Drawn perfectly in barrier 1 at Hawkesbury which should allow him to lead or sit prominent in the run. The Maher stable is renowned for having their horses well-prepared and the booking of in-form jockey Dylan Gibbons is significant. Natural improvement second-up expected.
Everybody Rise brings the strongest form credentials with multiple placings against similar company. The removal of the cross-over noseband and addition of ear muffs pre-race suggests connections are trying to help him settle better. Rachel King is a positive jockey booking, though the 60kg is a concern. Consistent performer who should be right in the finish.
Bohemian Art returns from a spell with some promising form credentials. She placed second in her only previous first-up attempt and has a placing at this distance. The Nathan Doyle stable can have them ready to fire fresh and the booking of Ashley Morgan is positive. The inside draw should allow her to settle midfield and get a nice run.
The inside draw is advantageous at Hawkesbury and she should get a nice run from barrier 2. Second-up today and should improve on her first-up effort.

The Joseph Pride-trained filly has been given plenty of time to mature since that April run and returns with the services of top jockey Jason Collett. The addition of pre-race ear muffs suggests connections are addressing any pre-race anxiety, and her breeding suggests she'll appreciate the step up to 1100m.
Yoweri showed promise on debut at Goulburn, finishing a close second over this distance just three weeks ago. The John O'Shea & Tom Charlton-trained gelding is well-bred being by I Am Invincible and should improve with that experience under his belt. The 21-day spacing between runs is ideal.
The engagement of in-form jockey Dylan Gibbons is a positive sign, as is the addition of pre-race ear muffs to help settle.
The Edward Cummings-trained gelding has placed in 3 of his 8 starts and performs well when fresh. The barrier draw suits his forward racing pattern, and with the likely fast tempo, he could be running on strongly late.

The filly is well-weighted with 55kg and has drawn ideally in barrier 3. Her form is trending upward and she appears ready to break through for her maiden win stepping up to 1500m.
Lady Yarrow brings the most consistent form in the race with 3 seconds from 7 starts. Her good track record (0-2-1 from 4 starts) suits today's conditions, though she's yet to break through for a win.
His form is improving and the 9-day turnaround looks ideal. While carrying top weight is a concern, his recent form suggests he's ready to be competitive. Grant Buckley's experience is a plus.
The 63-day freshen-up could be the key to improvement.

Nesrine brings the strongest credentials with a perfect record at this track and distance. The Jason Attard-trained mare has shown natural improvement throughout her brief career and looks well-placed to handle this class rise second-up.
Margin Call created a strong impression winning on debut at Canberra, showing good natural ability. While facing a class rise, his weight advantage and the booking of Brock Ryan are positives. The wide barrier is the main concern.
Sociable brings solid consistent form to this race with placings in his last two starts. While he tends to find one or two better, his consistency makes him a reliable place chance, especially from a good barrier with Regan Bayliss aboard.
Ashley Morgan retaining the ride is a positive sign.

Her recent form is rock solid with consecutive placings, and she's drawn perfectly in barrier 5 to get an ideal run. The fast tempo should suit her closing style, and she has a proven affinity for the track. The step up to 1400m looks ideal based on her strong finishing efforts.
She's now second-up where she has placed previously, and importantly has a win from two attempts at this distance. The Michael Freedman-trained mare is well-suited by the Good track conditions and gets the services of top jockey Jason Collett. The step up to 1400m looks ideal based on her racing pattern.
The John O'Shea & Tom Charlton-trained mare is perfectly drawn in barrier 1 to get an economical run and has the services of in-form jockey Dylan Gibbons. While unproven at the track and stepping up in class, her first-up prowess and tactical speed make her a genuine contender in this field.

Koning brings strong form credentials with a 2nd placing two starts back at Newcastle over 1850m. Jason Collett is a significant jockey booking, and the 55.5kg weight is advantageous. Should be finishing strongly.
Magic Pharoah brings solid recent form with a 3rd placing last start at Hawkesbury over 2000m and a 4th at Randwick prior in stronger company. Well-drawn in barrier 2 and carrying just 55.5kg, she should get a good run in transit. Tyler Schiller is a positive jockey booking, and her form is on an upward trajectory.
Webejamin has an excellent place record with 7 placings from 17 starts and has previously placed at this track. Perfectly drawn in barrier 1 with Dylan Gibbons aboard, she should get an economical run. The class rise is a concern but she has the ability.
Geemes represents excellent value with a progressive profile, winning impressively last start at Queanbeyan. Her record of 2 wins and 2 placings from just 8 starts indicates significant ability, and she's still improving. The class rise is significant, but she's well-weighted with 57.5kg and drawn ideally in barrier 4. Alysha Collett is a positive jockey booking.

The Big Blue brings the strongest recent form, finishing a close second over this track and distance just 19 days ago. Dylan Gibbons takes the ride on a horse that should get a perfect midfield position from barrier 9 with the expected fast tempo likely to suit his finishing style.
Black Babylon brings strong form credentials, having placed in 4 of his 6 starts including a third at this track last start. He's second-up from a spell with a good record in that pattern and drops significantly in class from previous Group 2 racing.
Cool Drinks is an improving 3YO who placed third last start over 1600m. He gets in with just 55.5kg and draws perfectly in barrier 2, which should allow him to secure a good position in midfield. While he's yet to race beyond 1600m, the step up to 1800m looks suitable based on his racing pattern, and he has the advantage of youth against his older rivals.
The booking of Jason Collett is significant, and as a 3YO he gets in with just 55.5kg. While the wide barrier is a concern, the expected fast tempo should allow him to find a position and the step up to 1800m looks suitable for this Pierro gelding who should continue to improve with racing.

The 7yo gelding has been racing consistently with 3 placings from his last 5 starts and drops in class here. With a good record at the distance (14: 1-1-2) and drawn well in barrier 2, he looks well-placed to break through for a win with Jay Ford retaining the ride.
While his win strike rate is low, he's a consistent performer with 22 second placings from 78 starts. Drawn well in barrier 4 and versatile across all track conditions, he represents strong place value.
Felis Chaus is a lightly raced 4yo with upside, coming off a solid 3rd placing at Kembla Grange followed by a 6th in stronger BM72 company at Warwick Farm. While rising significantly in class, he showed ability with a win two starts back and gets the services of top jockey Tyler Schiller.
Automne Tree resumes from a 143-day spell for the powerful Chris Waller stable with star jockey Kerrin McEvoy aboard.
