7Supid Date

Our price $6.00 · SP $3.70 · Sean Cormack

3Turbeau

Our price $2.20 · SP $2.40 · Ryan Wiggins

Turbeau presents as the standout selection with excellent recent form including a close second at higher grade last start. His track record at Cairns is solid and he's shown consistent form over the distance. The class drop combined with his proven ability on Good 4 tracks makes him the logical choice despite carrying top weight.

2nd pick4th
7Almighty Jab

Our price $3.50 · SP $4.60 · Nathan Thomas

Almighty Jab brings strong winning form and excellent track knowledge to this assignment. His 3 wins from 5 starts at Cairns is impressive, and the lightweight conditions suit. However, the significant class rise from recent wins presents the main concern for this promising galloper.

3rd pick3rd
2Early Fusion

Our price $4.50 · SP $5.50 · McKenzie Apel

Early Fusion's impressive winning record and Good track form make him a genuine contender despite the poor last start. His 7 wins from 13 starts on Good tracks is excellent, and the class rise may suit this progressive type. The distance and track debut present minor concerns.

2nd pickWon
4Swatow

Our price $3.80 · SP $2.80 · Sean Cormack

Swatow offers strong value with excellent recent form including a close second at last start. His previous win at this track demonstrates local knowledge, while the lightweight of 54.5kg and improving form trend make him a serious threat. The lack of Good track wins is a concern but recent form suggests he's ready to break through.

3rd pick4th
2Cole''s Best

Our price $4.20 · SP $5.00 · Ryan Wiggins

Cole's Best brings solid credentials with a recent Open win at Mackay and reasonable Good track form. His first-up statistics are impressive if considered fresh, and the competitive weight gives him a chance. However, inconsistent recent form and the outside barrier present challenges in this stronger field.

Value pick7th

3Hartshorn

Our price $2.80 · SP $2.70 · McKenzie Apel

Hartshorn presents as the standout selection with an outstanding record at this specific track and distance. His 2 wins from 8 starts at Cairns 950m is exceptional, and his recent 2nd placing here shows he's in peak form. The Good 4 track conditions suit perfectly, and his proven ability at this level makes him the logical choice to win.

2nd pick6th
12Bella Bianca

Our price $6.50 · SP $7.00 · Ty Wheeler

Bella Bianca offers strong each-way value with her inside barrier draw and light weight providing significant advantages. Her recent form including a win at Atherton and 3rd here last start shows she's competitive at this level. The barrier 1 draw is crucial in what shapes as a fast-tempo race.

3rd pick7th
7Yamabushi

Our price $7.50 · SP $9.00 · Sean Cormack

Yamabushi returns from a lengthy spell but has shown ability first-up previously. The long break is a concern but his class and first-up record provide confidence.

Value pick3rd

8Smart Legend

Our price $4.00 · SP $3.30 · Sean Cormack

Smart Legend brings excellent current form having won 2 starts ago and placed last start. His good track record is strong with 5 wins from 17 starts, and he's proven at staying distances. The favorable barrier draw and weight allocation enhance his chances. While facing a class rise, his current form momentum and track suitability make him a strong each-way proposition.

7Sir Grace

Our price $5.00 · SP $4.40 · Nathan Thomas

Sir Grace brings an impressive overall record with 41% win rate and excellent soft track credentials (4 wins from 9 starts). His recent consistency with back-to-back seconds shows he's in good form. The significant class rise to Open company is concerning, but his natural ability and soft track expertise keep him competitive as a place chance.

3rd pickScratched
15Perovic

Our price $6.00

His soft track record is excellent with 4 wins from 13 starts, and he's proven at Cairns with 3 wins from 5 starts.

Despite the wide barrier, his recent form and track/condition suitability make him the top selection.

Value pick8th
13Stadium Of Light

Our price $7.00 · SP $16.00 · Chris Meehan

Stadium Of Light offers value based on his excellent Cairns track record (4 wins from 11 starts) and recent winning form. His soft track credentials are solid, and the favorable barrier draw with minimum weight enhances his chances. The major concern is the significant distance rise to 2100m with no previous experience at the trip, but his track expertise and current form make him worth a value play.
