Prestige Pak brings the right form credentials into this race, coming off a strong second placing last start at Murwillumbah. Second-up today, he's drawn perfectly in barrier 1 which should give him every chance to lead or sit prominently in the run. The inside draw is a significant advantage on the Soft 7 surface.
Insta Worthy comes into this race second-up from a spell after a solid second placing at Lismore. The gelding is dropping significantly in class which is a major positive, though he's yet to break through for a win from 4 starts. Still, his consistency and recent placing make him a major player.
She's drawn perfectly in barrier 2 which should give her every chance from a good position.
The filly gets in with just 55.5kg and has drawn ideally in barrier 4. Her lack of experience is the main concern, but the raw ability appears to be there.

The mare has a perfect soft track record with one win from one attempt and draws ideally in barrier 1.
His heavy track credentials are excellent with a win and a second from two attempts, suggesting he'll handle today's soft conditions. While unproven at the track and distance, his class and recent form make him a genuine threat.
Dizzy Dee comes off a last-start win at this track on heavy going and boasts an impressive record at this track and distance with 2 wins from 4 attempts. The significant class rise is the main concern, but her track/distance affinity and recent form make her a genuine contender.

| Scr | 6 | Old Timing Man | 7 | Shane Everson | 56.5kg |
Her Grafton record is excellent (19: 3-1-3) with strong track/distance stats (9: 1-1-2). The 53kg weight is a significant advantage, and she's proven on soft tracks.
Her record at the distance is impressive (6: 2-1-0) and she handles soft tracks well (9: 2-1-0). The wide barrier is a concern, but her finishing ability should allow her to overcome this disadvantage.
He's second-up today where he has a good record (2: 0-1-0) and has proven ability on soft tracks (5: 1-0-1). The main concerns are the top weight of 59kg and his moderate win strike rate.
While facing a class rise, his improving form pattern and good record at the distance (6: 1-0-1) suggest he's ready to run well. The barrier and weight are both favorable for this improving galloper.

Tara Koda presents as the standout runner with consistent form including a close 2nd two starts back. While untested at the mile, her racing pattern suggests the distance will suit, and Ben Looker's booking is a significant positive. The mare has shown enough ability to handle the class rise.
Her 3rd placing last start at Grafton over 1410m indicates she's in good form, and her soft track record suggests today's conditions will suit. The top weight is a concern, but the class drop offsets this somewhat. Expect her to be finishing strongly.
True Fairy brings solid credentials with proven ability at both the track and on soft going. The wide barrier is a concern, but her racing pattern suggests she can overcome this with a patient ride from Grady Spokes.
While her win strike rate is low, she has shown ability on soft tracks and carries a manageable weight.

While yet to break through for a win, his form is trending in the right direction and he appears ready to peak third-up from a spell.
Mccosker brings solid form with two 3rd placings from two career starts, including a last-start 3rd at this track on a Heavy 8. The barrier draw is favorable, and he should be right in the finish despite carrying top weight.
While yet to win, he's shown ability on soft tracks and has the experience to handle this assignment. The distance is the main query.

My Mum's Toyboy brings excellent course form with 4 wins from 7 starts at Grafton. Second-up today with a good record in that pattern (1-1-0 from 3 starts). His last start 2nd placing at this track and class shows he's in good form, and the advantageous barrier 4 draw should allow him to settle in a good position. Strong win rate of 38% overall makes him a genuine chance.
Super Impressive brings excellent soft track credentials with 4 wins from 6 starts on soft going. Her recent form is solid with a 2nd placing last start, and she has a good record at this distance (2-1-0 from 5 starts). While the barrier is slightly disadvantageous and she faces a class rise, her 31% win rate and perfect 1-from-1 record at Grafton suggest she can be competitive.
She's Exotic brings the strongest credentials with a 63% win rate and perfect 1-from-1 record at Grafton. With excellent soft track form (3 wins from 4 starts) and consistent racing pattern, she's well-positioned to handle today's conditions despite the slight barrier disadvantage.
Her consistent recent form with three consecutive 3rd placings shows she's racing well, and her Grafton record (1-3-0 from 8 starts) indicates course suitability. The advantageous barrier 3 draw should allow her to settle in a good position, and her solid soft track record (2-3-1 from 10) suggests she'll handle conditions. The class drop is a significant positive.

| Scr | 4 | She's Exotic | 7 | Andrew Mallyon | M J Dunn | 57.5kg |
Second-up today after a 6-month spell, he's dropping significantly in class from Open company. The barrier draw (4) is ideal for this track and distance, and he should settle midfield with a strong finishing burst. His soft track record (2:0-0-0) suggests he'll handle today's conditions.
Share Trader brings consistent form with two 3rd placings from 5 starts. The first-time tongue tie could improve his breathing and performance. Should settle midfield from barrier 9 and be running on strongly with the likely fast tempo. His consistency gives him strong place claims.
She has valuable track and distance experience with a 3rd placing from 3 attempts. The advantageous barrier 5 should allow her to settle midfield and finish strongly.
The quick backup suggests fitness, and she's likely to improve on the soft track.

While he's only won once from 24 starts, he's been remarkably consistent with 4 seconds and 4 thirds. His heavy track record (1-1-1 from 4) suggests he'll handle soft conditions, and he's proven at the distance with a win over 2200m. The moderate tempo should suit his forward racing style.
Crimson Spirit is a lightly-raced mare showing progressive staying form, coming off a solid 3rd over 1800m. While unproven at 2200m, her racing pattern suggests she'll appreciate the extra distance. She gets weight relief carrying 57kg and has the tactical versatility to position midfield. Her upside potential as a lightly-raced 4YO mare gives her strong claims despite limited experience at this distance.
The step up to 2200m is a query, but his last start suggests he'll handle it. The wide barrier is a concern, but he gets in with a light weight of 56.5kg.
The significant gear changes suggest connections are trying something different to spark improvement. His barrier 1 draw is ideal for this staying test, and he has experience at Grafton with 5 previous starts including a win. While his class is questionable, the step up to 2200m should suit based on his recent racing pattern.
