Moonwalk brings the strongest form credentials to this maiden, having placed second at her last start in stronger company. The G & A Williams-trained filly gets the services of champion jockey William Pike and drops to 54kg. First-up record shows she can perform fresh, and the inside-middle draw suits at Northam where the track bias favors inside barriers. The fast tempo should allow her to settle midfield and finish strongly.
The C H Webster-trained mare returns from a spell with significant gear changes that could spark improvement. Troy Turner is an experienced jockey who knows how to get the best out of his mounts. The barrier is slightly awkward but with only one career start, there's plenty of upside potential.
Exceed The Boom brings strong form credentials having competed in much stronger Group and Listed races. The removal of blinkers could help him settle better, and his record of 6:0-0-2 shows consistency. The wide barrier is a concern, but Holly Watson should be able to find cover in midfield.
Bondi Lifesaver is an interesting debutant from the strong Neville Parnham stable. With the likely fast tempo, Bondi Lifesaver could use early speed to overcome the slightly awkward barrier. While lacking race experience, the stable-jockey combination warrants respect in this maiden field.

Fila Mia brings the strongest form credentials, dropping significantly in class after competing in Group 3 and Open company. Second-up today with beneficial gear changes (lugging bit on, tongue tie on), she should improve sharply on her first-up run where she finished a creditable third.
His last start resulted in a close second at Pinjarra over 1200m, and he's dropping significantly in class after competing in Group 3 and Open company. While yet to win, he's placed in 33% of his starts and gets the services of Brad Parnham from a favorable barrier.
Tabba Tabba Boom brings consistency with placings in all three career starts, including a second at this track. The wide barrier is a concern, but with Joseph Azzopardi aboard, she should get every chance. The class rise is the main query, but her consistency suggests she can be competitive.
Malagarasi represents significant value as an unraced prospect from the powerful G & A Williams stable. The application of winkers first-up suggests readiness, while the favorable barrier draw (3) and booking of Lucy Warwick are strong positive indicators. The Williams stable has an excellent record with well-prepared debutants, and the moderate-fast tempo predicted should suit a horse drawn to get a good position.

Last Mile drops significantly in class after racing in stronger company. While yet to place from 5 starts, his form is consistent and the class drop should see him competitive at this level.
Miss Veuve has the best track and distance record in the field with a second placing from her only attempt. While her form is slightly declining, her overall consistency and track experience make her a strong contender.
Harris Road is lightly raced but showing improvement with each start, finishing 4th last time out. While inexperienced, his upward trajectory suggests further improvement is likely at Northam.
While yet to win from 14 starts and drawn wide in barrier 10, his recent form and the engagement of Joseph Azzopardi make him an appealing value proposition.

Hoya Destroyer brings the strongest form into this race, having placed second in his last two starts including a Class 1 event. Well-drawn in barrier 6 with a top jockey aboard, he should get an ideal run in the first half of the field and prove too strong.
Vexatious Rose has shown promise in her brief career with two third placings from two starts. While she's stepping up to 1400m for the first time, her racing pattern suggests the extra distance will suit. With a good draw and experienced jockey, she represents the main danger to the top selection.
She's Some Craic showed significant improvement last start when finishing third at Northam over 1600m. The drop back to 1400m should suit, and she has previous experience at this track with a third placing from three attempts. While the wide barrier is a concern, her recent form suggests she's ready to run well again, especially if she can get cover early.
Invincible Thief returns from a spell with the advantage of barrier 1 and a quality jockey in Patrick Carbery. Her second placing in Class 1 company two starts back shows she has ability, and the drop back to maiden grade is significant. While first-up from a spell, she has shown ability fresh in the past.

Hedawood was impressive winning on debut and brings an unbeaten record to this race. The gelding is likely to push forward from barrier 6 which should suit the track pattern. Chris Parnham is a strong jockey booking and the horse has proven ability on rain-affected tracks. The class rise from a Maiden to Class 1 is the main query, but his raw ability could overcome this.
King's Drama comes off a maiden win and is showing an improving form pattern. Steven Parnham is a positive jockey booking.
Perfect Chant drops significantly in class from recent Class 5 and Class 3 races to a Class 1. The mare has drawn perfectly in barrier 1 which should be advantageous with the current track bias. William Pike taking the ride is a major positive, and her consistent form (7:1-0-1) suggests she'll be competitive. While carrying top weight is a concern, the class drop more than compensates.
Coming off a last-start second placing, this gelding has a proven record at the distance (1:1-0-0) and should adopt a forward position which suits the track pattern. Jordan Turner continues his association with the horse.

Worcester brings the strongest form credentials with a consistent pattern of performances including a close 2nd last start over 1650m. His record at the mile is excellent (6: 1-3-1) and he's proven adaptable to different race tempos. The Clinton Porter/Dylan Bairstow combination is effective, and his versatile racing pattern is well-suited to Northam's fair layout. Represents the best winning chance.
Covert Rose brings solid credentials with a strong mile record (8: 1-2-1) and recent 2nd at this track and class. William Pike's engagement is significant, and she's proven capable at the weights. While more effective on softer going, she has performed well on good tracks. Consistent place-getter who should be right in the finish again.
I'm Nipote presents as an interesting prospect second-up from a spell where his record is excellent (3: 1-0-2). The inside barrier draw is advantageous, and Lucy Warwick is a positive jockey booking. Main query is his first attempt at the mile distance.
His mile record is solid (12: 1-1-1) and he's shown an improving form pattern. Has experience at Northam (2: 0-0-1) and the good track conditions suit his style.

Lightly-raced gelding with excellent form credentials showing a perfect record on good tracks. While first-up from a spell, his previous fresh runs have yielded strong results (2:0-1-1). The G & A Williams stable excels with horses resuming, and the engagement of William Pike is significant. Despite the class rise, he appears to have considerable upside and should handle this assignment.
Mare dropping significantly in class after competing in stronger metropolitan races. The inside barrier draw is advantageous at Northam, and she should get a perfect run in transit. While her win strike rate is modest, the class drop makes her very competitive here.
Mare showing consistent form with consecutive 3rd placings and a strong record at this distance (2:1-0-1). She's dropping in class and has drawn well in barrier 3, which should allow her to secure a good position in running.
Her recent win at Northam demonstrates her affinity for the course, and she should be suited by the likely fast tempo.
