On The Mark brings exceptional credentials with 5 wins from 15 starts at Geraldton and a strong record at the distance. Despite carrying top weight, his consistent recent form (three consecutive seconds) and proven class edge make him the standout. Likely to be on-pace in a race that should favor forward runners, and his overall record at Geraldton is impossible to ignore.
Likely to be on-pace in a race that should favor forward runners.
Divine Inanna brings excellent track credentials with 4 wins from 7 starts at Geraldton including a recent win over this track and distance. The mare is perfectly drawn in barrier 2 and should get an ideal midfield position. With a strong record at the distance and significant weight relief compared to the top selections, she represents a solid each-way proposition.
Gold Keeper brings rock-solid recent form with placings at his last three starts. Well-weighted with 55kg and perfectly drawn in barrier 4, he should get an ideal run in midfield. Represents the best value in the race.

Belvedere Rock brings the strongest credentials with a perfect 2-from-2 record at Geraldton over the mile. Despite carrying top weight, he's proven capable under similar conditions and has been a model of consistency with 3 wins from his last 5 starts.
Invincible Thief brings strong metropolitan form, dropping back from an impressive Open class win at Ascot. While untested at Geraldton, her recent form is hard to ignore with back-to-back wins. The step back in distance from 2200m to 1600m is manageable given her versatile racing pattern, though she'll need to overcome the weight rise and first-time track experience. Her class edge makes her a genuine threat.
The perfect barrier draw should allow him to utilize his early speed, and the drop back to country grade is a significant class advantage.
Sanabeau represents excellent value given her strong record at both track and distance. With 3 wins and 2 seconds from 8 starts at the mile, she clearly excels at this trip. Her recent win over 1619m at Geraldton demonstrates she's in good form, and the inside draw should allow her to secure a good position.

| 7th | 6 | Desert Sleeve | 7 | Amy Jo Hayes | G B Delane | 55kg | $101.00 |
Has shown consistency with 2 seconds and 2 thirds from 11 starts. The mare should get a perfect midfield position from barrier 9 and will be suited by the likely fast tempo. Natasha Faithfull takes the ride and the 56kg is ideal. Ready to break through.
Has an excellent record at this track with 2 seconds and 2 thirds from 6 starts, including a second at this distance. Troy Turner knows the horse well and despite carrying 58kg, the gelding has shown he can handle the weight. Will likely settle midfield and be running on strongly.
The gelding is well-drawn in barrier 2 and should get a nice run in midfield. Taj Dyson continues his association with the horse and there are signs of improvement.
Blow Back represents excellent value after a strong 2nd placing at this track and distance two starts back. Gets in with just 54kg after coming back from Class 1 company, which represents a significant class drop. Giaan O'Donnell's claim is valuable and the gelding should appreciate the likely fast tempo.

Written Words brings the strongest form references, dropping significantly in class after competing in Open company. The Mitchell Pateman and Patrick Carbery combination is elite, and despite the wide barrier, he should get a good run in a race with very fast tempo. Clearly the one to beat.
Caleb brings solid recent form with placings in his last two starts, including a close second at this track just 12 days ago. While the wide barrier is a concern, the very fast tempo should allow him to find a position. Troy Turner retains the ride which is a positive. Represents good each-way value.
Summer Mood is a consistent mare with strong form at this track, recording 3 seconds and 2 thirds from 9 starts at Geraldton. Kyra Yuill knows this mare well and from barrier 7, she should get a good run. While she's yet to win, her consistency makes her a solid place chance.
She has a good record at this track with a second and a third from 7 starts. The advantageous barrier draw (3) should allow her to settle in a good position.

