★ Top pickWon
12Via Flaminia

Our price $2.80 · SP $2.25 · Dylan Gibbons

Via Flaminia showed excellent debut form finishing third at Newcastle on Heavy 10, demonstrating clear heavy track ability. The Kris Lees-trained filly drops 1.5kg in weight and gets Dylan Gibbons' claim, making her well-placed despite the wide draw. Her proven heavy track performance gives her a significant edge over most rivals.

2nd pick9th
11The Magic Man

Our price $4.20 · SP $3.30 · Alysha Collett

The Magic Man brings strong metropolitan form to this provincial maiden, having run competitive seconds in better company. However, his lack of heavy track experience and inability to win despite multiple chances are concerns.

3rd pick6th
1Ridgeback

Our price $5.50 · SP $11.00 · Adam Hyeronimus

Ridgeback impressed on debut with a strong second at Kembla Grange on Heavy 9, showing clear wet track ability. The top weight and gap since last run are concerns, but his proven heavy track form makes him a genuine chance.

12Magenta Skies

Our price $2.80 · SP $2.60 · Tommy Berry

Tommy Berry's booking combined with gear changes (cross-over nose band, ear muffs) suggests this Michael Freedman-trained debutant is ready to fire first-up.

2nd pick9th
6Nielsen Park

Our price $6.00 · SP $12.00 · Ashley Morgan

The first-time blinkers and good barrier draw provide positives, but the long spell and lack of Heavy track experience create uncertainty. The natural speed and class drop make this an interesting proposition despite the risks.

3rd pickScratched
9Dundeel Flyer

Our price $5.00 · Tom Sherry

Dundeel Flyer shows strong improvement potential with consistent placings in both career starts. However, first-up from a long spell and wide barrier present challenges despite the promising form trend.

7Erina

Our price $4.50 · SP $8.50 · Dylan Gibbons

Erina presents as the standout selection with a perfect record on heavy tracks, having won her debut at this exact track and distance just 17 days ago. Her heavy track credentials (1 win from 1 start) are crucial in these conditions, and the significant class rise is offset by her dominant debut performance and proven suitability to the specific conditions.

2nd pickWon
1Bellenth

Our price $4.20 · SP $3.50 · Jay Ford

The combination of Jay Ford and trainer Ms K Waugh is positive, and his fresh record (0 wins from 2 starts first up but with a second and third) suggests he can perform well resuming.

3rd pick5th
9Smart Cry

Our price $12.00 · SP $15.00 · Jason Collett

Smart Cry presents excellent value with perfect heavy track credentials, having won her last start on Heavy 10 at Kembla Grange. The booking of Jason Collett is significant, and her heavy track specialization (1 win from 1 start) makes her a strong chance despite the class rise.

12Shanoni

Our price $2.80 · SP $1.95 · Jason Collett

Her heavy track form shows 0 wins from 1 start with a close second, indicating suitability to conditions. The Chris Waller stable booking Jason Collett suggests confidence, and the barrier draw allows tactical options. The class drop is the key factor here.

2nd pick5th
3Penalties

Our price $7.50 · SP $13.00 · Chad Lever

Penalties brings excellent heavy track credentials with a close second from one heavy track start. The inside barrier is crucial on the heavy surface, and recent form shows three seconds from five starts indicating consistency.

3rd pickScratched
1Golden Century

Our price $3.20 · Adam Hyeronimus

Golden Century drops dramatically in class from Group racing to maiden level, which is the primary appeal. However, the wide barrier draw is a significant concern on the heavy track, and the horse carries top weight. Recent form shows fitness with a third at Hawkesbury, but the maiden tag persists despite quality opposition faced.

Value pickScratched
11Sass
