Dancingonmyown brings the strongest form credentials, having competed admirably in Listed company. Barrier 1 is perfect for Wodonga's tight-turning track, and her third placing over a similar trip indicates she'll handle this distance.
Her second placing two starts back shows she's capable at this level, and the addition of a tongue tie could help her finish stronger. The fast tempo should suit her running style from a midfield position, and she appears ready to break through after consistent performances.
Marty Mcfly brings experience to this field with 9 starts and has shown ability with a third placing. The significant class drop is a major positive, and the addition of ear muffs pre-race may help him settle better. The wide barrier is a concern on this tight track, but he has the experience to overcome it.
Her second-up record shows improvement with a placing, and she's previously placed at this distance. The fast tempo should suit her running style, and barrier 5 gives options.

The mare has tactical speed to utilize barrier 9 effectively at Wodonga's 1400m start, where she can secure a forward position. Second-up here and should be at peak fitness. The step up to 1400m looks suitable based on her finishing efforts over shorter trips.
Please Me Do is showing clear improvement with a strong third last start at Bendigo, beaten less than a length. The 1400m distance suits based on her recent run over 1300m, and she appears to be reaching peak fitness at the right time.
The gear changes (blinkers off, tongue tie on) suggest connections are looking to help him settle better over this longer trip. Well-drawn in barrier 6 and the engagement of Cory Parish is a positive. Likely to show significant improvement second-up and over more ground.
Gets in with just 53kg and draws perfectly in barrier 3, which is ideal for Wodonga's 1400m start.

The gear change from blinkers to winkers could sharpen her focus, and she's well-suited by the likely fast tempo. Her tactical versatility to settle midfield gives her options from barrier 8, and she's dropping in class from her recent runs.
Adki is a consistent mare with a strong overall record (70: 8-9-6) who has been racing well with 5 placings from her last 10 starts. She's proven at this distance (10: 1-2-0) and drops in class here. The wide barrier (12) is a concern, but her regular jockey Amy Herrmann knows her well and should be able to find a good position in the likely fast-tempo race.
He has previous success at this distance (8: 1-1-0) and some experience at this track (3: 0-1-0). While his win rate is low (3%), he's dropping in class and should appreciate the likely fast tempo, though he'll need to overcome barrier 10.
While her win rate is poor (3%), she has placed at this track previously (1: 0-0-1) and should be suited by the likely fast tempo. From barrier 5, apprentice Faith Collins should be able to position her midfield rather than at the rear, giving her a chance to finish strongly.

Bellman brings the strongest recent form into this race, winning last start over 1800m at Wagga. The 7yo gelding is dropping significantly in class from BM58 to BM52 and has been racing consistently with 5 placings from his last 10 starts. The top weight is offset by his class edge.
Loveofmylife is a progressive 4yo mare with an impressive record of 3 wins from just 9 starts. She comes off a last-start win over 1400m at Lockhart and has been racing consistently with 3 wins from her last 5 starts. While stepping up in class, her strong win rate and recent form suggest she's still improving. Good barrier draw and weight advantage over the top selection enhance her chances.
Cable De Vega is dropping significantly in class and has been racing consistently in stronger company. The 7yo mare has a solid record at this distance with 1 win and 2 thirds from 8 starts. While her win rate is modest at 12%, she's been competitive in higher grade races and should appreciate the class relief. The 41-day freshen-up is a slight concern, but she's proven to race well with spacing between runs.
While her recent form is moderate, she's dropping in class and has shown ability to improve second-up.

Tallingas Prince brings the strongest recent form into this race with a close 3rd last start at similar distance. Has won at this track previously and should appreciate the moderate-slow tempo predicted. Well-placed dropping in class and should be finishing strongly.
Has won at this distance previously and should be prominent in the run from barrier 6. Will be suited by the moderate tempo and has the ability to finish off strongly. Represents solid each-way value.
Tosen Glory brings consistent recent form with consecutive thirds in his last two starts. Has placed at this track previously and should appreciate the moderate tempo. Coming back from 2200m to 2050m is ideal, and he's dropping in class from his last start. Barrier 5 gives options and he should be finishing off strongly with Logan McNeil aboard.
Has won at this distance previously and drops in class here. The light weight of 57.5kg is advantageous, and he should appreciate the moderate tempo.

Rosie's Prophecy brings the strongest recent form into this race with three consecutive placings, including two thirds in her last two starts. While she's only won once from 16 starts, her consistency is impressive with 9 placings overall. The Good track suits, and she should get a nice run from barrier 9.
Ellmaknifico brings solid credentials to this race with a strong record at the 1200m distance. Drawing barrier 3 is ideal at Wodonga's tight-turning track, and he should be able to use his early speed to take up a forward position. While his recent form has been patchy, the drop in class is significant and should allow him to be competitive. His good track record is another positive, and he represents solid each-way value.
O'reg comes into this race with solid recent form, including a close second last start at Wagga. The 11-year-old veteran knows his way around and should get a perfect run from barrier 5, likely settling on-pace. While his win strike rate is modest at 7%, his place percentage of 37% shows his consistency. The Good track conditions suit him well, and he represents solid each-way value in this field.
He's dropping significantly in class, which should make him more competitive than his recent form suggests. With two wins at the 1200m distance and a strong record on Good tracks, conditions are ideal. The barrier is slightly awkward, but with Hannah Edgley aboard, he can settle midfield and finish strongly.

Dropping in class from his last start and with a consistent recent form line, he maps to be on speed which suits Wodonga's tight-turning track.
The slight class drop helps, and he's drawn perfectly in barrier 5 to take advantage of Wodonga's tight-turning track. His consistency is a plus, finishing in the placings in 2 of his last 5 starts. With 1-0-2 from 12 starts at the distance, he's reliable for the minor placings.
Soo Kiss Me is a second-up specialist with a win from three attempts in this stage of preparation. Coming off a solid 4th at Jerilderie, she's ready to improve, though barrier 13 is a concern at Wodonga's tight-turning track. Her versatile racing pattern gives options to overcome the wide draw.
Second-up now and dropping in class, she should improve on her solid 4th last start.
