Wayed In Light shows promising form with consistent improvement over her 3 career starts. Her last start 2nd suggests she's close to a breakthrough. The mare's weight advantage is significant, but her lack of experience at this distance keeps her as our second pick behind the more seasoned Cowarrie.
Siva Tau shows promise with improving form and a weight advantage. The inside barrier is beneficial, especially for an inexperienced runner. While the limited race experience and untested stamina at this distance are concerns, the potential for improvement keeps Siva Tau as a solid third pick.
Despite being winless, he has shown consistency with multiple placings in recent starts. The return to blinkers could spark improvement, and his experience over similar distances is a plus.

Blue Ismay returns from a spell with a solid first-up record and the services of top jockey Jamie Kah. As a likely leader from a good barrier, he could control the race tempo. The combination of factors makes him the top pick.
The weight advantage and addition of winkers for the first time suggest potential for improvement.
The booking of John Allen is a positive, and the gelding's ability to settle midfield provides tactical options. While still seeking a first win, the recent form suggests improvement is likely.
The addition of winkers for the first time and the booking of Jordan Childs are significant positives.

Brave Danza has shown consistent improvement, including a close 3rd last start. While yet to win, the gelding is well-placed to be competitive in this field and could break through for a maiden win.
Angel Feet brings strong form into this race, including a close 6th in open company last start. A significant class drop and the booking of experienced jockey Jye McNeil make him a strong contender, despite the wide barrier.
Sadlers Symphony showed promise on debut, finishing 6th over 1400m. Well-bred by Royal Symphony, the gelding has drawn favorably and is likely to improve second-up.

Well-weighted and drawn favorably in barrier 6. The Hawkes stable is known for having horses ready first-up and Jye McNeil is a quality jockey.
The combination of Jamie Kah and trainer C W McDonald is noteworthy. The first-time tongue tie could lead to improvement.
Coming off a close 3rd place finish and dropping significantly in class. Trainer C Maher is in good form. While barrier 1 could be tricky, the horse's speed should overcome this.
Drawn well in barrier 3 and has the strong combination of Ben, Will & JD Hayes training and M J Dee riding. While unplaced in its only start, there's potential for significant improvement second-up.

While carrying top weight, the inside draw should allow her to utilize her early speed. The soft track is a query, but her class edge and consistency make her the top pick.
Tauri brings solid recent form including a last-start win. Her soft track experience is a significant advantage, and she's drawn well. While rising in class and carrying more weight, her consistency and adaptability make her a strong each-way prospect in this field.
Eeteedee presents as a solid third pick, dropping significantly in class from Listed company. The lighter weight is advantageous, though the soft track and inside draw are concerns.
While rising in class and facing faster rivals, the light weight and consistent form make her an interesting longshot.

Leading Teams (Bm62)
British Poet stands out as the top selection with an excellent soft track record and strong recent form. Despite the class rise and top weight, his ability to lead and perform well at this distance on soft tracks gives him a significant advantage. Being second-up with a good second-up record further enhances his chances in this race.
The good barrier and weight are advantageous, but the class rise and limited distance experience are concerns.
Active Duty brings consistency and proven class performance to this race. His strong record at the distance and on soft tracks is promising, but the top weight is a significant challenge. The good barrier draw could allow for a tactical run, making him a solid place chance in this competitive field.
The midfield position in a fast-tempo race could suit his running style.

Rex Gorell Volkswagen (Bm62)
Blue Bandit presents as the top selection despite the class rise. His unbeaten record, including a dominant last-start win, coupled with proven soft track form and a quick backup, suggests he's primed for this race. The gelding's weight and in-form jockey further enhance his chances, outweighing concerns about the wide barrier and limited experience.
The filly is well-weighted and has a good second-up record. However, she's untested at this distance and on soft tracks, which introduces some uncertainty. Her limited experience is a concern, but her potential makes her a strong contender.
Scholl Deep brings consistency and a strong record at the distance. The mare is first-up after a spell but has performed well fresh in the past. She's dropping in class from recent runs, which is advantageous. However, the long spell and lack of experience at this track are concerns. The gear change adds an element of uncertainty.
Thunder Award offers value with consistent recent form and a strong record at the distance. The gelding has drawn well and the gear change could spark improvement.

Hot Too Go presents as the top selection with consistent form, including a win and a second in his last two starts. His record at Geelong is solid, and he's well-weighted for this race. The likely moderate-fast tempo should suit his running style, and he's drawn well in barrier 3. While stepping up in distance, his recent performances suggest he's ready for the challenge.
Oraqua comes into this race off a strong win last start and appears to be on an upward trajectory. While stepping up in class, the mare is well-weighted and has shown ability on soft tracks.
Up And Under presents as an interesting prospect dropping significantly in class.
While yet to win at this distance, his soft track form and good barrier draw are positives. The gelding's consistent placings suggest he's knocking on the door for a win, and this easier class could provide the opportunity.
