Benefitsofmine brings a strong winning profile and excellent soft track form. While carrying top weight, the gelding has shown the ability to handle it.
The gelding should be suited by the expected fast tempo. However, a lower win rate and less proven soft track form place him slightly behind our top two selections. Still a strong contender in an open race.
The filly carries a light weight and has significant room for improvement. A speculative but interesting proposition in this field.

Miss Leana stands out with consistent form, including a recent second place. She has soft track experience and a suitable weight. Her midfield running style should suit the likely fast tempo. While yet to win, her consistency and proven ability at the distance make her the top selection.
Wax On Wax Off has shown strong recent form with a close third last start. As a likely leader, he should benefit from the inside draw and set the pace.
Ready For Zion is a soft track specialist dropping in class, which is a significant advantage. She has a good barrier and consistent form. While unplaced last start, the class drop and return to a soft track should suit. The slight weight rise and gap between runs are minor concerns.
The inside barrier is advantageous. While yet to place, her consistent performances and the likely fast tempo could see her improve. The slight distance increase is a minor concern.

Gordon''s Gin (Bm65)
Araletta presents as the top selection with consistent form and a strong jockey booking. The mare has shown ability on soft tracks and is well weighted for this class rise. While first-up from a spell, her recent trial suggests she's ready to fire. The inside draw is the main concern, but her tactical versatility should overcome this.
Machine Head enters this race in good form, coming off a last-start win. He has proven ability on soft tracks and draws well in barrier 7. The slight class rise and increase in weight are concerns, but his consistency and recent form make him a solid contender. His early speed should put him in a good position.
Deep Tiara comes off a strong maiden win and looks ready for this step up in class. The mare is lightly raced but improving rapidly, and her soft track form is encouraging. The wide barrier is a concern, but she has shown early speed which should help overcome this. With a light weight and room for improvement, she's a genuine threat.
She has a consistent place record and performs well when fresh. The addition of blinkers and a tongue tie could spark improvement.
