Cool Conway is an intriguing prospect as a first starter. While lacking race experience, trainer J E McConachy has a solid record with debutants. The addition of visors for the first time could help sharpen the horse's focus. A good barrier draw (2) should allow for a positive position in running.
Dawn Embers shows consistent form with 2 placings in his last 3 starts. While yet to win, he has a good record on soft tracks with 4 placings from 7 starts. The gelding is race fit, having run 8 days ago, and carries a manageable 58kg. His recent performances suggest he's knocking on the door for a breakthrough win.
The filly has a good first-up record and consistent form before her spell. While the 130-day break is a concern, her fresh record suggests she can run well.

Torque Enterprises Hcp (60)
Flying Animo presents as the top selection with an impressive career start of 2 wins from 2 runs. While facing a class rise, the overall form and conditions suit, making it a confident top pick.
Woodstock Rock shows promise as a consistent performer with a strong place record. While first-up from a spell, the gelding has a favorable barrier draw and soft track experience. The class rise and long break are concerns, but overall form suggests a strong chance for a top-three finish.
Querida comes off a strong last-start win and is dropping in class, which bodes well. The filly has soft track experience, though without a win. First-up form and the wide barrier are concerns, but overall recent performance and class drop make her a solid contender for a top-three finish.
With a win on soft tracks and a strong first-up record, the mare has potential despite the long break.

Penske Mackay (Bm75)
Fortress Australia brings the strongest recent form into this race, with 3 wins from his last 5 starts including a victory last start. The weight advantage and consistent performances make him the top pick despite the class rise.
Amicus Curiae brings a wealth of experience and a particularly strong soft track record to this race. While carrying top weight, his consistency and advantageous barrier draw make him a serious contender. His recent form, while not spectacular, shows he's still competitive at this level.
Capo Strada has been knocking on the door with consistent placings in recent starts. The advantageous barrier draw and gear change could see him break through here. However, his soft track record is a concern, and the class drop suggests he may be more comfortable at this level.
His recent win and strong record at Mackay are positives, as is the class drop. While his soft track record isn't outstanding, he has shown he can handle these conditions.
