Custom Plumbing (Bm65)
Second-up today after a solid 4th at Wyong over 1600m, she should appreciate stepping up to 2000m where she's previously performed creditably. The main concern is her lack of wins at the distance.
Her recent form is progressive with a win two starts back over 2000m. She's drawn perfectly in barrier 1 which should give her every chance from a backmarker position. With a win and a second from two starts at the distance, she's proven at the trip and gets in with just 55.5kg.
His recent form includes a close 3rd at Hawkesbury over this distance two starts back. While carrying top weight is a concern, he's proven capable under similar weights previously.

Geocon Standout Performers Of The Year Plate (C1)
Simply Nutbush brings the strongest recent form, winning impressively at Canberra 12 days ago over 1400m. The step up to 1600m looks suitable based on his racing pattern, and he's proven on soft tracks with a win from 5 starts. Well-drawn in barrier 2 with Shaun Guymer retaining the ride.
Her recent form is rock solid with three consecutive placings including a close 3rd over 1500m last start. The barrier 1 draw is ideal at Canberra's mile start, and she gets in with just 55kg.
She's a previous mile winner and has been racing consistently with placings in her last three starts. Nick Heywood is a positive jockey booking, though she is rising in class and remains unproven on soft tracks. Her recent form suggests she's ready to perform well.
The blinkers off gear change is significant for a horse stepping up to the mile, suggesting trainer Matthew Smith is looking for him to settle better.

Mikolo Bricklaying (Bm50)
Her last 600m times are consistently strong, and she's placed in 3 of her last 4 starts. While first-up from a spell, she drops in class and has a strong record at this distance. The soft track should suit based on her wet track performances.
Her recent form has been consistent, and she gets an advantageous draw in barrier 2.
She's been racing consistently with multiple placings in recent starts and drops significantly in class here. The barrier draw is favorable, though she carries top weight and is unproven on soft tracks. Her overall profile suggests she'll be competitive.
She comes into this second-up from a spell with a solid 3rd placing last start.

Her only career start resulted in a close second at Kembla Grange, showing natural ability. First-up from a spell but demonstrated she can perform fresh last preparation. Drawn perfectly in barrier 3 to take up a forward position in a race with moderate tempo. The Archibald stable has a good record with their maidens.
Drawn ideally in barrier 4 with experienced jockey Shaun Guymer aboard, she should get a perfect midfield position in a moderately-paced race. The gear application (ear muffs pre-race only) suggests connections are focused on race day manners.
Her soft track record shows adaptability to today's conditions with 2 starts for 1 placing. Recent racing (14 days since last run) ensures fitness, and her consistent place record (2 from 5 starts) suggests reliability. Barrier 11 is the main concern.
From the Richard Litt stable, this runner draws favorably in barrier 7, which aligns with the track bias favoring middle barriers. The gear application (ear muffs pre-race only and lugging bit) suggests connections are focused on race day performance. Adam Farragher is a capable jockey who should position this runner ideally in midfield.

Camilla has been knocking on the door with three consecutive 2nd placings. Has proven form at this distance with 2 seconds from 3 attempts and should get a good run from barrier 9 with Donovan Dillon aboard.
Sir Tua showed significant improvement last start with a close 3rd at Kembla Grange. Being second-up from a spell suggests natural improvement, and Shaun Guymer is a positive jockey booking. Ready to peak today.
Lethal Love brings the strongest recent form to this race with two 3rd placings from her last three starts. The step up to 1300m looks ideal based on her finishing efforts, and the 55.5kg is a significant advantage. Brock Ryan is a positive jockey booking.
The addition of winkers for the first time could be the key gear change to sharpen him up. Showed ability with a 3rd placing two starts back and has Jeff Penza aboard.

Her recent form is strong with a 2nd place finish just 7 days ago. With an excellent soft track record (7:3-2-0) and drawn perfectly in barrier 1, she's well-positioned to capitalize on her early speed.
The significant weight advantage at 52kg is a major plus, and he maps to get a good midfield position. While unproven at this track and with a moderate soft track record, his recent win at 1200m and overall 21% win rate suggest he's a genuine contender despite the class rise.
His strong record at this distance (28:3-5-4) and proven soft track performance (27:5-3-4) are significant positives. While barrier 10 isn't ideal and his track record is unimpressive, his experience and consistency (30% place rate) make him a solid each-way prospect despite the class rise.
Second-up from spell with a solid second-up record (5:0-0-1) and drawn well in barrier 4, he's positioned to improve on his recent 5th place finish.

The return to blinkers is a positive gear change, and he drops 3kg from his last start.
The significant class drop is a major positive, and the addition of blinkers for the first time should sharpen him up. His soft track record (1-0-0 from 2) is suitable for today's conditions.
Well-drawn in barrier 7 and carrying just 56kg, she has tactical advantages. While rising in class is a concern, her good track record (1-0-3 from 7) suggests she can be competitive. The 13-day spacing between runs is ideal for maintaining fitness.
Well-drawn in barrier 5 and with a strong soft track record (2-0-0 from 6), she's well-suited to today's conditions. While she's mostly raced in lower class, her proven ability at the distance (1-0-0 from 4) and tactical versatility make her an appealing each-way proposition.
