Second-up today after a solid fresh run, she's shown consistent form with placings in 3 of 4 starts. The J McDonald/Waller combination is significant, and she appears perfectly positioned to capitalize on the expected fast tempo.
Kokatahi returns from a spell with consistent placing form (3: 0-1-2) and drops significantly in class from his last preparation. His soft track record (3: 0-1-2) suits today's conditions, and barrier 6 is favorable given the track's inside bias.
Royal Silver showed significant ability on debut when finishing a close 2nd at Canterbury 20 days ago on a soft track. The filly has drawn well in barrier 2 which should allow her to secure a good position in the expected fast-tempo race.

The step up to 1400m should suit based on her finishing effort, and she gets significant weight relief with 55kg. The inside draw is advantageous at Kensington, and Tyler Schiller's 17% strike rate at this track is a positive. The 40-day freshen-up suggests she's been specifically prepared for this assignment.
The inside barrier is a significant advantage at Kensington, and his breeding suggests the step up to 1400m should suit. Jason Collett is a capable rider at this track. The moderate-fast tempo should allow him to find a good position from the inside gate.
The step up to 1400m looks suitable based on her finishing effort. Zac Lloyd is riding in excellent form with a 20% strike rate from his last 20 rides. The moderate-fast tempo should suit her running style, though the wider barrier is a slight concern.
Lorrie Belle has been steadily improving with each run, finishing a close 4th last start at Warwick Farm over this distance. Anna Roper has a strong 17% strike rate at this track. The filly has experience at this distance which is a plus, and her closing effort last start suggests she's ready to peak third-up.

Quality mare resuming for Chris Waller after 434 days. Last seen winning a BM72 at Rosehill carrying 55.5kg, now drops significantly in class. Has a strong first-up record with 1 win from 2 attempts and has shown ability to sprint well fresh. The wide draw is offset by the likely fast tempo, and her class edge should prove decisive.
The significant class drop combined with the inside draw gives him strong claims despite the top weight. Has proven ability on soft tracks with 1 win from 5 starts and should get a nice run from the inside gate.
The booking of James McDonald is significant, and he should improve second-up. Has shown ability with a win and two placings from eight starts, and the likely fast tempo should suit his racing pattern. Drawn to get a nice run in midfield.
Drops significantly in class from BM72 company and the return of blinkers should sharpen him up. Has shown ability when fresh and the likely fast tempo should suit his racing pattern.

| Scr | 1 | Bavette | 4 | Nash Rawiller | Matthew Kelley | 61kg |
Has an ideal barrier 1 draw on this track where inside gates are advantageous. His 2 wins from 5 starts at 1400m shows distance suitability, and Zac Lloyd (who rode him to victory last start) maintains the ride. The moderate-fast tempo should suit his racing pattern.
Fiddlers Green brings a strong first-up profile with 2 wins from 4 fresh starts. The booking of J McDonald is significant, and his tactical speed from barrier 4 should allow him to take up a forward position. The moderate-fast tempo should suit his racing style, and the inside barrier advantage plays to his strengths.
His soft track record (2 wins from 7 starts) is a plus given the Soft 6 conditions. Barrier 5 is advantageous on this track, and his consistent form (4 wins, 3 seconds, 4 thirds from 15 starts) suggests he'll be competitive despite the top weight.
She has a strong second-up profile with 3 placings from 5 attempts and excels on soft tracks with 3 wins from 7 starts. The mare has 2 wins from 7 starts at this distance and should appreciate the moderate-fast tempo.

Second-up today where she has placed previously and drawn well in barrier 7 to secure a good position. Chad Schofield knows the horse well and is riding in good form. Represents each-way value.
Lightly-raced Nazwah brings significant upside as a 3YO filly from the Snowden stable. Has won first-up previously and gets in well at the weights with 55kg. Drawn ideally in barrier 6 to secure a good position.
Handles soft tracks well with 3 wins from 14 starts and gets Alysha Collett who has won on her previously.

Her overall record of 3 wins from 8 starts shows excellent consistency, and she's proven adaptable across track conditions. The likely fast tempo should suit her racing pattern, and Tommy Berry's booking is a significant positive.
His recent form has been consistent with a 5th placing in a similar race at Randwick. The booking of Tim Clark is a positive, and he should get a nice run in midfield from barrier 6 with the expected fast tempo suiting his racing pattern.
He's been racing in stronger company and drops significantly in class here. The inside draw is ideal given the track bias favoring inside barriers, and his recent form suggests he's ready to break through for a second career win.
The inside draw is perfect given the track bias, and his last-start third at Moruya suggests he's in good form. The step up to metropolitan grade is offset by the significant weight relief.

| Scr | 11 | Clear Proof | 4 | Dylan Gibbons | John Thompson | 57kg |
Progressive mare showing significant upside with 2 wins from just 3 starts. Has tactical versatility from barrier 7 and proven soft track credentials with a win on soft going. The step up to 1800m looks suitable based on her racing pattern, and she gets in well at the weights with 56kg.
Consistent performer with strong recent form, finishing in the top four in his last three starts. Has a proven wet track record with 2 wins from 4 starts on soft/heavy going. Tactical on-pace runner who should get the perfect run from barrier 2. Tommy Berry (24% strike rate at this track) is a significant jockey booking.
Consistent performer with a strong place record (5 seconds, 3 thirds from 17 starts). Has previous experience at this track and distance with a placing. Handles soft tracks with 1 placing from 1 start on soft going. Alysha Collett retains the ride after their last start third, which is a positive.
Talented gelding who scored an impressive win two starts back over 1600m. Last start seventh can be forgiven as he was caught wide. Gets the services of champion jockey James McDonald and has a proven wet track record with 1 win and 1 place from 2 heavy track starts. Well-weighted with 57kg and drawn perfectly in barrier 4. The Chris Waller stable is in good form, and the removal of blinkers could help him settle better over this trip.
