The Michael Freedman-trained gelding has shown consistent improvement across his three career starts and looks ready to peak. His racing pattern suggests the step up to 1840m will suit, and the engagement of in-form jockey Daniel Moor is significant. Represents the best winning chance.
The Wootton Bassett gelding draws perfectly in barrier 1 which is advantageous for the 1840m start at Eagle Farm.
Miss Chamonix brings strong staying credentials after a solid 3rd placing last start over 2020m at Doomben. The 3yo filly is improving with each run and will appreciate the 1840m journey. With just 52kg on her back, she has a significant weight advantage over the top selections.
While she hasn't broken through for a win in 16 starts, she has shown ability with placings and her recent form is trending in the right direction.

The filly is second-up from a spell with a good first-up record (2:0-1-0) and drops significantly in class from previous Listed race exposure. Well drawn in barrier 4 and should be finishing strongly with the expected fast tempo.
Ceretti brings solid credentials with two third placings from three starts, including one at this track and distance. Angela Jones has a strong 18% strike rate with trainer Tony Gollan, enhancing confidence despite the slightly awkward draw.
Jockey Cejay Graham is in good form with a 20% strike rate from her last 20 rides and has experience with trainer Kelly Schweida (11% from 133 rides).

Crypto Miss brings the strongest form credentials with consecutive seconds in her last two starts. First-up from a spell but has placed fresh previously. Well-suited by the likely fast tempo as she can settle midfield and finish strongly. The most reliable form runner in this maiden field.
Mercatello is an unraced runner from the powerful Tony Gollan stable. The booking of in-form jockey Emily Lang (4 wins from last 20 rides) is significant, and the combination has a solid 11% strike rate. Drawn to get a perfect run from barrier 4 and likely to settle in a forward position.
Yaranga is an unraced runner from the Barry Lockwood & Emma-Jane Vincent stable. Drawn perfectly in barrier 3 and mapped to be one of the leaders in a race with fast tempo. Jockey Harrison Shaw is in good form with 2 wins from his last 13 rides. Well-positioned to capitalize on the inside draw.
The booking of Martin Harley (6 wins from last 20 rides) is significant. Likely to improve significantly on her second raceday appearance.

His mile record shows consistency (2-2-2 from 14), and he's performed well at Eagle Farm previously without winning (0-3-1 from 8). The slight class drop helps, and he maps to get a good run from barrier 6. Ben Thompson is a quality jockey who rides Eagle Farm well, making him a genuine place chance.
Spanish Fox brings a strong overall record (5-4-2 from 19) to this race but faces some challenges. He's untested at the mile distance and unproven at Eagle Farm, while also rising in class. The apprentice jockey is a slight concern given their limited success together. While he has the class to feature, there are stronger winning chances in this field.
Nails Murphy brings the strongest recent form into this race with back-to-back wins, including an impressive BM85 victory just 4 days ago. His mile record is excellent (3-4-3 from 11), and he's drawn perfectly in barrier 1 to utilize his tactical speed. The quick backup is the main query, but he appears to be in career-best form.
Damien Thornton is riding in excellent form (20% strike rate from last 20 rides) and has placed on this horse in all three previous rides. The wide barrier is a concern, but the likely fast tempo should allow him to find cover and finish strongly.

Has a solid record at this track and distance (1-0-1 from 2 starts) and will be suited by the likely fast tempo. Damien Thornton stays aboard and the mare appears to be hitting peak form at the right time.
Consistent gelding coming off a strong second at Sunshine Coast when fresh. Has a good record at this distance (1-2-1 from 5 starts) and draws perfectly in barrier 2. Second-up today and while he hasn't won second-up before, his overall form suggests he's ready to peak. Ben Thompson knows the Eagle Farm track well and the horse should get an ideal run.
Talented gelding with an impressive record at this distance (3-2-0 from 5 starts). Coming off a 5th placing but has shown ability to bounce back previously. The significant class rise is a concern, but his overall profile suggests he can measure up. Draws well in barrier 4 and should get a good run in midfield. Represents the Gollan stable which excels at Eagle Farm.
The significant class rise is a concern, but he's drawn well and has the services of in-form jockey Cejay Graham. Worth including in exotics at the very least.

Last Command brings strong metropolitan form into this provincial race, dropping significantly in class after a narrow 2nd placing at Doomben. The class drop is the decisive factor, making him the clear standout.
Carravilla enters this race in peak form after consecutive wins, including a last-start victory in the same class at Doomben. With a strong jockey booking in Cejay Graham (15% strike rate at Eagle Farm) and a good record on good tracks, she represents the main danger to the top selection.
Treporti brings experience and track knowledge to this race with a win from 3 starts at Eagle Farm over this distance.
The inside barrier draw is advantageous at Eagle Farm, and his strong finishing style should be suited by the expected fast tempo.

Her last start placing at Kembla Grange was solid, and she gets a perfect draw and top jockey booking.
Poutchek presents as an excellent second-up proposition with a perfect record at this distance and previous success at Eagle Farm. While her overall record is modest, she tends to perform best second-up and at this specific distance, making her a genuine contender.
Her record at 1400m is impressive with 3 wins from 6 attempts, and she's shown consistency throughout her career.

Hot Majesty brings strong metropolitan form dropping significantly in class from Open/Listed races. The gelding has won at this distance range and should appreciate the step up from his last start. Ben Thompson retains the ride and has a solid 13% strike rate with trainer Gollan.
Hamilton Brown represents value dropping significantly in class with a good barrier draw. While his win record is modest (1 from 18), he's been consistent with placings and should appreciate the class relief after racing in stronger company recently.
Cigar Man brings solid recent form with a close 2nd over 1975m at Ipswich, suggesting he'll handle this distance progression well. His overall record shows consistency with a 14% win rate and 29% place rate. Martin Harley is riding in excellent form (30% strike rate from last 20 rides) and should give him every chance despite the awkward draw. The gelding has been racing in similar or higher class and looks ready to peak third-up.
She's a track specialist with a win at Eagle Farm from 5 attempts and has been racing consistently in stronger company. The mare should appreciate the step up in distance based on her recent racing pattern and gets a capable jockey in Brandon Lerena who's riding at 20% from his last 20 rides.
