1Wimoweh
Wimoweh brings the strongest recent form and consistency to this race. With 0 wins from 10 starts but a 30% place rate, she's knocking on the door for a breakthrough win. The heavy track is a query, but her adaptability across conditions is promising.
2nd pickWon
7Whiskey Tower
Whiskey Tower presents as an improving runner second-up from a spell. While yet to place in 7 starts, the mare's recent form suggests she's ready to make a leap. The lightweight and strong trainer/jockey combination are positives, and she should be suited by the likely strong tempo. The heavy track is a concern, but at the weights, she's a genuine chance.
3rd pick3rd
8Life Of Tree
The gelding has an advantageous inside barrier and carries a light weight, which could be crucial on the heavy track. However, he's yet to win in 12 starts and is unproven in heavy going. If he can translate his best form to these conditions, he's a genuine place chance.
