Onemoretwomany brings the strongest recent form with consecutive wins at Geraldton including one at this distance. His record of 6:3-1-0 at this trip is excellent, and he's proven at this track and distance (4:1-1-0). Drops significantly in class from Open company races at Ascot to a BM70+ at Geraldton. Has tactical speed to overcome the barrier and should be right in the finish.
Prince Ragnar brings solid credentials with excellent track and distance statistics (6:1-3-2). The addition of winkers for the first time could sharpen him up, and the inside draw gives options. Consistent performer who should be in the finish.
While his 7th placing doesn't look impressive on paper, he's been racing in stronger company and is dropping in class here. His overall record of 35:7-6-3 shows his quality, though he's relatively unproven at this distance (2:0-1-0). The 1.5kg claim from Holly Nottle helps offset the top weight.
His recent form includes 3 placings from his last 4 starts, and he has a strong record at this track (13:1-4-3). While yet to win at this distance, he has placed 3 times from 4 attempts. The low weight of 54kg is a significant advantage, and barrier 2 gives him options to settle wherever Troy Turner wants. His consistency makes him a solid each-way proposition.

| Scr | 6 | Well Played | 3 | Elisha Whittington | A L Bowtell | 54kg |
While yet to win at this distance, his second placing at Geraldton over 1113m shows track suitability. His consistent form (2-4-1 from 12 starts) and excellent record on Good tracks make him the standout despite the class rise and topweight.
Cheeky Charlotte returns from a spell with a solid first-up record (1-1-0 from 4). While unproven at this track and distance, her tactical adaptability and weight advantage (56.5kg) give her strong claims despite the class rise.
Tycoon Demon brings valuable course experience with an impressive 3-2-2 record from 10 starts at Geraldton. Importantly, he's a proven performer at this exact distance (2-0-1 from 4 starts).
While her first-up record is modest, she gets significant weight relief (55.5kg) and the inside barrier.

Crampin' My Style brings the strongest form credentials, dropping significantly from metropolitan grade racing. The blinkers coming off first time suggests connections are looking for him to settle better, which should suit this distance. Barrier 13 is the main concern, but with a very fast tempo expected, he should get his chance to finish over the top.
Her form has been consistent against similar opposition, and she should appreciate the expected fast tempo. The wide barrier is offset by her ability to get back and run on. First-up record is a concern (3:0-0-0), but she's shown enough ability to suggest she can overcome that here.
He's dropping significantly in class and has drawn well in barrier 2. The main concerns are his first-up record (2:0-0-0) and the 140-day break since his last run. However, the class drop is significant enough to overcome these factors.
Her distance record (5:0-1-0) shows she's suited at this trip, and she's second-up today which should see improvement. The wide barrier is a concern, but with a very fast tempo expected, she should get her chance to run on.

Boussac brings the strongest recent form into this race, winning last start over the same track and distance with a strong finishing burst. While carrying top weight is a concern, his class edge and proven ability at Geraldton compensate. Well-drawn in barrier 4 to get a good position in what should be a fast-tempo race.
Deep Discretion brings solid recent form, finishing 2nd last start and winning two starts back. The wide barrier is a concern, as is the class rise and first attempt at this distance.
Truly Gallant brings excellent credentials with a strong record at both track (6: 2-2-0) and track/distance (3: 1-1-0). While drawn wide and carrying top weight, this horse has proven capable under similar conditions. The class rise is a concern, but overall form suggests he'll be right in the finish despite the fast predicted tempo.
Be My Belle represents excellent value with a perfect record at this track and distance (4: 2-2-0). Her last three starts have yielded two seconds and a win, showing consistent form.

Champeze brings strong metropolitan form to this race, having competed well in higher class races at Ascot and Belmont. The very fast tempo predicted should suit her finishing style, and she appears well-weighted with 56.5kg.
Karri On brings consistent form to this race with a 4th placing last start at this track and class. Her record at this track and distance is excellent with 1 win and 1 second from 4 attempts. She's well-drawn in barrier 4 and gets in with a light weight of 53.5kg.
Spare A Prayer comes off a last-start maiden win at this track and gets the perfect barrier 1 draw. He's second-up from a spell with a decent second-up record. While he's facing a significant class rise and carrying top weight, his front-running style and inside draw give him tactical advantages. The very fast tempo predicted is a concern, but he may be able to dictate terms from the front.
While his last start 6th was moderate, he's been a consistent performer overall. With just 54.5kg and an experienced jockey aboard, he's well-positioned to run a strong race despite the wide barrier.

His record at this track and distance is excellent (3: 2-0-1), and he's dropping in class after competing in stronger metro company. Has won 2 of his last 3 starts and appears perfectly suited to the conditions with Austin Galati aboard.
His last start 4th at Geraldton showed he's finding form, and he's well-weighted with 56.5kg. While he lacks experience at this track and distance, his overall record at similar distances (3: 1-0-1) suggests suitability. Likely to get a good run from barrier 7 with Holly Nottle aboard.
Sparkle Corner comes off a last start win at Geraldton over 1200m and boasts an impressive track/distance record of 6: 3-0-0. While he faces a significant class rise and carries top weight of 59kg, his ability to lead or race on pace should be advantageous.
Natasha Faithfull takes the ride.
