Preordain comes into this race off a strong 2nd placing at Warren over 1400m. While yet to break through for a win, his recent form suggests he's ready to peak, and the moderate tempo should suit his running style.
Hutt Street brings solid recent form into this race, including a close 2nd at this track and distance two starts back. The gelding has been knocking on the door with consistent performances and should get a good run from barrier 8. While yet to win, his pattern suggests he's ready to break through, and the moderate tempo should suit his running style.
Being second-up today should see further improvement, and the addition of visors for the first time could be the gear change needed to sharpen him up.

Nandowrie is showing an improving pattern with a solid 2nd place finish last start at Wellington over 1400m. The step up to 1600m looks suitable based on his finishing efforts, and he's well-drawn in barrier 3 to get a good run. Brett Thompson has him in good order, and with Donovan Dillon aboard, he should settle midfield and be strong late.
The step up to 1600m looks suitable based on her finishing efforts in recent starts. Well-drawn in barrier 4 with a light weight of 55kg, she should get a good run midfield and be finishing strongly in the straight.
His last start 6th at Nowra over the mile was solid, and he should appreciate the likely fast tempo here. With a 1.5kg weight drop and experienced jockey Zoe Hunt aboard, he maps to settle midfield and finish strongly.
His 3rd placing over 1400m at Mudgee two starts back shows ability, and the removal of the cross-over nose band could help.

Sports Page brings the strongest recent form into this race with a win at Wellington over the same distance just 14 days ago. Her record at Dubbo (10: 2-2-1) is excellent, and she maps to get an ideal run from barrier 2. With a 20% win rate and 30% place rate overall, she's a consistent performer who's hitting peak form at the right time. The likely fast tempo should suit her running style.
Marnoo brings excellent recent form with consecutive wins before a solid second last start. With a 50% win rate at the mile distance and consistent recent performances, he's a genuine threat despite the slight class rise and wider barrier draw.
Associate brings strong metropolitan form to this country race, representing excellent class. The inside draw is perfect for his running style, though the 60.5kg is a concern. The significant class drop makes him a major player.
Laisvas represents excellent value coming off a win at Narromine just 6 days ago. Her record at Dubbo is solid (10: 1-0-4), and she's particularly effective at this track and distance combination (4: 1-0-2). The lightweight of 55kg is advantageous, and she gets the services of experienced jockey Mikayla Weir.

Imastatement brings the strongest and most consistent form to this race with 2 seconds and 1 third from 5 career starts. Second-up today after a solid 3rd at Wellington over this distance, she maps to get an ideal run from barrier 2. Her record at this distance is excellent with 3 placings from 4 attempts, and she handles good tracks well. The very fast tempo predicted could test her, but she has the class edge.
Gail Jeanette comes into this second-up after an eye-catching 2nd at Wellington over this distance. The significant class drop from metropolitan racing is a major plus, and she'll appreciate the very fast tempo predicted. While she's likely to settle back in the field, the track bias favoring backmarkers works in her favor.
Just Joan brings solid form credentials with 2 seconds and 2 thirds from 13 starts, including 2 seconds in her last 3 runs. She has track experience at Dubbo with 1 third from 3 starts and performs well at this distance. As a backmarker, she'll be suited by the very fast tempo predicted, and the track bias favoring backmarkers works in her favor. Represents each-way value.
Comobella represents value as a first-up runner from the Brett Robb stable. While her only career start resulted in a 10th placing, the 462-day break suggests she's had issues that have now been resolved. The stable is known for having their horses ready to fire fresh, and her breeding suggests she has ability.

Keadool brings the strongest recent form into this race with a last-start win at Wellington over this distance. Has been remarkably consistent with 7 placings from his last 12 starts and has proven ability at this track. The very fast tempo should suit his racing pattern, and despite carrying top weight, he appears well-placed to continue his good form.
Brummagen has been knocking on the door with consistent form, including a close second last start at Wellington. The gear change to visors first time could provide the improvement needed to break through. While facing a class rise, his consistent form and ability to handle this distance make him a genuine threat. The fast tempo should suit his racing pattern.
Emphatic Bel brings solid form with a strong second two starts back at Warren. As a backmarker, she'll be suited by the predicted very fast tempo, which should set up the race for closers. While her wide barrier is a concern, the track bias favoring backmarkers could work in her favor.
Her backmarker racing style will be perfectly suited by both the very fast tempo and the track bias favoring closers.

Progressive 3yo gelding who broke through for a maiden win last start at Wellington over 1100m. Has shown consistent form with a second and a win from his last two starts. Though stepping up to 1200m for the first time, his racing pattern suggests the extra distance should suit. The class rise is the main query, but he appears to have the most upside of any runner in this field.
Lightly raced 3yo gelding who broke through for a maiden win last start over 1375m at Cowra. Has shown ability in his brief career with a record of 2:1-0-0. The drop back from 1375m to 1200m shouldn't be an issue, and he maps to get a good run in midfield. The class rise is a query, but he appears to have upside and should be competitive.
6yo gelding who broke through for a maiden win two starts back over 1400m at Warren. Has been racing consistently with a 3rd and 4th from his last two starts. The drop back to 1200m is a query, but the likely fast tempo should help his chances. Maps to settle midfield and should be running on strongly late.
Experienced 6yo mare who has been racing consistently with consecutive 2nd placings at her last two starts. Has a strong record at the distance with 14:1-2-1. Well drawn in barrier 3 and should get a good run in transit.
