Morisu Ojo has been knocking on the door with consistent placings and gets in well at the weights. The C Maher/C Hefel combination is strong, and the filly should appreciate the step up to 1600m. The inside draw could be tricky on a soft track, but her consistency gives her a strong chance.

The likely fast tempo should suit her running style, and she's shown ability on soft tracks. While yet to win, her consistent placings suggest she's ready to break through.
Regal Surge has shown strong recent form and is likely to take up a leading position. With top jockey John Allen aboard and a well-suited weight, he's a strong contender. The main concern is his limited experience on soft tracks.
Girl's Got Class is an intriguing first-up runner with top jockey Linda Meech aboard. Well-drawn in barrier 3, she should get a good run. The lack of previous form data is a concern, but her connections suggest potential.
While yet to win, her consistency suggests she's capable of figuring in the finish, especially if the inside runs well.

With a proven ability on soft tracks and a favorable barrier draw, he looks well-placed to break through for a maiden win. The slight distance increase should suit based on his running style.
Parchment has been knocking on the door with a recent 2nd place finish. While the barrier is slightly wide, Linda Meech's experience should help overcome this. The main query is soft track form.
The mare is well-drawn and drops in class, which are significant positives. However, she is yet to win and is unproven at this distance.
Sadlers Symphony is an intriguing debutant from the Symon Wilde stable. The addition of winkers first-up suggests readiness to perform.

Wilde Racing (Bm56)

Dubai Dancer is a strong contender with consistent recent form and a significant 4kg claim. The mare excels on soft tracks with a 25% win rate, which suits today's conditions.

Royal Inference comes off a last-start win and draws well in barrier 5. The gelding has a solid 20% win rate on soft tracks, which bodes well for today's conditions. While rising in class is a concern, the recent winning form and suitable barrier make Royal Inference a worthy third selection.

Walker''s Earthworks (Bm56)
Ataegina presents as the top selection with consistent form in higher grade races. The mare drops in class here and has a proven record on soft tracks. Drawing barrier 3 is ideal for this track condition, and the booking of Brad Rawiller is a positive. While the 59kg is a concern, her class edge should overcome this.
Jaz Tycoon is well-placed here dropping significantly in class. The gelding has a strong record at the 1600m distance and receives weight relief. While the wide barrier is a concern, his improving form and class edge make him a strong contender. The 66-day break between runs is the main query.
Hydrogen Power brings consistent form and a strong record at the distance. While carrying top weight of 61.5kg, he has proven capable at this level. The inside barrier draw is advantageous, especially on a soft track. His main weakness is his less than ideal record on soft going, which tempers confidence slightly.
Tavabeel presents as a value option, fresh up after a long break and dropping significantly in class. The gear changes suggest improvement, and the booking of Tom Madden is positive.
