11Tapagal
The David Vandyke-trained filly draws perfectly in barrier 1 and should get an economical run throughout. With Damien Thornton aboard, she represents solid each-way value.
3rd pickScratched
10My Charm
The Chris Waller-trained filly is on an upward trajectory and should appreciate the step up to the mile. The fast tempo predicted suits her backmarker style, and the addition of a cross-over noseband for the first time suggests connections are expecting improvement. With top jockey Kyle Wilson-Taylor aboard, she represents the strongest winning chance.
Value pick7th
4He's Got Grunt
He's Got Grunt comes off a placing over 1700m at Ipswich on a Heavy 8 track, suggesting stamina won't be an issue. The Archibald-trained gelding draws well in barrier 4 and should get a good run midfield with Ryan Maloney aboard.

5Up And Comer
Mare who drops in class after racing in stronger BM64 company last start. Has strong second-up statistics with a win from five attempts and has placed twice from three runs at this distance. Gets the services of top jockey Ryan Maloney and should appreciate the step up in trip. Well-weighted and represents the best winning chance in this field.
2nd pickWon
2Loyalty Counts
Gelding with an excellent record at Sunshine Coast track (2-1-1 from 7 starts) though unproven at this distance. Well-drawn in barrier 3 but carries top weight of 60kg. Should be right in the finish but the distance is the query.
3rd pickNo result
7La Gracia
Improving mare who finished a close second last start over a similar distance. Steps up significantly in class but gets in well at the weights with 56kg and has drawn favorably in barrier 4. Still a maiden after 11 starts but showing signs of breaking through soon. The step up in distance looks suitable based on her last run and she gets the services of in-form jockey Kyle Wilson-Taylor.
Value pick6th
8Hell Of A Prince
Veteran gelding coming off an excellent 2nd placing at this track just 7 days ago. Gets in with a featherweight 51.5kg and has drawn the inside barrier. Has been racing consistently with two 2nd placings from his last three starts and has mostly competed in higher class races.

11Strike Weapon
Second-up today after only 15 days between runs, he should be primed for peak performance. The likely fast tempo will suit his running style, and he appears to have more upside than most rivals. Georgina Cartwright retains the ride which is a positive.
2nd pick12th
9Excelboom
The advantageous barrier 4 draw should allow him to settle in a good position. The addition of a cross-over nose band plus tongue control and lugging bit could be the catalyst for improvement. Angela Jones retains the ride which maintains continuity.
3rd pick5th
4Jimmy's Brother
First-up from a spell for top trainer David Vandyke who typically has his horses ready to fire fresh. The advantageous barrier 5 draw should allow Ryan Wiggins to position him ideally.
Value pick4th
1American Conquest
Mapped to be on pace or leading in a race with fast tempo, which could give him a tactical advantage if he can handle the pressure. The booking of experienced jockey Boris Thornton is significant for a first-starter. While carrying top weight is a concern, the stable appears to have confidence in this runner.

15Highgrove Rose
Highgrove Rose brings strong credentials dropping back from Listed company where she competed respectably. Her last two starts have produced runner-up finishes at this track, showing she handles the course perfectly. The inside draw gives her tactical options, and the step up to the mile looks suitable based on her racing pattern. With Damien Thornton aboard and the lightest weight, she represents the strongest winning chance.
2nd pick2nd
4Elrond
Elrond brings rock-solid consistency with 3 seconds and 2 thirds from 10 starts, including a close second just 7 days ago. He has an excellent record at this track with 3 seconds and 1 third from 4 starts. The barrier draw is favorable, and while untested at the mile, his racing pattern suggests it will suit.
3rd pickScratched
14Miss Highfalutin
The Tony Gollan-trained mare has been consistent without winning, recording 2 thirds from 7 starts. The application of winkers for the first time could be the gear change needed to find improvement.
Value pick3rd
5Express Star
The gelding has been improving with each run this preparation and draws well in barrier 4. The step up to 1600m looks suitable based on his strong finishing efforts, and he carries a manageable 57kg.
