Our price $9.00 · SP $17.00 · Jake Pracey-Holmes

Final Impact drops significantly in class after a good second at Orange over 2100m. While his win strike rate is poor (1 from 36), he's been remarkably consistent recently with 5 placings from his last 7 starts. He's had three previous attempts at this distance without placing but has been competitive at similar trips. The moderate tempo should suit his racing style, and Jake Pracey-Holmes knows him well.

Our price $21.00 · SP $41.00 · Leeshelle Small

He's coming off a solid third placing at this track just 11 days ago and has strong track statistics with a second and third from three starts here. The wide barrier is a concern, but with the likely fast tempo, he could get back and run on strongly.

Our price $4.50 · SP $4.40 · Aaron Bullock

Tears For Fears resumes from a spell with a perfect barrier draw (1) and significant gear changes including nose roll and tongue tie first time. While unproven at this distance, her overall consistency (19: 1-2-4) suggests she'll be competitive. The Cameron Crockett/Aaron Bullock combination is powerful at this track, and she should get the perfect run from the inside gate in a race with expected fast tempo.

Our price $7.00 · SP $9.00 · Clayton Gallagher

Her recent form has been mixed, but she ran a good 2nd at Scone three starts back over this distance. Clayton Gallagher is an experienced jockey who knows how to ride this track well.

Our price $5.00 · SP $4.80 · Peter Graham

The 4YO gelding boasts a strong record of 3 wins and 4 placings from just 9 starts, including 3 wins from 7 attempts on good tracks. While facing a significant class rise, his consistent performances and weight advantage (56.5kg) make him a genuine threat.

Our price $6.00 · SP $9.00 · Mitchell Bell

Rhythm Is A Dancer drops significantly in class after a solid 3rd at Dubbo. The 7YO gelding brings a strong overall record (8 wins from 34 starts) and track experience (1 win, 1 second from 8 starts).

Our price $7.00 · SP $12.00 · Siena Grima

Invincible Red represents excellent value after a strong 2nd at Tamworth over this distance. The 6YO gelding has a solid record at the mile (2 wins from 8 starts) and draws perfectly in barrier 1.

Consistent 5yo gelding in peak form with consecutive wins at Muswellbrook. While the barrier (12) is a concern, he's shown versatility in running style and handles good tracks well. The class rise is significant but his current form suggests he can measure up.
