Kathy's Beau brings the strongest recent form into this race, with a win and two placings from his last three starts. Well-weighted and drawn to get an ideal run from barrier 3, he looks the one to beat.

Media Empire comes into this race off a last-start win and appears to be in good form. Well-weighted with 59kg and drawn to get a good run in midfield, he should be suited by the likely race tempo. While facing a class rise, his recent performances suggest he can be competitive at this level.

Mordecai has been knocking on the door with consistent placings and boasts an excellent record at Mackay without winning. The addition of blinkers could provide the edge needed to break through.

Caracristi represents excellent value, dropping significantly in class after consistent performances in stronger company. With a proven record at Mackay over 1800m and a light weight, this mare has strong credentials.
