Our price $7.50 · SP $8.50 · Nozi Tomizawa

Hypothermia brings excellent track credentials (9: 2-2-1) and consecutive runner-up finishes including last start at this track. Has proven soft track ability (9: 2-1-0) though heavy is a question. Gets in with just 55kg and draws well in barrier 4.

Keep It Loki comes off a last-start win at Lismore over 1526m just 11 days ago. This progressive gelding is attempting 1600m for the first time but his racing pattern suggests the distance will suit. Has shown ability on soft tracks (3: 1-1-0) though heavy is a question mark. The good barrier and light weight offset the class rise.

Our price $6.50 · SP $17.00 · Ben Looker

Eject represents value coming off a last-start third at Moree over this distance. The significant class drop is the key factor, having raced in much stronger company previously. Has a solid record at the trip (3: 1-0-1) and while the wide barrier is a concern, the experienced Ben Looker should give him every chance. The heavy track is the main query.

Our price $3.50 · SP $4.20 · Nozi Tomizawa

Mahmoa brings solid credentials as a second-up runner after a strong 2nd placing last start over this exact distance. The barrier draw is favorable, and he should get a good run in transit.

Our price $15.00 · SP $41.00 · Raymond Spokes

Progressive stayer who is building an impressive record with 2 wins and 3 placings from 13 starts. Has been placed in his last 4 starts showing excellent consistency. The step up in class is offset by his progressive profile and strong recent form. Well drawn in barrier 2 with a top jockey aboard.

Our price $5.50 · SP $9.00 · Bailie Baker

Consistent performer with an excellent record at Grafton (3 wins from 4 starts). Form has been solid with 5 wins from his last 10 starts.

Our price $6.00 · SP $9.50 · Ben Looker

Consistent performer who has found form with three consecutive second placings. Has a strong record on heavy tracks with 1 win, 1 second and 1 third from 4 starts.

Our price $3.20 · SP $4.40 · Luke Rolls

Lightly-raced gelding showing excellent progression with a dominant last-start win at this track. Has won at this track from 3 attempts and appears well-placed to handle the step up in class. The heavy track is the main query but his adaptability suggests he can handle it.

Our price $4.00 · SP $3.90 · Jai Williams

Talented filly coming off a strong win at Lismore. Has been racing in stronger company and drops back in class here. Drawn well in barrier 5 and likely to be on speed which is advantageous. The heavy track is somewhat of a query with only one heavy track run resulting in a third placing. The weight is a concern but her class edge and tactical speed should offset this.

Our price $3.80 · SP $4.20 · Bella Youngberry

Lady Alabama brings the strongest recent form into this race with consecutive wins followed by a close second just 11 days ago. The fast tempo should suit her midfield running style, allowing her to finish strongly. While rising in class is a concern, her current form suggests she can handle it.

Our price $4.20 · SP $5.50 · Jett Newman

Gaming comes into this race with impressive back-to-back wins and has shown ability at Grafton with a 2-0-1 record from 6 starts. The good barrier draw should allow him to take up a forward position. The class rise is the main concern, but his current form suggests he's ready for the challenge.
