Golden Smile brings the strongest staying credentials with multiple placings at similar distances. Her second-up record (0-1-1 from 3) suggests improvement, and she maps to settle midfield with cover. Andrew Gibbons knows her well and the moderate tempo should allow her to finish strongly. The most reliable form reference in a race where many are stepping up in trip.
Call Me Son should take up the running and control the tempo, which is a significant advantage at Beaumont. His last start placing over 2100m suggests he'll handle the trip, though this is a class rise. Regan Bayliss is a strong jockey booking with a 40% strike rate at this track. If allowed to dictate terms, could prove hard to run down.
Icon Dream brings strong recent form, finishing a close second over 2100m at Gosford. Despite being winless from 23 starts, she's been placed 5 times and consistently runs well at staying trips. The lightweight and moderate tempo should suit her finishing style, and Alysha Collett is a positive jockey booking. Genuine place chance.
La Morra represents value as a progressive 3yo filly coming off a last-start win. Brock Ryan (25% strike rate from last 20 rides) is a significant jockey booking.

Odaka brings solid credentials with a 2nd place finish last start at Taree over 1400m. Previous experience at this track and distance is advantageous. Significant class drop from previous Listed and Open company races should see this filly competitive at maiden level.
Has been remarkably consistent with 11 placings from 31 starts. The likely fast tempo and backmarker-favoring track bias should suit her running style.
Has placed in 4 of 6 career starts showing consistency. Regan Bayliss is riding in excellent form with 40% strike rate at this track. Well drawn in barrier 5 and should settle on pace in a race with likely fast tempo.
Well drawn in barrier 3 and should get a nice run. The fast tempo should suit her running style, and she's shown improvement in her recent runs. Mollie Fitzgerald knows the horse well having ridden her in 2 of her 4 starts.

Perfectly drawn in barrier 1 with experienced jockey Mitchell Bell who has a solid 27% win rate at this track. The moderate-fast tempo should suit his running style, and he appears ready to improve second-up.
First-up from a spell but has been given time to mature since his debut run. Lee Magorrian has a solid 19% strike rate for the Waller stable and the horse should be ready to show his true ability.
Cada Estrella showed promise on debut with a close second at Armidale. Gets the services of in-form jockey Aaron Bullock who's riding at 25% winners recently. Well-bred by Zoustar and should appreciate the step up to 1200m. Drawn to get a good run from barrier 3 and the addition of pre-race ear muffs suggests connections are looking to help him settle better.
From the Joseph Pride stable who can produce horses ready to fire, he returns from a spell with significant scope for improvement as a 3YO.

Despite the long spell, her first-up record (0-1-1 from 2) is encouraging, and she's drawn perfectly in barrier 2 with a lightweight 53kg.
The booking of Ashley Morgan (8% at track) is a positive indicator, and the Brett & Georgie Cavanough stable is respected.
Gyra brings solid credentials as a second-up runner with improving form. While yet to break through for a win from 8 starts, her consistent form and the booking of Billy Cray (10% strike rate with trainer Nikki Pollock) suggest she can be competitive.
The William Stanley/Julia Presits combination is experienced, and this gelding should be in the finish if he can overcome the top weight of 59kg.

Ivy Diva brings the strongest recent form into this race with back-to-back wins at her last two starts. Well-drawn in barrier 2 to take up a handy position in a race with likely fast tempo, she should get the perfect run. The class rise is offset by her improving profile.
His consistent recent form (3-3-5) suggests he's racing well, and he should be able to take up a forward position from barrier 5. While unproven at this exact distance, he has placed at 1100m previously and his tactical speed should be an asset in this race.
Grassburn brings solid recent form with a close second last start just 10 days ago. While stepping up in class, she has a consistent record (2-4-3 from 18 starts) and performs well on Good tracks (2-2-2 from 11 starts). Her versatile racing pattern should allow her to adapt to the likely fast tempo, and her fitness edge could prove valuable. Mollie Fitzgerald has ridden her before which is a plus.
While stepping up in class, she has a consistent record (2-1-4 from 11 starts) and performs well on Good tracks (2-1-2 from 9 starts). The wide barrier is a concern, but with a light weight (55kg) and Christian Reith aboard (33% track strike rate), she can finish strongly in a race likely to be run at a fast tempo.

Herman Said brings the strongest recent form, winning last start over 1250m at this track 18 days ago. The 3yo gelding has a strong 67% place rate (4 from 6) and maps to settle on-pace in a race with fast tempo, which suits his tactical style. Has proven adaptable across conditions and is well-weighted with 56kg. The slight class drop is a positive and he appears ready to go back-to-back.
The 4yo mare is well-weighted with 55kg and has drawn ideally in barrier 4. While facing a significant class rise and coming off a lengthy 294-day spell, her trainer/jockey combination (15% win rate) is solid. The main concern is her lack of experience at this level and distance.
Issy's Star represents strong each-way value dropping significantly in class after racing in open company. The 3yo filly has a solid 50% place rate and draws the inside barrier which should give tactical options. First-up record is acceptable (0-1-0 from 1) and the Andrew Gibbons/Kris Lees combination (9% win rate) is reliable. The addition of a tongue tie first time could spark improvement.
The 4yo mare comes off a strong runner-up finish 33 days ago and has been racing consistently. While her overall win rate is modest (1 from 19), her recent form suggests improvement. Well-weighted with 55kg and the Collett/Portelli combination (21% win rate) is a significant positive. Maps to get a good run from barrier 5.

Progressive mare who won impressively last start at Taree over 1400m on soft ground. Has shown consistent improvement with each preparation and boasts a strong record on soft tracks (2-0-1 from 4 starts). Should get a perfect midfield position from barrier 4 and will be suited by the anticipated fast tempo. Ben Looker takes the ride for the Paul Snowden stable.
Consistent mare with an excellent record at this distance (3-1-3 from 10 starts). Finished a solid third last start at Taree over 1250m and has previously placed at this track. Gets the services of in-form jockey Andrew Adkins who has a 20% strike rate from his last 20 rides. Should get a good run from barrier 5 and will be finishing strongly.
Has won at this distance previously and should be suited by the anticipated fast tempo. The Alysha Collett/Gary Portelli combination boasts a strong 21% strike rate.
Gets the services of experienced jockey Christian Reith who has a good record at this track (33% strike rate). Will get every chance from barrier 1 and should be suited by the anticipated fast tempo.
