11Into The Fire

Our price $3.50 · SP $4.80 · Shaun Guymer

Into The Fire presents as the standout selection with excellent recent form including a win at this track last start. His synthetic track record of 1 win from 5 starts is solid, and the barrier draw suits his racing pattern. The combination of current form, track familiarity, and proven ability on the surface makes him the top pick despite the weight concern.

5Aegipan

Our price $4.80 · SP $4.80 · Dale Cole

The gear changes and apprentice booking suggest connections are confident, while his recent 4th at Goulburn shows he's competitive at this level. The lack of synthetic experience is a concern, but his raw ability makes him a strong each-way proposition.

3rd pick2nd
6Beau Rock

Our price $6.00 · SP $3.90 · Billy Owen

Beau Rock brings consistent form and proven track ability to this contest. His recent placings show he's competitive at this level, and the inside barrier draw is ideal for his racing style. The synthetic track experience and class drop make him a solid each-way chance despite the weight burden.

2Goofinator

Our price $2.80 · SP $2.50 · Brock Ryan

His soft track record of 1 win from 7 starts gives confidence on today's synthetic surface. The wide barrier is a concern but his early speed should allow him to overcome it. Recent placings show he's in good form and ready to win.

2nd pick4th
7Steamed Hams

Our price $5.50 · SP $8.50 · Shaun Guymer

Her synthetic track experience and good barrier draw are major positives. However, her overall winning record is poor despite showing ability, making her a solid place chance but risky for the win.

3rd pick6th
8Black Bugatti

Our price $4.50 · SP $3.20 · Ms C Keatings

Black Bugatti brings strong recent form including two seconds, suggesting he's close to breaking through. The good barrier draw and distance experience are positives, but his inability to win in 13 starts and the significant class rise are concerns.

Value pick2nd
6Zouwase

Our price $5.00 · SP $8.00 · Billy Owen

His limited experience is both a positive (improvement potential) and negative (unknown quantity). The wide barrier is problematic but his recent form suggests he's ready to step up in class.
