Supido Express brings the strongest recent form into this race with three consecutive runner-up finishes in similar company. The good barrier draw should allow him to take up a forward position in a race with likely fast tempo. While he often finds one better, this appears a suitable race for him to break through.
His second-up record (2: 1-1-0) suggests he should improve further, and his versatile racing pattern will be beneficial in a race with expected fast tempo. Main threat to the top selection.
As a lightly-raced 3YO filly, she has significant upside potential and receives a favorable weight. While stepping up in class from a maiden to Class 1 is challenging, her debut suggested she has above-average ability. The good barrier should allow her to take up a positive position.
With previous experience at Pinjarra and a good barrier draw, he could surprise if returning to his better form. The drop in weight and likely fast tempo should suit his racing pattern.

Let Sparks Fly comes off an impressive win over this distance last start, carrying the same weight today. The mare has a good record at Pinjarra (1-2-0 from 3 starts) and gets in with just 54kg. While stepping up in class, she's shown enough improvement to suggest she can handle it.
Oisin brings solid recent form, finishing second last start over 1600m. He's dropping in class here which is a significant positive, though he does carry top weight of 60kg. While he hasn't won at this distance before, his running style suggests the 2000m should suit. The main query is whether he can carry the weight against some lighter-weighted rivals.
Belle Journee is a consistent mare who finished a solid 5th last start in stronger company. While she's yet to win at this distance, she's shown enough stamina to suggest the 2000m is within her range. The main concern is her low win strike rate (9%), but she often runs well without winning.
He's dropping slightly in class here and his running style suggests the 2000m will suit.

| 8th | 1 | Oisin | 8 | Shaun Mc Gruddy | S J Miller | 60kg | $3.30 |
The booking of William Pike is a massive jockey upgrade, and being second-up from a spell suggests natural improvement. Drawn ideally in barrier 3 to get a good position in the fast-tempo race, she looks ready to make significant improvement.
Wild Things brings solid recent form, having placed third over this distance last start at Belmont. Drawn ideally in barrier 2, she should get a good run in transit. The fast tempo might test her late, but she has the ability to be right in the finish.
Joyoh brings solid credentials having placed at this track and distance previously. The barrier is a slight concern, but she has the ability to overcome it.
The step up to 1400m looks ideal for this well-bred son of Castelvecchio, and natural improvement second-up is expected. Luke Campbell retains the ride which is a positive sign.

His recent run showed good fitness and he's well-positioned second-up from a spell. With a favorable barrier draw and consistent form, he appears ready to break through for a maiden win. The step up to 1300m should suit based on his running style.
Ajicito is an interesting debutant who commands respect with William Pike in the saddle. While the barrier is a concern, Pike's expertise should help overcome this disadvantage.
The favorable barrier draw and experienced jockey are significant positives. While lacking race experience, the stable appears to have confidence in this runner. The weight advantage could prove crucial in the closing stages, though settling back in a fast-tempo race might require some luck.
The quick back-up indicates fitness and the stable's confidence.

Dream Star brings the strongest recent form into this race with a close 2nd last start over 1400m at this track. The step up to 1600m looks suitable for this progressive Churchill filly, and she maps to get a perfect midfield position from barrier 4.
Parish Prince brings solid recent form with a close 2nd last start over 1500m at this track. While yet to break through for a win, he's been a consistent placegetter with 4 thirds from 14 starts. The step up to 1600m looks suitable based on his recent performances. Barrier 10 is a concern, but he should be strong late with the predicted fast tempo.
Arpione is a lightly-raced improver who finished a good 2nd last start over 1695m at Bunbury. The Merchant Navy gelding is still learning his craft but showed good staying potential last start. The slight drop back to 1600m should suit, and he maps to get a good midfield position from barrier 8. Shaun McGruddy retains the ride.
While yet to place in 9 starts, she's dropping significantly in class here and should be suited by the predicted fast tempo. The step up to 1600m looks suitable based on her running style.

Shamilian Miss brings the strongest credentials with a win at this track and distance plus two seconds at Pinjarra from just three starts here. The Chris Parnham/M Lane combination is potent, and from barrier 5 she should get an ideal run. Clearly the one to beat.
Lady Ducati comes into this race in winning form after scoring at Albany over 1500m. She's drawn the inside gate which should give her every chance to find a good position. While untested at the mile, her last win suggests she'll handle it. The step up in class is the query but she's racing well.
Wozzeck is second-up from a spell where he has a solid record of 1 win and 1 third from 6 attempts. His track record at Pinjarra is excellent with 1-1-1 from 6 starts including a win at this track and distance. The wide barrier is the main concern but Holly Watson knows him well.
While untested at the mile, she's well drawn in barrier 4 and gets in with just 55kg.

The mare maps to get a perfect midfield position and should be suited by the predicted fast tempo, allowing her to finish strongly. Her trainer Robert Gulberti has her in good order.
While he faces a class rise and has drawn wide, he should be suited by the fast tempo and will be finishing strongly. Jade McNaught retains the ride.
Eternal Romance comes into this second-up after a solid 4th at this track last start. Her soft track win suggests some versatility, and the Pearce stable knows how to prepare their runners. Steven Parnham is a quality jockey who should give her every chance despite the wide barrier.
Lotsamerit comes off a maiden win last start and brings an improving form trend to this race. While facing a significant class rise, the mare gets in with just 55kg and should be suited by the predicted fast tempo.
