Andros brings the strongest form credentials to this race with five second placings from 15 starts, including two from two at this track. His last start 2nd at Lismore over a similar distance indicates he's in good form, and the significant class drop works strongly in his favor. With a fast tempo likely, his midfield settling position and strong finishing burst should be advantageous. The most reliable runner in the field.
Junostar is a lightly-raced filly with upside, having placed in 2 of her 3 starts. The main danger to the top selection.
As a 3yo filly, she gets weight relief and should be suited by the likely fast tempo, allowing her to finish strongly.

Second-up today after a solid first-up run, he's drawn well in barrier 4 and maps to settle on-pace in a race where the track bias favors leaders. The Justify gelding should appreciate the step up to 1320m and has natural improvement to come.
Vostokova brings solid form credentials with a second and third from just three career starts. The filly has shown ability when fresh previously and gets the services of quality jockey Damien Thornton. With a light weight of 55.5kg and a good draw in barrier 5, she should get every chance.
French Riviera brings consistency with three thirds and a recent narrow second at Gold Coast. The mare draws perfectly in barrier 1 which should be advantageous at Lismore, and the significant gear change (blinkers off, winkers on) could spark improvement. While she's yet to win from 9 starts, her consistency puts her in the finish, and the inside draw gives her every chance to break through in a race that should suit her running style.
With just one career start, there's natural improvement to come, and the gelding gets the services of top jockey Ben Looker.

The Reliable Man gelding has been crying out for this trip and maps to get a perfect midfield position from barrier 6. The moderate tempo should suit his style, and he appears to have more upside than most rivals.
The Stratum Star mare gets significant weight relief carrying just 55.5kg and the gear change to winkers first time could spark improvement. While she's unproven at the distance, her racing pattern suggests she'll appreciate the extra ground.
The Dundeel gelding is perfectly suited at this trip with a 1-from-1 record at similar distances. Likely to push forward from barrier 9 and either lead or sit close to the pace, which should be advantageous at Lismore. His consistent form (1-2-0 from 6 starts) gives confidence.
The Showtime mare has been racing consistently with placings in 3 of her 12 starts and draws perfectly in barrier 1.

Perfectly positioned to capitalize on the likely fast tempo with her midfield running style. Gets in with just 53.5kg and has significant upside as a lightly-raced type. The slight class rise is offset by her progressive profile and weight advantage.
Seasoned gelding resuming from a spell with a solid first-up record. Maps to lead from barrier 3 which is crucial at Lismore over this distance. Has won at this track and distance previously and is dropping in class from his last preparation. The fast tempo is a concern, but his tactical speed and inside draw should allow him to control the race.
Will benefit from the fast tempo and should settle midfield before unleashing a strong finish. Represents each-way value in a race that could set up for a closer.
Five-year-old mare with excellent recent form, finishing 2nd, 3rd and 4th in her last three starts. The quick backup suggests fitness and stable confidence, while the fast tempo should suit her midfield running style.

Nite Chill brings the strongest recent form with consecutive seconds including at this track and distance 16 days ago. Maps to settle midfield with the tactical speed to position well before the turn, which is crucial at Lismore.
Bay Of The South showed promise on debut with a 3rd placing at Gold Coast 22 days ago. From the strong Tony Gollan stable, she's drawn well in barrier 5 and should get an ideal midfield position.
All Too Foxy brings the most race experience with 10 starts including 4 third placings. She's proven at similar distances with 2 thirds from 3 starts at 1100m. The significant class drop from previous Group 3 exposure is notable, and she's drawn well in barrier 3. Kyle Wilson-Taylor takes the ride, and her consistency suggests she'll be in the finish.
Second-up from a spell suggests improvement, and the likely fast tempo should suit his running style.

Kingdom Undersiege brings metropolitan form to this country race, having won impressively first-up at Murwillumbah. The significant class drop is a major advantage, and while barrier 10 isn't ideal at Lismore, his tactical speed should allow him to position midfield with cover. The expected fast tempo suits his finishing style.
Kevin Mckeen brings solid consistent form with a win two starts back and a placing last start at Lismore over a similar distance. While rising in class is a concern, his proven ability at Lismore and good barrier draw (5) should allow him to settle in a forward position, which suits this track's profile.
Got Gumption brings strong credentials as a second-up performer with an impressive 38% win strike rate overall. The 40-day freshen-up is a slight concern, but he's shown versatility across conditions and is well-placed dropping in class. Barrier 6 gives options at Lismore where he should settle midfield with cover.
His form is trending upward with a win and a fifth from his last two starts. While barrier 11 is a concern at Lismore and he's rising in class, his versatile racing pattern should allow him to find cover midfield.

Lightly-raced filly who impressed on debut with a strong win at Coffs Harbour. Despite the significant class rise, she gets in with just 53.5kg and has drawn perfectly in barrier 5. Her trainer has a good record with horses first-up, and she retains the services of Jett Newman who rode her to victory last start. The expected fast tempo should suit her running style.
Consistent mare with a strong overall record who performs well when fresh. Coming back from Open company represents a significant class drop, and she's drawn to get the perfect run from barrier 6. Her first-up record is encouraging, and she gets the services of top jockey Damien Thornton. The expected fast tempo should suit her get-back style.
Despite drawing wide, his tactical speed should allow him to get across and secure a good position. Trainer Adam Campton has placed him well.
Improving mare who broke through for a maiden win last start with a strong performance at Sunshine Coast. The wide barrier is a concern, but she has tactical speed to overcome it.
