Patonga brings the strongest recent form into this race with an excellent last-start second at Hawkesbury over 1400m. The Nash Rawiller booking is significant, and with natural improvement third-up, he looks primed to break through.
Riez Souvent has been knocking on the door with a strong second last start at Rosehill over 1400m. Zac Lloyd maintains the ride which is a positive, and he should be right in the finish with natural improvement third-up. The step up to 1550m looks suitable.
Saloon Passage brings solid credentials with a third placing last start over this track and distance. Tyler Schiller takes the ride which is a positive, and she should be finishing strongly.
Tutto represents excellent value after a strong third placing last start at Rosehill. He's second-up from a spell which should see natural improvement, and the Tim Clark booking is significant.

The application of blinkers for the first time should provide the focus needed to break through.
The significant class drop from Group company to a maiden is a major advantage, and she's perfectly drawn in barrier 3. Second-up pattern suits and she should be right in the finish.
Our Huntress showed promise on debut when finishing a close second at Kembla Grange. The engagement of Tim Clark is a major positive, and from barrier 6 she should get the perfect trailing run. The stable is in good form and she represents solid each-way value.
Tennessee Dolly is the clear value runner in this field. The wide barrier is a concern, but with a fast tempo likely, she can settle back and run on strongly.

The filly is perfectly positioned to improve second-up and should get an ideal midfield position from barrier 11 with the fast tempo predicted to suit her finishing style. Jason Collett takes the ride and the Richard Litt stable has been in good form.
The Chris Waller-trained filly gets the services of Kerrin McEvoy and should appreciate the fast tempo predicted. From barrier 5, she should secure a midfield position and be finishing strongly.
The John O'Shea & Tom Charlton-trained filly gets the services of in-form jockey Zac Lloyd and the addition of a lugging bit should help her finish off strongly. From barrier 8, she'll likely settle back in the field and be running on strongly with the fast tempo predicted to suit backmarkers.
Tommy Berry takes the ride and from barrier 4, she should get a nice trailing position.

Progressive 3yo filly who has won her last two starts impressively. Perfect second-up record and drawn ideally in barrier 1 with Zac Lloyd aboard. Has the tactical speed to utilize the draw and should get the perfect run. The class rise is offset by her progressive profile.
Consistent mare with an impressive record of 3 wins from 5 starts. Has to carry top weight but has proven capable under similar weights previously.
Last start winner at this track and distance who is showing an improving form trend. Has a strong record at Canterbury with a win and a third from two starts. Perfectly drawn in barrier 2 with Kerrin McEvoy aboard. The class rise is a concern but her local track knowledge and perfect draw offset this. Should get an ideal run from the barrier.
Second-up today with natural improvement expected. Jason Collett takes the ride which is a positive. The wide barrier is a concern but she has the tactical speed to overcome it.

Oakfield Wallaby brings the strongest form credentials with a 33% win rate and excellent recent performances. The mare is well-drawn in barrier 3 with top jockey Tommy Berry aboard, and should get an ideal run in midfield. The step up to 1900m looks suitable based on her strong 1600m performances.
Sosino brings strong recent form with consecutive 3rd placings in stronger company. The gelding drops significantly in class from BM78 to BM72 and gets the perfect inside draw. While carrying top weight is a concern, Braith Nock's claim helps offset this. The good track is less ideal than soft/heavy, but his class edge compensates.
Chateaux Park brings excellent recent form with back-to-back wins and a proven record at both track and distance. His Canterbury record (1-3-2 from 14) and specific track/distance stats (1-3-1 from 9) are significant advantages. Rachel King retains the ride after their last-start win here. The wide barrier is a concern, but his recent form and track knowledge offset this.
He's well-weighted with 54.5kg and has Tyler Schiller aboard, who rode him last start. While the wide barrier is a concern, his recent form suggests he's ready to win, and the step up in class is offset by his weight advantage. His consistency (6-7-6 from 40 starts) adds further appeal.

Second-up today with a perfect record in that pattern, she gets in with just 56kg and appears well-placed despite the class rise. The very fast tempo should suit her finishing burst.
She's drawn perfectly in barrier 2 which should allow her to secure a good position in the run. While her win strike rate is modest, her consistency is a plus, and the drop in class from her last start is significant. Tim Clark is a positive jockey booking.
With just 3 career starts for 1 win and 2 placings, she's on a steep upward trajectory. The barrier 4 draw is ideal, and the booking of Tommy Berry is significant. While this represents a class rise, her raw ability suggests she can measure up.
He's coming off a strong 2nd placing last start in the same grade and has a solid second-up record with 1 win from 3 attempts. The significant class drop from earlier preparations is a major plus, and his record on good tracks (2 wins from 5 starts) suggests today's conditions will suit. While drawn wide, the very fast tempo should allow him to find cover and finish strongly.

The likely fast tempo should suit his versatile racing pattern, and he appears ready to peak second-up.
Balkans brings strong Canterbury form credentials with 2 wins and 1 second from 7 starts at this track. He's proven at this class level and has been racing consistently with placings in his last three starts. Barrier 4 gives him tactical options.
Mogo Magic drops significantly in class after racing in Open company. His overall record is impressive with 6 wins from 17 starts (35%), and he's particularly effective at this distance with a 1-1-1 record from 3 attempts. While he carries top weight from a wide barrier, his class edge and proven ability on good tracks make him a genuine contender.
He's particularly effective second-up with 2 wins from 4 attempts and boasts an impressive 64% place strike rate overall.

The mare is second-up here with an impressive second-up record of 3:0-2-1. She's versatile in racing pattern, handles all track conditions, and is dropping in class. The fast tempo should suit her finishing style.
Verbil brings strong credentials with a win last start over this track and distance. His overall record of 9:4-2-2 is impressive, and he's proven on good tracks (6:3-2-1). While facing a class rise and carrying top weight, his tactical speed gives him options in a race with likely fast tempo. The wide draw is a concern but his class may overcome it.
Ivan's Hero comes off a last-start win over this distance and brings consistent recent form with placings in his previous two starts. The gelding gets in with a lightweight and has the services of experienced jockey Kerrin McEvoy.
