Headstrong presents as the most likely winner with a solid third placing last start on a heavy track. The gelding drops 1.5kg in weight and draws favorably in barrier 2. While unproven at Lismore, the soft track should suit based on previous wet track form. Expect further improvement third-up from a spell.
First-up from a spell and with an experienced jockey aboard, there's room for improvement. However, the poor win record and lack of soft track form are concerns.

Chilled With Ice presents as the most likely winner with strong recent form, including two wins from his last three starts. Unbeaten on soft tracks and well-weighted at 56kg, this improving 4yo gelding looks well-placed to handle the class rise. The wide barrier is a minor concern, but his tactical speed should overcome this.
Dark Chill offers a solid each-way proposition with consistent form and a good record on soft tracks. Well-drawn in barrier 7, this experienced gelding should get a good run in transit. The main concerns are the topweight of 59kg and a slight class rise, but his consistency makes him a strong place chance.
Picasso's Dream brings class to the race as a previous winner on soft tracks. Well-drawn in barrier 2 with an experienced jockey, this mare has the ability to feature. However, the 60kg topweight and being first-up from a spell are significant hurdles. If she's forward enough, she could run into the placings.
The class rise is a concern, but the improving form and weight advantage make this a speculative each-way play.

Patrioticintention brings solid recent form, including a close 2nd last start on heavy going. The wide barrier is a concern, but with a strong jockey booking and favorable weight, he looks primed for a breakthrough win.
Doingiteasy is showing an improving form trend and gets the benefit of an inside barrier draw. The 2kg claim offsets the top weight, and his first-up record is impressive. While unproven on soft tracks, his overall profile suggests he can be competitive in this field.
Rock On Angel brings consistent recent form and a good barrier draw. The booking of Ben Looker is a positive, and she appears suited by the distance. While unproven on soft tracks, her overall profile suggests she can be competitive in this field and could challenge for a place.

Starzam presents as the top selection with consistent recent form, including a close second last start on soft ground. With a strong record on soft tracks and carrying a competitive weight, he's well-positioned to handle today's conditions. The wide draw is a minor concern, but his tactical versatility should mitigate this.

While the top weight is a concern, his class and soft track prowess make him a serious threat. The slight step up in distance is the main query.
