The gear change could be the final piece of the puzzle. Well-weighted and should be suited by the likely fast tempo.

Avis Carnarvon/Exmouth Mdn
Westriver Dynique is the unknown quantity in the race. Lightly raced and fresh, she carries a light weight and has drawn well. Could improve sharply on her only start and looks a genuine threat.
Scary Mary has been consistent without winning and gets her chance here from a good draw. The class drop is significant and she should be fresh after a break.
Her recent form is strong, including a close second two starts back. The addition of winkers could sharpen her up.

TABtouch Carnarvon Cup 13th September (Bm56+)
Despite a slightly awkward barrier, the weight relief and proven class edge make him the top selection. His consistency and ability to perform fresh give confidence in his winning chances.
The inside barrier draw is advantageous, but the top weight is a concern. Still, his consistency makes him a solid chance to place or win if the top pick falters.
The class drop and consistent recent form suggest he can be competitive.

Northern Aspect Construction (Bm56+)
Kings Sicario brings strong consistent form into this race, with a win and two placings from his last three starts. Well-weighted dropping 4kg and likely to lead, he should get every chance from an on-pace position. His strong record at the distance is a significant positive.
His consistent recent form and strong overall record are positives. While carrying top weight is a concern, his ability to race on-pace should give him every chance. The step up to 1600m looks ideal.
Traded Crown brings consistent recent form into this race with three placings from his last four starts. He has a good record at Carnarvon without winning and is well-weighted. The inside draw is a positive, but the step up to 1600m is a query. Overall, he looks a solid place chance.
Awesome Lily presents as a value option with improving form, including a win two starts back. The significant weight advantage and strong jockey booking are positives.

Stu Maver Memorial Sprint (Bm68+)
Prince Ragnar brings strong credentials with consistent form and a proven track/distance record. Well-weighted and likely to lead, he's well-positioned to control the race from the front. The slight class rise is offset by his consistency and tactical advantage.
Cheeky Charlotte is on an upward trajectory with improving form and a significant weight advantage. Her good track record and suitability to the likely fast pace make her a strong contender, though the class rise presents a challenge.
Oscar Charlie offers consistency with strong recent placings and is well-weighted for this race. The Good track condition suits, and the strong jockey booking is a positive. However, the class rise and less proven track record at Carnarvon are slight concerns.
With improving form and a strong track record, he's well-weighted for this race.

Peter Evans Memorial (Bm68+)
Crystal Vain stands out as the top selection with a strong win rate, consistent form, and proven class. Despite carrying top weight, the horse's track record at Carnarvon and weight-for-age advantage make it a formidable contender. The wide barrier is a concern, but the horse's class should overcome this challenge.
Divine Mercy shows improving form and has a significant weight advantage. However, the rise in class and low track condition suitability are factors to consider. Overall, a solid chance to place or win.
Jiddo comes off a recent win and shows an improving form trend. The lightweight and suitable distance are positives, but the wide barrier and slight class rise present challenges. The horse's recent performances suggest it could be competitive in this field, making it a solid place chance.
The horse's recent win and consistent performances, coupled with a good barrier draw, make it an interesting prospect.

Thanks Volunteers & Staff (Bm56+)
Despite the top weight and wide barrier, his consistent form and strong finishing ability make him the top pick. The horse has shown adaptability to various track conditions and distances.
Westcoast Express has a advantageous barrier draw and shows improving form. The gear change to visors for the first time could sharpen his focus. While rising in class is a concern, his recent performances suggest he's capable of handling the step up.
Pull The Trigger has shown consistency in recent starts and performs well at this distance. His midfield running style should suit the predicted race tempo. While facing a slight class rise, his solid record at 1400m and recent form make him a strong contender for a place finish.
Despite a low overall win rate, recent performances show improvement, particularly at this track and distance. The good barrier draw and potential for further progress make him an interesting longshot option in this field.
