongly in this race.
The significant class drop and light weight are advantageous. However, lack of soft track experience is a concern. If able to handle the softer going, could outperform expectations.
While unproven on soft tracks, the mare's overall profile suggests potential to outperform expectations. The wide barrier and class rise are concerns, but the value proposition is compelling for each-way consideration.

Second-up here with a good record in that pattern, and dropping in class.
Nettuno brings consistent recent form and a good barrier draw to this race. The class drop and competitive weight are positives. However, a low overall win rate and poor soft track record temper enthusiasm.
Metalart brings exceptional form and a stellar soft track record to this race. With 8 wins from 14 starts overall and 5 from 6 on soft going, he's well-suited to conditions.

Mister Bianco brings top-class form and a strong affinity for soft tracks. The horse's ability to handle the conditions and class level is evident from recent runs.
However, the first-up status and lack of wins when fresh introduce some uncertainty. The lighter weight and soft track experience are positives against the top pick.
Facundo shows promising form with a strong win and place record. The light weight is advantageous, but the class rise and limited soft track experience introduce some risk. Recent performances suggest potential for improvement, making him a solid third pick.
Despite the wide barrier and class rise, the horse's recent form and soft track performance are encouraging.
