While he's yet to race at Kalgoorlie, his consistent form and likely on-pace position from barrier 2 suit the track's configuration for 1100m starts. The class rise and top weight are offset by his proven ability and speed.
Twist Of Gold brings strong recent form and an excellent track record to this race. With 3 wins from her last 6 starts and a consistent record at this track and distance, she's well-positioned to capitalize on the inside draw. The slight class rise is offset by her consistency and proven ability to perform at Kalgoorlie.
Treasured Queen is a consistent performer with a strong record at Kalgoorlie. While her win strike rate is moderate, she frequently places and should appreciate the weight drop from her last start.
While carrying top weight, she's proven her ability at this level and brings consistent recent form. The wider barrier is a concern, but her experience and the booking of Zephen Johnston-Porter offset this somewhat.

Solar Crest presents as the top pick despite the wide draw. The significant class drop from Group 3 company is a major advantage, and her strong first-up record (1 placing from 1 start) suggests readiness.
Beyond The Wall has been knocking on the door with 4 placings from 11 starts. While yet to break through for a win, his consistency and track experience (1 start) make him a solid contender despite the top weight.
Tiger Tank, while unraced, draws the inside barrier which is advantageous at Kalgoorlie for the 1100m start. The addition of blinkers first time suggests trainer confidence, and the Parnham/Ramoly combination is strong. As a debutant from a top stable, Tiger Tank could be well-prepared for a strong first-up showing, but lack of race experience is a concern.
The midfield barrier is a slight concern, but her form suggests she could be ready to peak.

Without Remorse stands out as the top selection despite limited race experience. First-up from a spell, but has performed well fresh before. The inside barrier draw is advantageous at Kalgoorlie, and the Luke Fernie/Chris Parnham combination adds confidence. While unproven at the track and distance, the overall form suggests a strong winning chance.
Whatyoutalkinbout shows promise after a solid 4th place finish in its only start. With only 11 days since that run, fitness is a plus. Lucy Warwick's experience is valuable, and the gelding appears well-suited to the race conditions. The wide barrier is a concern at Kalgoorlie, but there's potential for significant improvement second-up. The recent form and connections make this a strong place chance.
Shine And Burn offers value as a place chance. With consistent recent form, including two placings in her last three starts, and experience at Kalgoorlie, she has advantages over some rivals. The lightweight and likely fast tempo should suit her running style. While yet to win, her consistency and track experience make her a solid each-way prospect in this field.
George On Skates presents as an interesting value selection. Despite no wins, recent form shows improvement with a 3rd place finish last start. Brad Parnham is a strong jockey booking, and the neutral barrier draw should allow tactical flexibility.
