Sheer Terra brings the strongest credentials with a second placing from two starts at this track and distance. She maps to be on-speed from barrier 8, which is crucial at Queanbeyan's leader-favoring layout. Her first-up record shows ability fresh and she's been consistent at this class level. The 240-day spell is a concern, but her previous first-up run resulted in a placing, suggesting she can perform well fresh.
That was her first run from a spell and she should improve significantly second-up.
Focus Point should be right on speed from barrier 6, which is advantageous at Queanbeyan. While yet to place from two starts, she's drawn to get a good run and has an experienced jockey aboard in Jess Taylor. First-up from a spell is a query, but she maps perfectly for this track.
The perfect draw in barrier 1 is crucial at Queanbeyan, and the removal of blinkers could help her settle better.

Navajo Code represents the strongest winning chance despite being unraced. The Joseph, Jones & Jones stable is renowned for having horses ready to win first-up, and the gear changes indicate they're focusing on early speed, which is crucial at Queanbeyan's tight-turning 1000m start.
Her two runs on synthetic surfaces showed some ability, and the stable confidence suggests she's improved during her spell. The wide barrier is a concern at Queanbeyan, but she maps to settle back and run on. Less appealing than Navajo Code due to the barrier draw and unproven turf form.
The inside draw is perfect for Queanbeyan's tight turning track, and she maps to get a good position. Nick Heywood is a significant jockey booking. Ranks below Navajo Code and Deeply due to the 44-day freshen-up and unproven soft track form.
While she's yet to win from 17 starts, she has experience at this track and distance and gets an advantageous barrier 5 draw.

Flashy Icon brings the strongest recent form into this race with placings in his last three starts including a close 2nd over this distance at Canberra 13 days ago. His on-pace running style is perfectly suited to Queanbeyan's tight turning track, and barrier 2 ensures he'll get the ideal position.
Sebastian's Flyer brings solid credentials with two 3rd placings at this track and distance. His recent form has been consistent with a 4th and 3rd in his last two starts. While he tends to get back in his races which isn't ideal at Queanbeyan, he has shown he can handle the track's tight turns. The slight class drop is in his favor, though he's yet to win beyond 1200m despite multiple placings.
The perfect barrier draw will allow him to utilize the inside run at Queanbeyan's tight track. While his win strike rate is concerning (just 2 wins from 45 starts), he's a reliable place-getter with 6 seconds and 6 thirds. The slight class rise is the main concern.
Pretty Please offers value based on her perfect record at this track and distance, having won here over 2000m last month. While she was disappointing last start when 6th at Canberra, that was in higher class company. The wide barrier is a concern at Queanbeyan, but her proven ability at the track compensates.

Aquilino brings the strongest course and distance credentials to this race with 2 placings from 6 starts at Queanbeyan and 2 placings from 2 attempts at this distance. His recent form has been consistent with 2 thirds from his last 3 starts. While drawn wide in barrier 9, he has tactical speed to overcome it and gets a significant class drop here. Nick Heywood is a strong booking.
Second-up now with a good draw at barrier 4, she should get an ideal run in midfield on this tight-turning track.
Delago Serg is a consistent placegetter with 5 thirds from 7 starts and has proven ability at this track and distance with a placing from 2 attempts. He performs well on soft tracks with 2 placings from 2 starts and gets a significant class drop here. While first-up from a spell and carrying top weight, his consistency makes him a strong place chance.
She draws perfectly in barrier 1, which is crucial at Queanbeyan's tight-turning track, and gets the services of experienced jockey Richard Bensley.

The 11yo veteran drops significantly in class from Open company and maps to be on-speed from the ideal barrier 4, which is crucial at this tight-turning track. The weight is a concern, but his tactical speed and track experience should prove decisive.
Gets in with just 53kg from a favorable barrier 6 and has shown ability on good tracks. The mare is in career-best form with 2 wins from her last 5 starts but faces a class rise and is unproven at this track.
Wegotabetterhoffa returns from a spell with an excellent record at this track and distance (1-0-0 from 2 starts) and a strong first-up record (1-0-0 from 3 starts). Drawn perfectly in barrier 1 which is crucial at Queanbeyan, and has proven ability on soft tracks. The top weight is a significant concern, but her tactical speed and inside draw give her every chance on this leaders' track.

Progressive 4YO mare who won her maiden at this track and distance last start on soft going. Has been racing consistently with 3 consecutive placings prior to that win. Ideally drawn in barrier 6 and carries a significant weight advantage over main rivals. The step up in class is offset by her progressive profile and proven track/distance form.
6YO mare who won at this track and distance two starts back. Has been racing consistently with 2 wins from her last 5 starts. Maps to get a forward position which is advantageous at this track. Main concern is her poor record on soft tracks (8:0-0-0), but her recent track form and tactical speed give her strong claims.
Comes off a close 4th last start and has a perfect draw in barrier 2. The blinkers off gear change could help him settle better in the run.
Has a perfect draw in barrier 4 and carries just 56kg. Has a good record at this track (4:1-0-1) and is still improving.
