Winner3. ShezainSP $1.95
2nd pickWon
3Shezain
Shezain showed promise on debut with a third placing in open company and now drops significantly in class. The mare has been off the scene for 682 days but did perform well when fresh in her only start. Nick Heywood is a strong jockey booking, though barrier 8 isn't ideal on this track.
3rd pick2nd
4Dubbo Boy
Dubbo Boy brings consistent form with two third placings from four starts and has shown ability when second-up previously. Barrier 5 is neutral at this track, and while he was well beaten first-up, he should strip fitter for this assignment. The expected fast tempo may work against him.
Value pick5th
6Mogo Rock
She's drawn perfectly in barrier 2 on a track that favors inside gates and has previously placed at this track and distance.

3Bombelleistic
Bombelleistic brings solid credentials with a 3rd placing at this track last start over this distance. His soft track record is excellent (6:2-0-2) and he's shown tactical versatility from good barriers. The 4YO gelding has been racing consistently with a win two starts back at Sapphire Coast. With a good draw and proven ability on this surface, he maps to get an ideal midfield position in a moderately-fast tempo race.
2nd pick7th
5Write Your Own
His soft track record is solid (5:1-2-1) and he drops 1.5kg from last start. While unproven at this exact distance, he's won at 1435m and has strong 1500m form.
3rd pickWon
8Grey Secret
Grey Secret brings winning form to this race, having won at this track last start over 1425m. The Mitchell Beer & George Carpenter-trained mare handles soft tracks well (6:2-1-1) and is on an improving form trend.
Value pick8th
10Never Lose Faith
The 9YO mare finished a strong 4th at this track and distance last start, beaten less than 3 lengths. With extensive experience at this track (30:0-4-2) and distance (19:2-2-0), she knows what's required. While her win strike rate is low, she's a consistent place-getter on soft tracks (27:1-4-2) and carries the minimum weight.

Nagadec brings solid credentials with a strong record at Moruya (6: 0-2-1) and over this distance (4: 1-1-0). Has tactical versatility to settle midfield and finish strongly, which suits the likely fast tempo. Handles soft tracks well (8: 1-3-0) and has the right profile for this class.

Has been a consistent placegetter (17: 1-2-2) and performs well on good tracks (9: 1-1-1). The likely fast tempo is a concern, but his tactical speed should allow him to establish a position. Carries top weight but has the class to be competitive.
Value pick5th
8Star Bling
She's a consistent placegetter (12: 1-3-1) and drops slightly in class from previous starts. The good barrier draw (6) should allow her to settle midfield and finish strongly with the anticipated fast tempo. Louise Day is a positive jockey booking.

5She Within
She Within brings strong metropolitan form to this country race, having placed 3rd at Rosehill last start. The significant class drop combined with her previous win at this track and distance makes her the standout. Second-up from a spell with a good record when resuming, she's drawn perfectly in barrier 3 to take up a tactical position. The Dale Cole/Williams combination has been in good form.

8Vella Fox
With a 25% win rate and 45% place rate overall, plus a proven record at Moruya (1-2-0 from 4 starts), he's well-positioned to capitalize on the fast tempo predicted. His ability on soft tracks (3-2-0 from 7 starts) is another significant advantage in today's conditions.
2nd pick8th
9Cani Cancan
Her record at Moruya (1-1-0 from 7 starts) and ability on soft tracks (2-2-0 from 8 starts) are positive indicators. While her overall win rate is modest at 17%, her recent performances suggest she's in career-best form and ready to be competitive in this field.

5Kattegat
His record at Moruya is impressive (3-3-2 from 11 starts) and he handles soft tracks well (5-3-5 from 29 starts). While his overall win rate is modest at 14%, his experience and track knowledge make him a genuine contender, particularly if he can overcome the wide barrier draw.
