Nine Ball shows promising form with consistent placings in her last two starts. The 56kg weight is favorable, and despite the wide barrier, her running style should allow her to overcome this. Limited experience is a concern, but her upward trajectory makes her the top pick.
Playing Free is showing improving form with a recent 3rd place finish. The soft track record is promising, and the lightweight of 55.5kg is advantageous. Drawn well in barrier 2, which should suit the conditions. While yet to win and unproven at the distance, the improving trajectory and weight advantage make this horse a strong contender.
Authorative brings consistency to the race with recent placings and experience over the distance. While yet to win, the soft track record shows ability in these conditions. The 58kg top weight is a concern, but the strong jockey booking of Brayden Gaerth is a positive. Barrier 7 may require some tactical riding, but overall, this horse presents as a solid each-way chance.
The improving form and soft track experience are positives, as is the 56kg weight. The wide barrier is a significant concern, but the booking of experienced jockey Steven Parnham could mitigate this. While yet to win, the recent 4th place finish suggests potential for improvement.

The combination of proven class performance and strong jockey booking outweighs the weight and barrier concerns.
