Zocketman brings an unblemished record to this race, having won both career starts impressively. Second-up today after a dominant win at Beaumont, he's drawn perfectly in barrier 1 which is crucial at Rosehill's 1200m start. The Freedman stable places their horses well and this looks a logical progression.
Nitro was impressive winning on debut at Warwick Farm, showing good tactical speed. The Snowden-trained gelding maps to be on pace which is advantageous at Rosehill's 1200m start. While barrier 9 isn't ideal, his early speed should allow him to cross and find a position. The main query is his ability on soft ground, but his natural talent could overcome this.
The Joseph Pride-trained filly gets the services of Zac Lloyd and carries just 55kg. The main concern is barrier 8 which may force her to get back in the field, making her task more difficult at Rosehill. Her closing speed is a significant asset if the pace is genuine.
His soft track record is solid with a win, and barrier 3 gives him options. While his last run was poor, he was competing in stronger company and the Ryan/Alexiou stable can improve their runners quickly.

The Waterhouse & Bott-trained colt has drawn well in barrier 4 which should allow Tim Clark to position him ideally in the likely fast-tempo race. The step up to 1400m looks suitable and he appears the most progressive runner in this maiden field.
Miss Lola has shown consistent form with a second and third from her three career starts. The Chris Waller-trained filly gets the addition of blinkers which should help her focus, and Jason Collett is a positive jockey booking. The wide barrier is the main concern.
Yattazou has been gradually improving and comes off a solid third placing at this track and distance on a soft track. With Kerrin McEvoy aboard and carrying just 54.5kg, she looks well-placed to run into the placings again in this maiden field.

Snitzel Miss brings the strongest form credentials to this maiden, having placed 3rd in both the Group 3 Widden Stakes and Group 2 Sweet Embrace Stakes at her only two starts. While the wide barrier is a concern, her class should overcome this disadvantage.
Plaintiff represents the Snowden stable who excel with well-prepared first starters. The favorable barrier draw (5) is ideal for Rosehill's 1200m start where inside positions are advantageous. The application of winkers first time indicates connections expect focus to be beneficial.
The Ciaron Maher stable is adept at placing their horses to advantage, and the booking of Zac Lloyd is a positive. As an Exceed And Excel filly, she should handle the 1200m journey well. The wider barrier is a concern, but with the expected fast tempo, she could find a position with cover and finish strongly.
The significant class drop from stakes level to maiden grade is a major advantage. While her last start was disappointing, the stable gear changes (cross-over nose band, ear muffs pre-race) suggest they're addressing any issues.

Consistent mare who has been racing in good form with a close second last start at Hawkesbury over 1400m. The Michael Freedman-trained runner handles soft ground and gets the services of Jason Collett. The weight is a concern but she's racing well enough to overcome it.
Lightly-raced filly from the powerful Waterhouse/Bott stable who was impressive winning on debut at Kembla Grange. She's drawn well and gets the services of Rachel King. The step up in distance and class are significant queries, but she's open to considerable improvement and represents the powerful Waterhouse/Bott stable who excel with progressive fillies.
Progressive 3YO filly who was impressive winning first-up at Rosehill over 1400m on soft ground. She's perfectly suited by the likely fast tempo and should get an ideal run from barrier 3. Her second-up record is perfect and she's shown ability on soft tracks. The class rise is significant but she appears to have plenty of upside and looks ready for the 1500m.
Lightly-raced mare from the John O'Shea stable who ran a solid fourth first-up at Hawkesbury. The wide barrier is a concern but she should get back and be running on strongly.

Mortal Halo brings strong credentials dropping back from Group 1 company where he was outclassed but showed ability. His recent win at Scone was impressive and he's well-placed second-up with a significant weight advantage. The inside draw is perfect for Rosehill's 1500m start, and Reece Jones should give him every chance from barrier 1. The class drop is substantial and makes him the clear standout.
She's dropping in class from her last start and has shown versatility in her racing pattern. Chad Schofield knows how to position her, and with a good run, she should be fighting out the finish.
He's shown consistent improvement with consecutive placings and gets the services of Tommy Berry from a perfect barrier 2 draw. The Chris Waller factor can't be ignored, though he's unproven on soft tracks and is rising significantly in class. His raw ability makes him a genuine contender.
His proven soft track form (10:1-2-0) adds further confidence if conditions remain soft.

Due Calzini brings excellent soft track credentials (3-2-3 from 10 starts) and drops significantly in class after a narrow second in open company at Canberra. His tactical versatility from barrier 4 should allow him to settle midfield in a moderately-fast tempo race. The 1800m is new territory but his strong performances up to 2500m suggest it will suit. With consistent recent form and proven ability in metropolitan company, he represents the strongest winning chance.
Agita drops significantly in class after racing in BM88 company and has a win at this distance. His victory over 1800m at Randwick five starts back demonstrates his ability at this trip. While his soft track record is modest and his Rosehill performances underwhelming, the class drop is significant. From barrier 2, Tom Sherry should position him ideally in the running line. His recent form has been mixed but the easier company gives him strong place claims.
While his win strike rate is modest, he's a consistent placegetter with 5 seconds from 17 starts. The moderate-fast tempo should suit his backmarker style, though barrier 10 is a concern. His soft track credentials (1-1-0 from 4 starts) are solid, and with Zac Lloyd aboard, he should be finishing strongly in the straight.
While his overall record is modest, he's performed at metropolitan level previously and has the tactical speed to take advantage of barrier 5.

Comes off a strong second placing in BM78 grade and has been racing consistently. Drawn to get an ideal run from barrier 5 and has proven effective on soft tracks with a win from two attempts. The step up to 1300m is the query, but his racing pattern suggests it should suit.
Four-year-old mare resuming from a spell with a strong fresh record. Previous third placing at Rosehill indicates track suitability, and her consistency (50% place rate) is a positive. The class rise is the main concern, but her raw ability suggests she can measure up.
Three-year-old colt dropping significantly in class after competing in Group races earlier in his career. Comes off an impressive maiden win at Scone where he showed good tactical speed. Second-up pattern suits, carrying a light weight, and has proven adaptable to soft conditions. The class drop is the key factor here, and he appears well-placed to continue his progression.
Four-year-old mare with excellent recent form, coming off a close second at this track just two weeks ago.
