3Too Many Kisses

Our price $2.20 · SP $1.45 · Justin Huxtable

While yet to win, the mare has been knocking on the door with consistent placings. The good barrier and strong jockey booking further enhance her chances. The main query is the second-up performance, but overall form suggests she's ready to break through.

2nd pick2nd
2Geraldine''s Wish

Our price $4.00 · SP $5.50 · Krysten Swaffer

Geraldine''s Wish is a consistent performer who often finds one better. Her good track record and experience at the distance are positives. While she's yet to win, her consistent placing suggests she's always in the mix. The main concern is whether she can finally break through for a win carrying 58kg.

3rd pick7th
8Starmeira

Our price $5.00 · SP $5.50 · Ashley Butler

The mare's soft track experience could be valuable if conditions deteriorate. While yet to place in 9 starts, her recent performances suggest she's on an upward trajectory. The lightweight and potential for further improvement make her a contender, albeit with some risk.

Value pick3rd
6Supeedo Gonzales

Our price $6.00 · SP $10.00 · McKenzie Apel

Supeedo Gonzales presents as a value option, returning from a spell with the potential for improvement. The addition of blinkers and a lightweight could spark a form turnaround.

3Sand ''n'' Power

Our price $2.80 · SP $3.20 · McKenzie Apel

Sand ''n'' Power presents as the top selection with an improving form line and significant class drop. The gelding's strong second-up record (0 wins from 2 starts) suggests further improvement. Well-weighted and likely to be suited by the predicted fast tempo, though unproven at this track and distance.

2nd pickWon
4Superstitions

Our price $4.50 · SP $4.80 · Nathan Thomas

Superstitions shows consistent recent form and is a proven performer at this track and distance. Well-weighted and likely to be suited by the race tempo, but faces a slight class rise. The wide barrier is a concern, as is the lack of heavy track form if conditions deteriorate.

3rd pick2nd
1Indefinite

Our price $4.00 · SP $3.40 · Ashley Butler

Indefinite benefits from a significant class drop and has a strong first-up record (0 wins from 3 starts). Well-drawn and likely to lead, which could be advantageous if the track favors on-pace runners. However, the top weight and lack of track experience are concerns, especially if the track is rain-affected.

Value pick4th
10Gazza''s Diamond

Our price $10.00 · SP $12.00 · Jason Taylor

Well-weighted and partnered with an experienced jockey, but unproven in heavy conditions if the track deteriorates. The shorter trip is a slight concern given recent racing over further.

8John Joseph

Our price $5.50 · SP $5.50 · L Morrison

John Joseph is a solid second pick with consistent recent form, including 2 seconds from his last 5 starts.
