Country Music Raceday 6 September Plate (C1)
Miss Funny Honey impressed on debut with a narrow victory showing determination. As a lightly raced 3yo, she has scope for improvement and handled soft conditions well. The class rise is significant but her debut performance suggests she has the ability to compete at this level.
Divine Source brings strong soft track form and an improving profile. The class rise is manageable given her recent form progression and track conditions suit.
Vivika represents the standout selection dropping significantly in class from Open company. Her consistent form including a recent win and strong placing at Doomben gives her clear class advantage over this field. The Thompson/Dunn combination is proven and the barrier draw allows tactical options.
Rag Queen offers value as a former Group performer dropping dramatically in class. Her first-up record is solid and the gear changes suggest connections expect improvement. The long spell is concerning but the class drop and first-up ability make her a speculative value play.

XXXX Gold (Bm65)
Air We Go presents as the standout selection with a perfect first-up record and strong soft track credentials. The addition of blinkers first time should enhance focus, while his recent form shows consistent improvement. Despite the class rise, his natural ability and favorable conditions make him the top winning chance.
Lucifer's Way brings excellent recent form with two consecutive wins and the strong Vandyke/Maloney combination. While the wide barrier and class rise present challenges, his finishing ability and upside make him a serious winning threat if he can overcome the draw.

Jonny Da Wolf presents as the standout selection with strong recent form including a close 2nd at Doomben in similar class. His soft track record is excellent and he's proven at the distance. The Ryan Maloney booking and favorable barrier position enhance his chances significantly.
Acapulco Girl brings an impressive 100% place record and recent winning form. Her soft track credentials are solid and the light weight of 56.5kg provides a significant advantage. The class rise is concerning but her upside potential makes her a strong each-way proposition.
Rock The Sunrise offers excellent value with a perfect soft track record and strong second-up statistics.
The significant class drop and recent form improvement make him a worthwhile value play despite limited soft track experience.
