Turpin's Torment brings valuable track experience with 3 placings from 12 starts at Grafton. His recent 3rd at Port Macquarie shows he's in form, and the drop to 53.5kg is significant. While he's yet to win from 41 starts, his consistency at the track and proven ability on soft going make him a solid place chance.

The removal of ear muffs could sharpen him up, and from barrier 5 with just 54kg, he should get every chance. While yet to place from 5 starts, his recent form suggests a breakthrough is near.

Crashmyplaya brings solid consistency with placings in his last three starts. His recent third at this track on a heavy surface suggests he'll handle today's conditions, though he's yet to place on soft going specifically. The barrier draw is favorable, but he must overcome top weight of 59kg. His experience and recent form make him a genuine contender, though his lack of a winning record is a concern.

Joanjett is an interesting first-starter from the Matthew Dunn stable. Well-drawn in barrier 5 and carries just 54kg. The Dunn stable has a good record with debutants, and this filly warrants serious consideration.

Woodland Wonder won impressively last start over this distance at this track and has a perfect record at this track and distance (1-0-0). His overall track record is strong with two wins from six starts. The lightweight and improving form trend are positives, though the class rise and limited soft track form are concerns. Still, his course-specific form makes him a genuine contender.

Lightly-raced 3YO who has shown significant promise in both career starts, winning impressively last time on soft ground.