Her track record at Geraldton is excellent (2-3-0 from 5 starts), and she's shown consistent form throughout her career. While stepping up in distance from her last win, she should handle the 1400m and has the closing speed to overcome the wide barrier in what looks to be a fast-tempo race.
Scurgeofthewest brings strong credentials as a last-start winner with an excellent track and distance record (2-0-1 from 3 starts). While carrying top weight of 61kg is a challenge, he's proven capable under weight and has a consistent form pattern. The wide barrier is a concern, but with a strong finishing burst and experience at this track, he should be finishing strongly in the closing stages.
Leonardo Da Grey brings strong recent form, finishing 3rd last start in stronger company at Ascot. While he's carrying near top weight and hasn't raced for 28 days, his proven class and good record at Geraldton (2-2-0 from 5 starts) make him a genuine contender.

Truly Gallant brings the strongest form credentials with an excellent 40% win rate and 80% place rate from limited starts. His track and distance record is perfect with a win and a place from two attempts. The barrier is workable for his racing pattern.
Sweet Surrender brings metropolitan form credentials with a last-start second at Ascot over 1800m. She's on an improving pattern and drops back to 1600m with a light weight. Her lack of experience at the track and distance is the main concern.
Master Alex brings consistency with a last-start third in similar company. The barrier 1 draw is ideal for his on-pace style, though he may face pressure in what's likely to be a fast-tempo race. His track experience is valuable with 3 wins from 17 starts at Geraldton. The main concerns are the class rise and top weight, but he's proven capable of carrying weight.
The barrier 5 draw gives Natasha Faithfull options, and the 55kg weight is favorable.

Her consistency is impressive with 5 seconds from 14 starts, and she's drawn perfectly in barrier 3 to take advantage of the predicted very fast tempo.
In Situ brings an impressive record of 2 wins from 3 starts including a perfect record at this track and distance. The 3-year-old gelding is stepping up in class but has shown progressive form with consecutive wins, including last start over 1213m at Geraldton. The wide barrier (14) is a concern, but his proven ability to handle this track and his strong win strike rate (67%) compensate for this disadvantage. Will need to overcome the barrier but has the class.
Karri On brings solid recent form with a close second last start at this track over 1217m just 12 days ago. While her win strike rate is modest (1 from 10), she's shown consistency with her recent placings and is well-suited by the very fast tempo predicted. The neutral barrier draw allows options, and her light weight is a significant advantage.
The mare is well-drawn in barrier 2 to take advantage of the predicted very fast tempo, and while stepping up in class, her recent performances suggest she can be competitive. Her experience (27 starts) is an asset in this field.

Twilight Tale brings solid consistency with a 3rd placing last start over 2200m at Ascot. Her 42% place strike rate demonstrates reliability, and she's drawn perfectly in barrier 2 to get an economical run.
Noahquintilly comes off a solid 4th placing at Ascot over this distance just 7 days ago, suggesting peak fitness. While her win strike rate is modest at 10%, she's shown ability at staying trips and gets the services of experienced jockey Patrick Carbery.
The moderate tempo should suit his racing pattern, and he appears well-weighted at 57.5kg for this assignment.
With a strong Geraldton record (2-2-1 from 12 starts) and previous success at this distance, he's well-suited to conditions.

Progressive 4YO gelding with a perfect record at Geraldton (2 wins from 2 starts). The step up to 1200m should suit, and the addition of blinkers first time could sharpen him further. Troy Turner retains the ride and from barrier 4 should get an ideal run. The class rise is the main query but he appears to have untapped potential.
Lightly-raced 4YO mare dropping significantly in class after competing in Listed company last preparation. Has a strong first-up record with 1 win from 2 attempts and gets the services of top jockey Clint Johnston-Porter. Her versatile racing pattern should suit the likely fast tempo, and she's drawn well in barrier 6. The main query is her first race at Geraldton, but her class edge compensates for this.
Consistent 5YO gelding with a particularly strong second-up record (3:0-1-2). Has placed at Geraldton previously and performs well on Good tracks (12:3-3-2). The class rise is a concern, but his consistency and second-up pattern give him strong claims.
Consistent 7YO mare with excellent Geraldton credentials (13:2-3-3) and a solid record at this distance (12:1-4-1). Comes into this with strong recent form, finishing 2nd last start over 1417m at this track. Regular rider Kyra Yuill knows the horse well and should give her every chance from barrier 5.
