Crusader Voyage brings the strongest form credentials to this race with consecutive seconds at his last two starts. The Chris Waller-trained colt has been knocking on the door and gets the services of J McDonald from a favorable barrier 5 draw. The drop in class should see him very hard to beat.
Falcon Lair has been a model of consistency with three consecutive third placings. The Archibald-trained gelding gets the blinkers on for the first time which could be the catalyst for improvement. With Chad Schofield aboard, he should be right in the finish.
Jade Sunset showed ability two starts back with a strong second at Hawkesbury over 1400m. The T J Bartley-trained filly has drawn perfectly in barrier 2 which should allow her to secure a good position in running.
The O'Shea & Charlton-trained gelding is second-up from a spell and has placed third when second-up previously. He's dropping significantly in class from his previous starts and gets the services of in-form jockey Zac Lloyd.

| Scr | 6 | Lauper | 10 | A Adkins | G Ryan & S Alexiou | 54kg | |
| Scr | 11 | Villa Castina | 3 | Alysha Collett | Annabel & Rob Archibald | 54kg |
Her recent form is excellent with a win at Scone followed by a close 2nd at Randwick. The 3kg claim from Braith Nock is valuable, and she's proven on Good tracks.
The Bjorn Baker/Dylan Gibbons combination is firing, but the wide barrier is a slight concern.
Miss Freelove is second-up from a spell where she has a perfect record. Her recent 2nd at Canterbury in BM72 company shows she's in good form, and she has previous experience at Warwick Farm.
Matima represents excellent value returning from a spell with a perfect first-up record. He's dropping significantly in class from Open company where he was competitive, and has drawn well in barrier 2. While carrying top weight is a concern, the booking of Nash Rawiller is a significant positive.

Captain Maverick brings the strongest recent form into this race with three seconds from his last five starts. While he's yet to race over 2200m, his performances at 1900m-2000m suggest he'll handle the trip. The expected moderate-fast tempo should suit his midfield running style.
Majorian brings proven course and distance form, having won over this track and trip two starts back before finishing second last time out. While carrying top weight is a concern, his inside draw and proven ability on soft tracks are significant positives. Chad Schofield knows the horse well and should position him perfectly in the early stages from barrier 5.
Leaders Listen should take up the running from barrier 4 and attempt to control the race. His recent form is solid with two wins from his last five starts, though he's untested at this distance. The inside draw is advantageous at Warwick Farm, and if allowed to dictate terms, he could prove hard to run down. The slight weight drop is another positive.
The perfect draw in barrier 1 and lightweight of 54.5kg are significant advantages, and his 33% win strike rate suggests he knows how to find the line.

| Scr | 10 | Marsabit | 6 | Pierre Boudvillain | D A Williams | 54.5kg |
Progressive gelding with excellent strike rates who excels when fresh (1 win from 1 first-up start). Drawn perfectly in barrier 3 to secure a midfield position in a moderately-paced race. Has been competitive in similar company and gets in well at the weights with Zac Lloyd aboard. The class rise is offset by natural improvement and weight relief.
Talented gelding dropping in class with the services of J McDonald. Second-up record (1 win from 3 starts) suggests improvement, and the class drop is significant. Wide barrier is the main concern, but McDonald should be able to navigate a path from there.
Well-drawn in barrier 4 to secure a good position in the run and gets in with just 54.5kg. Has shown ability at metropolitan level previously and his recent form suggests he's ready to be competitive in this grade. The step up to 1600m is the query.
Seasoned campaigner coming off a strong second placing at this class level. Has a solid record at the mile (2 wins, 2 seconds from 11 starts) and gets the services of Nash Rawiller who knows him well.

| Scr | 14 | Ivan''s Hero | 14 | C J Waller | 54kg |
She's a consistent performer at this class level with strong recent form. While yet to win at 1100m, she has placed at the trip and handles good tracks well. The likely very fast tempo should suit her running style, and she gets the services of top jockey Joshua Parr from a favorable barrier.
Kilonova is a lightly-raced mare from the Chris Waller stable with significant upside. With only three career starts resulting in a win and a place, she's still developing but shows promise. The booking of J McDonald is significant, and she gets in with just 55.5kg. While stepping up in class, her progressive profile and connections suggest she can measure up.
Istolea Merc brings a strong record to this race with 3 wins and 2 places from 7 starts. He's particularly effective on good tracks with 2 wins and 2 places from 4 starts. While first-up from a spell, he has a solid fresh record with 2 placings from 2 attempts. The wide barrier is a concern, but his early speed should allow him to overcome this and take up a forward position in a race likely to favor leaders.
Drawing barrier 2 is advantageous at Warwick Farm, and he carries just 55.5kg.

His 1000m form is outstanding (2-1-1 from 4 starts) and he's drawn perfectly in barrier 3 to utilize his tactical speed. While stepping up in class, his progressive profile suggests he's ready for this level, and the booking of Kerrin McEvoy is significant. Represents clear winning value.
Wondereach brings excellent first-up credentials and strong Warwick Farm form to this race. While drawn wide, his tactical speed should allow him to find a position. The class rise is the main query, but his overall profile suggests he can be competitive at this level.
Shezanalister brings an exceptional first-up record and has won her only start at Warwick Farm over this distance. Her overall 1000m record is impressive (3-2-1 from 6 starts) and the booking of Jason Collett is a positive.
His record at 1000m is strong (5-0-1 from 9 starts) and he's drawn perfectly in barrier 1 with just 52kg. While facing a significant class rise, his recent form suggests he's in career-best condition.

Progressive mare with an outstanding record of 3 wins from 4 starts who comes into this second-up after a dominant win at Canterbury. While stepping up significantly in class, she has the tactical speed to utilize barrier 3 perfectly at Warwick Farm where on-pace runners are favored. Tim Clark knows how to rate a horse in front and she should prove hard to run down despite the class rise.
Consistent gelding who has been knocking on the door with placings in 3 of his last 4 starts. The wide barrier is a concern, but Nash Rawiller's booking is a significant positive and he should be finishing strongly.
Lightly-raced gelding with an impressive record of 3 wins from 6 starts who has been racing consistently in provincial grade. The wide barrier is a concern, but he has tactical speed to overcome it and the booking of J McDonald is significant. While stepping up in class, his progressive profile suggests he has the ability to measure up, though the 1400m for the first time is a query.
Seasoned campaigner with excellent Warwick Farm credentials including 3 wins, 3 seconds and 3 thirds from 16 starts at the track. His record at this track and distance is particularly strong with 2 wins and 2 thirds from 6 attempts.
