Laguna Seca brings the strongest recent form, finishing 2nd at this track and distance 15 days ago. Has excellent track statistics with a second and third from two starts at Queanbeyan over 1200m. The addition of blinkers for the first time could provide the edge needed to go one better. Handles the Good track well (11:2-1-4) and has the tactical speed to overcome the wide draw.
Smashing Lulu drops significantly in class after racing in stronger company. Her win two starts back at Moruya shows she has ability when placed appropriately. The 3yo filly has a good win rate (33%) and gets an ideal draw in barrier 2, which is advantageous at Queanbeyan's tight-turning track.
Anthracia boasts an impressive record at Queanbeyan with 4 wins from 10 starts, though all victories have come over shorter trips. While she's rising in class and is yet to win at 1200m, her track knowledge and tactical speed make her a genuine place chance in this field.
Papaver Miner represents genuine value after a strong 2nd place finish just 7 days ago. The quick backup suggests fitness, and his record at the distance (31:3-2-1) is respectable. While his track record is poor, he carries just 52kg and has shown glimpses of form with a 3rd place three starts back.

Her previous second placing over 1600m at Kembla Grange was full of merit, and she's shown ability to handle good tracks with a 1-1-2 record from 6 starts. The step up to 2000m looks suitable based on her racing pattern, and she gets in well at the weights with Jess Taylor aboard.
Has a strong record on good tracks (2-3-5 from 20 starts) and has proven ability at similar distances. While his win strike rate is modest (3 from 31), he's a reliable place-getter (5 seconds, 6 thirds) and should appreciate the moderate tempo. Barrier 9 is a concern at this tight track, but his tactical versatility should help overcome it.
Local specialist with an excellent record at Queanbeyan (2-1-1 from 6 starts) and draws the perfect barrier 1. His last start 6th was disappointing but prior to that he won well over 1460m at this track. The step up to 2000m is a query but his front-running style and inside draw give him every chance to control the race. Good track record (3-1-1 from 8 starts) is another positive, though the 61kg is a significant impost.
Improving gelding coming off a strong 2nd at Muswellbrook over 1750m just 7 days ago. While he's facing a class rise and is unproven at 2000m, his recent form suggests he's ready for the step up in distance. Has a modest record on good tracks (0-1-1 from 7 starts) but is generally consistent.

Shuttering brings the strongest form references, having competed in Open company at Scone. The significant class drop to a country maiden is substantial. The filly has drawn perfectly in barrier 2 on a track that strongly favors inside gates, and the addition of winkers first time should sharpen her focus. First-up form is the query, but the stable typically has them ready to fire fresh.
The gelding is second-up today which should see natural improvement, and the significant class drop from metropolitan racing is a major plus. The wide barrier is the main concern on this tight-turning track.
Tomcat Flowers brings consistency with 3 seconds and 1 third from 11 starts. Recent form is solid with a 5th last start at Nowra. The extreme outside barrier is the main concern on this tight-turning track.
The gelding has a strong second-up record with 2 thirds from 3 attempts and experience at this track with a second placing. The significant class drop is a major plus, and Richard Bensley is a strong booking. The wide barrier is the main concern.

Tis No Man showed promise on debut with a solid 4th at this track. Draws perfectly in barrier 2 which is crucial at Queanbeyan's tight-turning track. Jess Taylor is a strong booking and the horse should be able to use the inside draw to settle on pace, which is advantageous at this venue. The lack of experience is the main concern, but there's clear upside potential.
Casino Shaw brings the strongest recent form into this race, finishing a close second last start at Sapphire Coast. Shows a consistent pattern of improvement and should be well positioned midfield with the expected fast tempo. The inside barriers advantage at Queanbeyan should help her cause from barrier 8.
Justwatchher showed ability two starts back with a strong 3rd at Canberra. The significant class drop is a major positive, and she should appreciate the fast tempo expected. Jack Martin is a capable jockey who knows how to ride this track. The main concern is her disappointing last start, but the class relief could see her bounce back.
The fast tempo should suit his running style, and he has experience at similar distances with 4 starts around this trip. Adrian Layt is an experienced jockey who knows this track well.

Man From Brussells has an excellent record at Queanbeyan with 2 wins from 5 starts. He won at this track two starts back over 1000m and gets the perfect inside draw for this tight-turning track. While he disappointed last start over 1200m, the drop back to 900m should suit his early speed. Mathew Cahill knows how to ride this track perfectly and should give him every chance from the inside gate.
Oakeys Choice comes off a last-start win at this track over 1000m and has strong recent form. The wide barrier is a concern at this tight track, but he has enough early speed to overcome it. Ryan Bradley retains the ride after their last-start success.
Twin Telepathy won his only start at this track and has a good first-up record with 1 win from 3 attempts. The main concerns are the top weight of 60.5kg and the significant class rise. Trainer J M Cleary has him ready first-up after a 115-day spell.
Bold Offa comes off a last-start win over 800m at Narromine and has an improving form trend. He has experience over the 900m trip with 2 wins from 9 starts.

The mare is a proven Queanbeyan performer with a win from her only start at the track, and should get an ideal on-pace position from barrier 5. The drop in class from Open company is significant, and her consistent recent form suggests she's ready to win.
Vermicella brings consistent form to this race with placings in her last three starts. Her excellent record on soft tracks (3 wins from 7 starts) could be relevant if there's any moisture in the track, and she's well-weighted with 56kg. The slight class rise is the main concern.
Wal's Angels brings excellent recent form to this race with a win and two seconds from his last three starts. While he faces a significant class rise here, his consistent performances suggest he can be competitive. His versatile racing style should allow him to adapt to the tight-turning Queanbeyan track despite having no previous experience here. The main concerns are his lack of wins at the distance and the class rise.
She's coming off a last-start win at this track and has drawn perfectly in barrier 2.

The 7-day backup suggests peak fitness, and she gets in well at the weights compared to main rivals. Perfectly suited to run on strongly.
Cosmic Ride brings strong credentials with a last-start 2nd at this track and distance. While the 61.5kg is a concern, her tactical versatility should allow her to overcome the barrier and position well in running.
Tycoon Artie brings a solid win record and consistent form pattern to this race. The inside barrier draw is advantageous at Queanbeyan, and the removal of blinkers could help him settle better in the early stages. While the 61kg is a concern, he's dropping in class which offsets this somewhat. His tactical speed gives him options from the good draw.
Tillman represents excellent value given his current form, with consecutive 2nd placings followed by a win two starts back. His record at Queanbeyan is solid with three placings from six attempts, and he's proven on Good tracks. The wide barrier is a concern, but his closing style should be suited by the expected fast tempo, and the class drop is significant.
