The filly has placed in 2 of 4 starts and drops in weight to 56.5kg. While yet to win, her soft track form and strong recent run suggest she's ready to break through. The wide barrier is less concerning at Eagle Farm, and her tactical speed should allow her to find a good position.
While inexperienced, he's trained by Michael Freedman and ridden by Kyle Wilson-Taylor, a strong combination. First-up from a spell, he's likely to have improved. The 1000m trip suits, but soft track form is untested. His potential and connections make him a strong contender.
Miss Force impressed on debut, finishing a close second. She carries just 52kg and has proven soft track ability. The addition of winkers could sharpen her up. The midfield barrier draw is less of a concern at Eagle Farm.
Dropping in class and with soft track experience, she could surprise. The midfield barrier is less impactful at Eagle Farm.
