Hibiki Harmony brings the strongest form credentials, dropping back from BM66 grade where she ran a close 4th last start. Despite the top weight, the 3kg claim from Braith Nock offsets this concern. The mare has shown versatility in running style and should handle the moderate-fast tempo expected.

In Memory Of Ray Webber Country Boosted (Bm58)
Sanzeno presents as a genuine winning chance second-up from a spell where he has a strong record. The step up to 1500m should suit based on his previous performances over similar distances, and he's well-positioned from barrier 5.
Fleetly is a progressive mare who ran a strong 2nd last start at Mudgee over 1400m. While stepping up in class, she gets in with a light weight and has the services of quality jockey Ashley Morgan. Her form is trending in the right direction, and she should be competitive despite the class rise. The barrier draw is favorable, and she should get a good run in transit.
While this is a significant class rise, he's been consistent with 4 placings from 19 starts and gets in with just 55kg. His recent form suggests he's improving, and the step up to 1500m should suit based on his running style.

In Memory Of Anthea Wright Hcp (C1)
Progressive Dundeel mare who won impressively at Scone last start when resuming. Second-up today and should improve further. Perfectly drawn in barrier 1 to get an economical run and has top jockey Ashley Morgan aboard. The step up to 1450m looks ideal and she appears to have more upside than her rivals.
Vancouver gelding who won impressively on debut at Grafton. Carries top weight but has the ability to handle it. Drawn well in barrier 3 and the removal of blinkers suggests connections want him to settle better. The step up in distance should suit and he has natural improvement to come.
Pariah mare resuming from a spell for the Kris Lees stable. Has a good first-up record with 1 win from 2 attempts and is drawn perfectly in barrier 2. Has competed in stronger races in Queensland and should find this easier. Andrew Gibbons knows the track well and should give her every chance.
Supido mare who has been racing consistently without winning. Will be suited by the likely moderate-fast tempo and should be finishing strongly.

Well-bred Snitzel colt from the Messara & Gavranich stable who should improve significantly second-up. Drawn perfectly in barrier 4 with top jockey Ashley Morgan aboard, he looks well-placed to break through in this moderate maiden field.
Consistent All Too Hard gelding who has placed in 3 of his 8 starts. Second-up today with natural improvement expected and the step up to 1280m should suit. Luke Rolls retains the ride and the addition of winkers for the first time could sharpen him up. Main danger to the favorite.
Well-drawn in barrier 2 and should improve significantly second-up.
Second-up today with natural improvement expected and the removal of blinkers and cross-over nose band could help her settle better. The booking of top jockey Grant Buckley is significant and she's drawn well in barrier 6.

In Memory Of Rita And Ron Englebrecht Mdn Hcp
The perfect barrier 1 draw is ideal for this 900m sprint start, and she should be able to utilize her early speed. First-up from a spell but showed she can perform fresh last preparation. Brett Cavanough is a skilled trainer with sprinters, and the booking of Braith Nock is a positive.
The engagement of top jockey Andrew Gibbons is a strong positive, as is trainer Angela Davies who has an excellent record with first starters. The application of visors first time suggests connections expect the horse to be competitive immediately. The wide barrier is a concern, but the likely fast tempo may help overcome this.
Hillewie is an interesting first-starter with the services of top jockey Aaron Bullock, which is a significant positive. The barrier 5 draw should allow this runner to take up a forward position in a race where the track bias favors leaders. The top weight of 59kg suggests some ability, though it's a concern for a debutant. Trainer Jenelle Bowen has been in good form recently.
Second-up from a spell where fitness improvement is expected, and the barrier 3 draw is advantageous. The 900m trip should suit based on her previous run at this distance.

In Memory Of Yvonne Boyle Hcp (C1)
Second-up today with a perfect draw in barrier 3, this mare should get an ideal run just off the pace in what looks to be a very fast tempo.
Perfectly drawn in barrier 2 with Aaron Bullock aboard, he should get an ideal run on the speed.
While her win strike rate is low, she's consistently competitive with 1 win, 1 second and 4 thirds from 23 starts.
Perfectly drawn in barrier 1 for this 900m sprint, he should get an ideal run on the speed.

Villa Castina brings the strongest form credentials, dropping significantly from Listed company where she ran a respectable 5th last start. The likely fast tempo suits her running style, and she's been placed in 2 of her 5 starts. Represents the clear top selection.
The P Messara & L Gavranich-trained filly gets in with a light weight and has drawn well. With natural improvement second-up and Ashley Morgan aboard, she looks a genuine winning chance.
Gold Capital brings solid recent form, dropping back from Class 1 company where he ran a creditable 4th last start. Well-drawn in barrier 3 and with the fitness edge of recent racing, he should be right in the finish.
The likely fast tempo should suit his running style.

In Memory Of Garry Fraser (Bm58)
Bold Design brings strong credentials as a lightly-raced gelding with excellent consistency (3:1-0-2). Second-up today after a solid 3rd placing at this track and distance two weeks ago. Has proven ability to carry weight and performs well on Good tracks. The wide barrier is a concern, but his tactical versatility should allow him to overcome it. Represents the best winning chance in this field.
Pelette brings strong credentials with excellent track statistics (5:1-2-0) and proven ability at this distance (7:2-1-0). Recent form has been solid with a 2nd placing at Muswellbrook three starts back. The quick backup (7 days) is a slight concern, but she's proven to handle this track and should be right in the finish.
Lady Zodiac returns from a spell with an impressive first-up record (3:1-0-1) and excellent credentials at this distance (3:1-1-0). The class drop is significant and barrier 3 is ideal for her forward racing pattern. The top weight is the main concern, but her quality should overcome this.
Battle Reign represents excellent value as a lightly-raced mare with a progressive profile. Though first-up from a 174-day spell, her overall record (5:1-0-1) shows consistency. The significant class rise is offset by her weight advantage and untapped potential.

In Memory Of Dot Robinson (Bm66)
His pattern is improving with each run and he's well-weighted with 56.5kg. While he's rising in class, his recent performances suggest he's ready for the challenge. The Good track suits him perfectly based on his record of 2-1-1 from 8 starts.
Beau Bandit brings an impressive win record of 2 from 4 starts and is coming off a last-start win at Newcastle. While he's stepping up in class and is yet to race at this track or distance, his overall profile suggests he has the ability to handle this assignment.
His record at this distance is excellent with 3 wins from 8 starts, and he performs well on Good tracks.
Sammiballerina represents excellent value given her strong record at this track (1-0-2 from 10 starts) and specifically at this track and distance (1-0-1 from 7 starts). Her recent 3rd place finish at this track behind Supairo reads well for this assignment.
