A Summer Fling showed significant ability on debut, finishing a close second at Ascot in a strong time. The Pearce-trained filly draws perfectly in barrier 3 with top jockey Chris Parnham aboard. Clearly the class runner of the field.
Partay represents the powerful G & A Williams stable making her debut. The first-time tongue tie suggests they're addressing any breathing issues early. Drawn well in barrier 6 with Lucy Fiore aboard, she should get a nice midfield position. The stable's first-starters often come well-prepared, making her a genuine threat.
My Danny Boy debuts with winkers applied first time, suggesting connections are looking for focus. Mapped to be one of the leaders from barrier 8 with Luke Campbell aboard. The Noske stable can produce ready-to-win debutants, and the gear change is a positive sign. Should give a good sight up front.
The Parnham-trained filly has been racing in stronger company and drops significantly in class here.

Bannered brings the strongest recent form, dropping significantly in class after competing admirably in metro company. The barrier draw suits his running style, and the gear changes (lugging bit off, norton bit and tongue tie on) suggest trainer is fine-tuning for a breakthrough win.
The advantageous barrier 2 draw should allow jockey Lucy Fiore to position favorably in the early stages.
Viva Marconi brings solid form credentials with a recent second-placing at Geraldton and third at York. While the top weight is a concern, he's shown consistency with placings in 2 of his last 3 starts. The barrier is workable, and he should be running on strongly if the anticipated fast tempo materializes.
The significant gear change from blinkers to visors suggests trainer D R Harrison is fine-tuning her focus. While the 652-day absence is concerning, she's likely matured physically during the break and the stable wouldn't present her without adequate preparation. The wide barrier is offset by her likely improved maturity.

Second-up today from an ideal barrier (2), he maps to get the perfect run on pace in a race with likely fast tempo.
Tora Bora comes off a strong 2nd placing at this track just 15 days ago, beaten only half a length. The wide barrier (11) is a concern, but her proven ability at Pinjarra and consistent recent form suggest she can overcome this disadvantage if she gets a good run in transit.
Xelcimus brings rock-solid consistency with 3 placings from 7 starts including consecutive runner-up finishes. The step up to 1406m looks suitable based on her strong finishing efforts, though she'll need to overcome being unproven at the distance.
Her second-up record includes a placing, and she's proven on soft tracks with a placing from 2 soft track starts.

Angel Undercover brings the strongest recent form into this race with a last-start 2nd at Ascot over 1400m. Has a strong record on Good tracks (6-3-3 from 21 starts) and gets in well at the weights with 55kg. Maps to get an ideal midfield position with moderate-fast tempo likely to suit. Chris Parnham booking is a positive and the mare appears ready to peak third-up.
Solid 4th last start at Ascot over 1200m and should appreciate the extra 100m here. Maps to settle back and will be finishing strongly with the likely moderate-fast tempo. Troy Turner sticks with the mare and she appears well placed to challenge the top selection.
Sky Duke was disappointing last start but did win two starts back at Ascot over 1200m. Maps to get a good midfield position and should appreciate the moderate-fast tempo. Luke Campbell retains the ride and the gelding can bounce back to form here.
Has been racing in stronger company and drops significantly in class here.

Her consistent pattern of racing from midfield suits the likely fast tempo, and barrier 2 gives her tactical options. While she's yet to win at the mile, her second placing at the trip shows she can handle it. The Lucy Fiore/Brett Pope combination is effective, and she appears well-placed to break through despite the top weight.
His track record at Pinjarra (two thirds from two starts) is encouraging, and he gets weight relief compared to the top selection. While his win strike rate is modest, his place record suggests he'll be in the finish. Holly Nottle knows the horse well, and from barrier 4, he should get a similar run to the top pick.
Her forward running style should allow her to overcome the wide barrier, and the weight advantage (55kg) is significant. While her win strike rate is modest, she's been placing regularly and the quick backup suggests she's thriving. Cassey Martinan should be able to position her prominently in a race that should suit her tactical style.
The significant class drop from recent starts is a major positive, and her form appears to be improving. While the wide barrier is a concern, experienced jockey Laqdar Ramoly should be able to find cover.

Our Nemesis brings the strongest recent form into this race with consecutive placings and a win three starts back. Despite the top weight, he maps to get a perfect run on speed and should be hard to beat in this company.
Extreme Love brings solid recent form with a 3rd placing last start over this distance. The mare will appreciate the likely fast tempo and carries a significant 4.5kg weight advantage over the top selection, making her a genuine threat.
Fifth Essence comes into this race second-up from a spell with a perfect second-up record. He brings a strong overall win rate of 38% and has proven ability at the distance.
He's well-drawn in barrier 5 and carries just 54kg, giving him a significant weight advantage over the main chances.

Impressive Jewel brings the strongest recent form into this race with a win and second in her last two starts at this level. The slight drop in class from her last start is ideal, and she has a proven record at this distance with two placings from three attempts.
Trespassing brings solid consistent form into this race with a 4th and 2nd in his last two starts. He's proven at the distance with a win and two thirds from five attempts and should be suited by the fast tempo predicted. The wide barrier is a concern, but he has the tactical speed to overcome it.
Her record at this distance is impressive with one win, one second and three thirds from nine attempts. The light weight of 53kg is a significant advantage, and she should be suited by the fast tempo. The wide barrier is a concern, but with her backmarker style, she may be able to overcome it.
Her record at this distance is outstanding with one win, three seconds and five thirds from 14 attempts. The fast tempo should suit her running style, and the return to blinkers is a positive gear change.

Princess In Red brings strong recent form with a close 2nd last start at Ascot. She excels second-up with 2 wins from 3 attempts and maps perfectly from barrier 6 to secure a midfield position in what should be a very fast tempo. The mare has proven ability at the distance (2-1-0 from 6 starts) and gets the services of top jockey Chris Parnham. Well-weighted and ready to peak.
Ma Ma Belle comes off an impressive win at this track 15 days ago and boasts a perfect 2-from-2 record at Pinjarra. The 4YO mare draws well in barrier 4 and should get a nice run just behind the speed. While facing a class rise, her track record and recent form make her a genuine threat.
Hez Got The Safe brings consistent form with 3 placings from his last 5 starts. The addition of blinkers for the first time could sharpen him up, and he maps to either lead or sit on pace from barrier 5. His record at this distance is solid (1-1-1 from 5) and experienced jockey Shaun O'Donnell takes the ride. While facing a class rise, his tactical speed gives him every chance in a race with a very fast tempo.
His recent form has been consistent with a 4th last start at Ascot and a win two starts back at Albany. While facing a class rise, he's an improving type who should get the perfect run in transit from the inside gate. With a very fast tempo predicted, he can finish strongly.
