The John O'Shea & Tom Charlton-trained filly should appreciate the fast tempo expected here, allowing her to unleash a strong finishing burst. The addition of a lugging bit suggests connections are addressing minor racing manners, which could yield improvement. Well-placed to break through.

Captivating Tycoon showed ability on debut when finishing 4th at this track and distance just two weeks ago. The addition of a cross-over nose band suggests connections are looking to sharpen his focus. Likely to be prominent from the outset.
The perfect inside draw suggests connections will be looking to utilize natural speed, and the stable is renowned for having their horses ready to perform first-up.

Lull brings the strongest form credentials, dropping significantly in class from Open company races. Her fresh record is perfect with 1 win from 1 attempt, and she's proven at Kembla Grange with a win. The Maher stable is in good form, and while the outside barrier is a slight concern, her class edge should overcome this.
Diva Las Vegas won impressively on debut and returns from a lengthy 602-day spell. The Michael Freedman stable is adept at having horses ready first-up (as evidenced by her debut win), and the addition of ear muffs pre-race suggests they're managing her temperament. The likely fast tempo should suit her running style.
Brown Sugar was impressive winning on debut at this track and distance just 14 days ago. While this represents a significant class rise from maiden grade, she gets in with just 55kg and has the advantage of race fitness. The Adam Duggan stable has a good record with progressive types, and she looks a genuine threat.
The significant gear changes (barrier blanket, cross-over nose band, ear muffs pre-race) suggest the stable is addressing issues, and she could improve dramatically.
No result was recorded for this race.

The perfect inside draw suits perfectly with the track bias favoring barriers 1-6. While first-up from a spell, she's placed in 3 of 8 career starts and the blinkers coming off could spark improvement. The Edward Cummings-trained mare represents the best winning chance.
Marebello showed ability when placing second at this track on a soft surface last preparation. The gelding is well drawn in barrier 4 which suits the current track bias favoring inside barriers. Significant gear changes (winkers on, tongue tie on) suggest the trainer is targeting improvement. While first-up from a spell and carrying top weight, his previous track experience and soft track placing make him a genuine contender.
Velia brings consistent form with 2 placings from 5 career starts and has the fitness advantage of being second-up from a spell. The mare is well drawn in barrier 6 which suits the current track bias favoring inside barriers. While yet to win, she has shown ability to place consistently and has experienced jockey Grant Buckley aboard.
Audenzia represents excellent value with her outstanding track record (0-4-1 from 8 starts at Kembla Grange) and strong track/distance credentials (0-2-1 from 3 starts).

War King brings the strongest recent form into this race with a 3rd at Kembla Grange two starts back followed by a solid 4th at Rosehill. The Maher stable is in good form, and while he's yet to win, he looks ready to break through stepping up to the mile.
Like Anything brings solid form with a 3rd placing last start over the mile at Wyong. She's dropping significantly in class from an Open company race earlier in her preparation and has drawn well in barrier 3. Louise Day knows her well.
The step up to the mile looks ideal based on his finishing effort, and Brock Ryan stays aboard.
He's placed at this track previously and has the experienced Keagan Latham aboard. The step up to 1600m is the query, but his racing pattern suggests it will suit, and he's drawn to get a good run in midfield.

Beer Carpenter Racing Mdn Plate
From barrier 7, she's drawn to get a perfect midfield position in a race with likely fast tempo.
Fuadee brings solid form credentials with a close second at Hawkesbury followed by a respectable 4th at Canterbury. From barrier 4, he should get an ideal run in transit.
Now second-up and with natural improvement expected, he represents strong each-way claims despite the wide barrier. His previous placing at this track is a positive, and the Gary Portelli stable knows how to prepare a winner. The barrier is the main concern.
Acharnee represents the best value in the race as a Bjorn Baker-trained first-starter drawn perfectly in barrier 2. Baker has an excellent record with debutants, and the booking of Adam Farragher is significant. The pre-race ear muffs suggest good temperament, and from the inside gate, expect this runner to show early speed and potentially lead or sit prominently in a race favoring on-pace runners.

Skin Revival (Bm64)
Tom Cruising brings the strongest recent form into this race with back-to-back wins at his last two starts. He drops in class from his last start win in the same grade and has proven track credentials with two wins at Kembla Grange. His ability to handle soft conditions is a significant advantage, and while the weight is a concern, his consistency at the distance (3-2-1 from 15 starts) makes him the standout selection.
Scorched Lane brings solid consistent form with consecutive second placings. The Freedman-trained gelding is well-weighted and drawn to get an ideal run from barrier 5. While he lacks experience at the track and distance, his tactical versatility should allow him to settle in a good position regardless of tempo. His soft track record (0-2-1 from 3 starts) suggests he'll handle conditions, making him a genuine winning chance.
Tequisoda is a lightly-raced and progressive 3YO from the Brad Widdup stable. Second-up today (where he has a perfect 1-from-1 record), he's stepping up significantly in class but has shown enough ability in his brief career to suggest he can measure up. His soft track credentials (1-1-0 from 2 starts) are a positive, and with Christian Reith aboard from a good draw, he should get every chance.
Devine Outcast represents excellent value after a strong second placing last start at Kembla Grange. The mare has solid track experience with three placings from 12 starts and handles soft conditions well (1-2-0 from 6 starts). While her second-up record isn't outstanding, she drops in weight to 55kg and has proven ability at the distance with one win and three placings from nine attempts.

Express Smash Repairs Midway Hcp (C1)
The significant class drop to a provincial Class 1 makes her well-placed, and her adaptable racing style should overcome the wide barrier.
Elivina brings solid credentials as a second-up specialist who performed well when runner-up at this track and class last start. Her soft track credentials (1 win from 3 starts) are a significant positive given the conditions, and she's well-placed from barrier 6.
Ellismayne is a progressive 3YO who has shown significant improvement in recent starts, winning a maiden two back before a close second in Class 1 company at this track. The step up to 1400m is the query, but his racing pattern suggests it should suit.
His last start third in the same class was solid, and he typically improves second-up.

Complete Warehouse Solutions Provincial (Bm68)
Her last-start 5th at Rosehill showed she's ready to peak, and her perfect record at Kembla Grange (3: 1-1-1) is compelling. Well-drawn in barrier 5 with a manageable weight, she maps to get an ideal midfield position in a race with genuine tempo. The class rise is offset by her progressive profile and proven soft track ability.
His excellent record at the distance (10: 4-2-0) and strong soft track credentials (9: 4-1-1) make him perfectly suited to today's conditions. The consistent gelding has a strong overall record with 10 wins from 29 starts and should appreciate dropping back in class. Barrier 7 allows options in a race with genuine tempo.
House Of Cards returns second-up with a strong record in this pattern (4: 0-0-2). His excellent track credentials (3: 1-0-1) including a win at this track and distance are significant positives. Coming back from higher class races, he should find this more suitable despite the 77-day break between runs. Barrier 9 requires some luck, but his tactical versatility should allow him to find a good position. The soft track is the main query with a limited record (5: 0-0-1).
Well-drawn in barrier 3, he should secure a forward position in a race with genuine tempo. While his win strike rate is modest at 13%, his place percentage of 28% suggests he regularly runs well. The 25-day freshen-up looks ideal for this assignment.
