The Right Way presents as the standout selection with excellent recent form including two wins from his last three starts. Crucially proven at Doomben over 2020m and the inside barrier provides a significant tactical advantage. His soft track record of 3 wins from 11 starts gives confidence on today's Good 4 surface, and the staying form pattern suits this distance perfectly.
Soul Of Spain brings strong credentials being second up from a spell after an impressive last start win. The Chris Waller stable is in excellent form and the minimum weight provides a significant advantage.
Just Flying brings excellent credentials with a last start win and perfect Doomben record. However, the step up to 2020m for the first time is a significant query, and the class rise adds another layer of difficulty in what appears a competitive Open grade.
The blinkers off first time gear change could spark improvement, and he has proven ability at Open level with Group placings.

Sunrays stands out with her perfect Doomben record and proven first-up ability. Her soft track dominance with 3 wins from 3 starts perfectly suits today's conditions. While the wide barrier and top weight present challenges, her track specialization and class edge make her the standout selection despite the significant step up in grade.
Impervious brings excellent current form with her recent Eagle Farm Open win and the crucial inside barrier advantage. Her soft track record is solid, and she's proven at this class level. The distance rise is manageable for this consistent performer who should appreciate Doomben's on-pace bias from the perfect draw.
Seveer's last-start victory at this exact track and distance is compelling, especially with the inside barrier draw. However, the enormous jump from maiden to Open grade presents a significant challenge for this lightly-raced gelding against seasoned performers.

Her soft track form of 1 win from 6 starts is solid, and the light weight provides a crucial edge. Despite the wide barrier being concerning at Doomben's tight 1350m, her superior speed and class advantage make her the standout selection.
Shelstein's first up record of 2 wins from 3 starts makes him a serious threat fresh. His last start Class 2 win was impressive, and barrier 5 is perfect for Doomben's 1350m where inside draws are crucial.
Boom Shot brings consistent recent form and the crucial inside barrier 3 draw at Doomben's tight 1350m. The Spirit Of Boom gelding is well-placed with the inside draw despite his moderate soft track record.

u&u Recruitment (Bm90)
His consistent performances and proven class ability make him the standout despite the challenging inside barrier. The step up in class is offset by his quality form line and strong connections.
