Dee Dee Express showed significant ability on debut when finishing a close second at Canberra over 1000m on a Soft 5 track. The Matthew Dale-trained mare gets in well at the weights and has secured the services of experienced jockey K S Latham. Likely to settle midfield and finish strongly.
Glenn's Legacy has shown ability in his two career starts, including a strong second at Wagga in March. Second-up from a spell and with Brock Ryan aboard, he should improve on his last start 4th at Moruya over 930m. Expect him to settle midfield and run on strongly.
While she hasn't placed in her 5 career starts, she's been competitive in stronger company and drops significantly in class here. Second-up from a spell and drawn well in barrier 2, she should get a good run under Jack Martin. Her recent 7th at Leeton wasn't inspiring, but the return to a more suitable track should help.
Whoopi Do is the unknown quantity in this field as a first starter with no exposed form. The booking of quality jockey Alysha Collett is significant, and the advantageous barrier 3 draw suggests connections expect a forward showing.

Open Secret represents strong value dropping significantly in class from Group 2 company. The tongue tie first time could help her breathing, and her first-up record (2:1-0-0) suggests she can fire fresh. The class drop is the decisive factor.
She's dropping in class from her last start and should get a good run from barrier 3. The addition of a nose roll could help her focus in the straight. While her Good track record is only moderate, her overall consistency makes her a genuine place chance.
Benamera brings solid credentials with a strong record at the distance (4:1-2-0) and the perfect inside draw with the rail out. His recent form is trending upward with a close second last start. While he's rising in class and has a poor record on Good tracks, his barrier advantage and distance suitability give him place claims in this field.
He's proven at this distance with a record of 2:1-0-1 and is well-drawn in barrier 5.

Ken''ker brings solid credentials with a strong record at Goulburn (6: 1-0-3) and consistent recent form. While yet to win at the mile, he's placed 3 times from 5 attempts and should get an ideal run from barrier 1. Billy Owen knows this horse well, and despite the top weight, his recent performances suggest he's ready to break through at this distance.
Hurricane Coni brings proven track and distance credentials with a previous win at Goulburn over the mile. His overall record at this track (3: 1-1-0) is solid, and he's a consistent performer with 4 wins from 25 starts. While he failed last start, his previous win at this track and distance suggests he can bounce back, especially with K S Latham aboard who knows the horse well.
Sapphires Son brings strong mile credentials with 5 wins from 22 attempts at the distance. The quick backup is a query, but Chad Schofield takes the ride and the horse has proven capability at Goulburn with 2 wins from 16 starts.
Soul Taker represents value with a strong mile record of 3 wins from 10 attempts. While she lacks experience at Goulburn, her overall mile form is impressive and she gets in with just 55.5kg.

Falcon Lair brings the strongest and most consistent form into this race with three consecutive third placings. Well-drawn in barrier 6 with tactical speed to position forward, he looks ready to win.
So Superior showed significant improvement last start with a strong third at this track over 1500m.
The Maher-trained filly has been improving with each run and the step up to 1600m should suit her racing pattern.
She's A Dame presents as the clear value runner in this field. The Waterhouse & Bott-trained mare has been consistent with two thirds from two starts and is second-up from a spell where natural improvement is expected.

First-starter from the O'Shea/Charlton stable who appears well-prepared with tactical gear changes. The stable rarely sends unprepared runners to provincial tracks, and the booking of A Adkins is significant. The compressed weight scale (only 4kg spread) means the 56.5kg impost is favorable. Drawn to settle midfield and finish strongly in a race with likely fast tempo.
Second-up runner from the Bjorn Baker stable who showed promise with a 3rd placing at this track and distance 12 days ago. The spacing between runs is ideal, and the significant class drop from previous racing is a major positive. Has shown ability with a 0-0-1 record from 2 starts at this distance. Winona Costin takes the ride and should position him midfield with cover.
Consistent mare from the David Pfieffer stable who has placed second in 2 of her 4 starts. Her second-up record is promising with a second placing from her only attempt. Performs well on good tracks with 2 seconds from 3 starts. Drawn ideally in barrier 4 to take up a forward position in a race likely to favor on-pace runners. The 79-day break between runs is the main concern.
First-up runner from the Gary Portelli stable who showed promise with a second placing on debut. The 283-day break is significant, but her first-up record suggests she can perform fresh. Drawn well in barrier 5 and well-weighted with 57kg in a compressed scale.

Manwari brings the strongest recent form into this race with back-to-back wins, including a victory at this track and distance. Despite carrying top weight, he's shown the ability to handle it effectively and has drawn ideally in barrier 5. The Good 4 surface suits perfectly.
The veteran campaigner gets the perfect inside draw and a weight advantage compared to the top selection. While his Goulburn record isn't stellar, his current form and tactical speed make him a genuine threat, especially if he can utilize the inside barrier effectively.
He's drawn well to take up a forward position and should ensure a genuine tempo. While he struggles to win, he's a consistent performer who rarely runs poorly. The Good 4 surface isn't his preferred going, but his recent form suggests he's racing well enough to be competitive against this field.

Jackpot Star brings rock-solid form credentials with consecutive 3rd placings in his last two starts. His overall record is impressive with 2 wins and 2 places from 7 starts (29% win rate, 57% place rate). The quick 8-day backup suggests he's fit and ready, and his record on good tracks (1 win from 2 starts) indicates he'll handle today's conditions well. The middle barrier gives options tactically, though he's stepping up in class from recent runs.
Kreon drops significantly in class after racing in stronger metropolitan company. He's a previous winner at this track and performs well on good surfaces (2 wins from 10 starts). The main concerns are his inconsistent recent form and poor overall place strike rate (14%), but the class drop could be the key factor in his favor today.
Master Of Disguise presents as the standout runner second-up from a spell with an excellent record when second-up (1 win from 2 starts). Her overall statistics are impressive with 3 wins from 9 starts (33%) and she excels on good tracks (3 wins from 7 starts). Coming back from metropolitan grade at Randwick where she ran a respectable 5th, she should find this country class more suitable. The wide barrier is offset by her tactical versatility.
The Mona Lisa offers exceptional value given her perfect record at this track and distance (2 wins from 2 starts). While she's first-up from a 162-day spell with a moderate first-up record (0 wins from 2 starts), the combination of track/distance suitability, lightweight, and good barrier draw makes her an attractive longshot proposition in this field.
