Born Survivor brings the strongest recent form to this race with three consecutive third placings. Brad Rawiller knows this horse well and the moderate-fast tempo should suit his racing pattern. The main concern is he's yet to break through for a win from 7 starts.
Jappalouis brings strong recent form with two second placings in his last four starts. The moderate-fast tempo should suit his racing style, and he's drawn well in barrier 3. While yet to win from 14 starts, he appears ready to break through in this company.
Deep Stream has a key advantage with previous experience at this track and distance, finishing third here in September. He's well-drawn in barrier 1 and likely to be on-pace in a race that should favor leaders. His second-up record shows he typically improves from his first-up run. While yet to win from 17 starts, this race presents a good opportunity to break through.
The quick backup suggests fitness won't be an issue, and his midfield racing style should suit the moderate-fast tempo expected.

Parabellum brings the strongest recent form, winning just 5 days ago over 2000m in heavy conditions. While she hasn't won at Wodonga before, her tactical versatility and proven staying ability make her the standout selection.
Second Nature brings solid recent form with a close 2nd placing at Yarra Glen. While carrying a high weight and unproven at this track and distance, his consistency and tactical speed make him a genuine contender.
The 6-year-old gelding is dropping in class and carries just 52.5kg. While his recent form is moderate and he has a low win strike rate, the combination of barrier advantage and weight relief gives him strong place claims.
She draws well in barrier 3 and should get a good run in transit.

The step up to 1400m looks ideal for her racing pattern, and she's drawn perfectly in barrier 3 to get a good midfield position in what should be a genuinely run race.
Her Legacy is a progressive 3YO filly from the Ben Brisbourne stable who should appreciate the step up to 1400m. From barrier 9 she'll likely settle back in the field, but with the predicted fast tempo, she should be running on strongly in the straight.
Dunnenkate Bro brings consistent form to this race with three straight 5th-6th placings. The concern is the quick backup just 2 days after his last run, but if he handles that, he should be in the finish.

Very Torquee made a promising debut at Wangaratta, finishing 3rd over 1100m on a Soft 7 track. The Ben Brisbourne-trained gelding should improve second-up and has the tactical speed to overcome the wider draw. With Lachlan King retaining the ride, he maps to settle midfield and should be strong through the line with natural improvement.
First-starter Cosmic Dynasty represents the Shane Nichols & Hayden Black stable with the significant booking of Blaike McDougall suggesting stable confidence. The application of a cross-over nose band and tongue tie first time indicates they're expecting a professional debut. Maps to settle midfield and should be strong through the line if showing natural ability.
Hayes-trained debutant Shyamalan comes to the races with the benefit of blinkers and a lugging bit first time, suggesting they're expecting a professional debut. The booking of Liam Riordan is significant, and from barrier 5, he should be able to take up a forward position. Likely to show natural speed and be in the finish if handling race pressure.
Dalsicon showed improvement last start when finishing 3rd at this track over 1100m. Now second-up from a spell and drawn perfectly in barrier 2, the D J O'Prey-trained mare should get every chance.

Turnaquid brings rock-solid form to this contest with consecutive second placings and a strong record at the distance. While she hasn't won at Wodonga, she has placed here and should appreciate the fast tempo predicted.
Kattegat drops significantly in class after racing in much stronger company. While carrying top weight is a concern, the class relief compensates, and his proven ability on Good tracks makes him a genuine winning chance.
Rowdy Anthem brings the advantage of track experience with a win at Wodonga from two attempts. His recent form has been consistent with a 3rd placing just 8 days ago.
While the wide barrier is a concern, her consistent placing record at this distance and ability to run on strongly make her well-suited to the likely fast tempo. With three third placings from her last five starts, she represents genuine each-way value.

Drawn ideally in barrier 3 for Wodonga's tight-turning track, he should get a perfect run in midfield. Second-up today and appears to have improved significantly this preparation. The fast tempo should suit his strong finishing style.
Perfectly drawn in barrier 2 for this track configuration, he should get an economical run. The fast tempo should suit his running style and Blaike McDougall is a strong jockey booking.
Perfectly drawn in barrier 1 for this track configuration and carries just 54kg. While facing a significant class rise, she's an improving mare who should get the perfect run from the inside gate.
Adki comes off a strong win at this track in similar grade and brings consistent recent form (1-2-3-4-5 in last 5 starts). The likely fast tempo should suit her racing pattern and she has the experience to overcome the awkward barrier draw.

Trinity's D'oro brings the strongest recent form into this race with a win and two placings from her last three starts. Though stepping up in class, she's shown progressive improvement and appears to be hitting peak form at the right time. Her last start 2nd at Traralgon over 1430m suggests she'll handle the step up to 1590m, and Brad Rawiller is a positive jockey booking.
Her recent 3rd at Tumut over the mile was solid, and she has the advantage of being a previous winner at this track. With just 54kg and Faith Collins aboard, she maps to get a good run from barrier 5 and should be strong through the line.
Kerma Art comes off a strong 2nd at Wagga and has a solid record at this distance with 1 win, 3 seconds and 2 thirds from 12 starts. The blinkers going back on is a positive gear change, and Blaike McDougall is a strong booking. From barrier 7, he should get a good run in midfield and be finishing strongly.
His second-up record suggests improvement, and he has a solid record at this distance with 2 wins and 3 seconds from 12 starts. The addition of concussion plates may help, and Liam Riordan is a positive jockey booking.
