Sweet Rebellion presents as the most likely winner with several key advantages. The lightweight of 53kg is significant in a maiden, and barrier 7 should allow Chelsea Baker (15% recent strike rate) to position perfectly midfield in a moderate-fast tempo race. The Norton bit gear addition first-up suggests connections are confident. The Bougoure stable has a solid record with debutants.
Coming off a 5th placing in stronger company, this represents a significant class drop. Ben Thompson (15% recent strike rate) is a positive jockey booking, and barrier 4 should allow a good position. The 17-day freshen-up looks ideal for this 2YO filly.
The Gough stable has a strong record with juveniles, and barrier 3 should allow Georgina Cartwright to take a forward position. While the jockey's track record is modest (3% at Eagle Farm), the combination with this trainer has produced winners. Expect to see this runner prominent throughout.
Daniel Moor is in exceptional form with a 35% strike rate from his last 20 rides. The strategic first-time gear change (ear muffs pre-race only) suggests connections are managing the horse's pre-race temperament. From barrier 2, expect this runner to be prominent in the early stages, potentially leading. The Kendrick stable is capable of producing winners at metropolitan level.

His soft track record is excellent with 3 wins from 8 starts, and he has a strong second-up profile. The class rise is offset by a significant weight advantage and his tactical versatility to settle midfield.
Acres Away brings strong credentials as a first-up performer with 2 wins from 4 fresh starts. The drop in class from his last preparation should see him competitive despite the top weight.
Emperor brings strong credentials as a class performer with excellent soft track statistics (4 wins from 15 starts). His first-up record is solid with 1 win and 2 placings from 6 attempts, and he has performed well at Eagle Farm previously.
The inside barrier draw is ideal for the 1000m start at Eagle Farm, and the booking of Vlad Duric suggests connections expect improvement. Her best form would make her very competitive in this field.

Gets the services of in-form jockey Daniel Moor (35% recent strike rate) and draws perfectly in barrier 7 to settle midfield in a race with likely fast tempo. The Jack Bruce-trained mare profiles as a progressive type who should appreciate the step up to 1400m.
Forging Ahead brings strong consistent form with consecutive seconds, most recently at Doomben over 1615m. The Kris Lees-trained gelding gets the services of in-form jockey Andrew Mallyon (35% recent strike rate) and drops significantly in class. Has proven ability at similar distances and reasonable soft track form. The wide barrier is the main concern, but the likely fast tempo should allow him to find cover midfield.
The Chris Waller-trained filly draws the inside barrier which should allow her to secure a good position in the run. Gets the services of in-form jockey Kyle Wilson-Taylor (25% recent strike rate) and should appreciate the step up to 1400m. Profiles as a progressive type with upside.
Has been a consistent placegetter throughout her career and performs well fresh. Gets the services of experienced jockey Damien Thornton and should appreciate the likely fast tempo.

Cool Moon brings the strongest form credentials to this maiden, with consistently strong performances at this level. Second-up record shows she typically improves, and barrier 6 gives her tactical options. The Wilson-Taylor/Edmonds combination adds further confidence.
Now second-up and likely to improve, this Zoustar gelding has placed at this distance previously. The wide barrier is a concern, but with the very fast tempo predicted, he should get back and be running on strongly. Trainer Tony Gollan excels with maidens and has engaged in-form jockey Jai Williams (20% strike rate).
She's proven at the distance with 2 thirds from 3 starts and handles soft tracks well. Second-up today and drawn perfectly in barrier 4, she should get an ideal run in midfield. The Clark-Peoples stable has her ready to peak, though jockey Cejay Graham's recent form (0 from 20) is a slight concern.
While the wide barrier is a concern, the predicted fast tempo should allow her to find cover and finish strongly. With 8 career starts, she brings more experience than many rivals and has shown she can handle soft tracks.

The drop in class is significant, and his consistent recent form (3 placings from last 4 starts) suggests he's ready to win. Daniel Moor is riding in excellent form with 7 wins from his last 20 rides, and the horse's tactical versatility will be valuable from barrier 4.
His impressive win at Gosford two starts ago showed his potential, though he failed to fire last start when 9th over this distance. The class rise is significant, but he's well-weighted and drawn perfectly in barrier 2. Jai Williams (20% strike rate last 20 rides) is a positive jockey booking.
Jenni Moreese brings excellent course form to this race with 5 placings from 6 starts at Eagle Farm, including 3 placings from 4 attempts at this track and distance. While she's rising slightly in class, her consistency and track suitability make her a genuine place chance.
While he's rising significantly in class and is untested at 1800m, his progressive profile suggests there's more improvement to come. Ben Thompson (15% strike rate last 20 rides) is a positive jockey booking for the Chris Waller-trained gelding.

Former Sydney galloper dropping significantly in class after a strong 3rd in Open company at the Gold Coast. The 1400m suits perfectly and Jasper Franklin's claim is valuable. Clearly the horse to beat on pure form.
Impressive first-up winner at Doomben who has a strong second-up record. Emily Lang knows the track well and the mare should get a nice run from barrier 3. Has the class to be right in the finish.
Has been racing in much stronger company and drops significantly in class here. His Eagle Farm record (2-1-2 from 9) is excellent and Cody Collis is riding in good form. The fast tempo should suit his racing pattern and he represents strong each-way value.
Mare who produced an excellent run last start when second at Eagle Farm over 1600m. Brandon Lerena has ridden her before and knows her racing pattern.

The fast tempo should suit his racing pattern, and he appears to have more upside than most rivals.
Consistent mare who has placed in 7 of 12 starts and comes off a strong 3rd in BM68 company. Has been knocking on the door for a win and should get a nice run midfield with cover from barrier 2.
Consistent gelding who has been racing in good form with a close 3rd last start in similar company. The class drop from his recent runs is a positive, and he should get a nice run midfield from barrier 3.
Lightly-raced improver who has placed in 5 of 8 starts and comes off a solid 4th at Gold Coast. The step up to 1600m is the query, but his racing pattern suggests he'll handle it, and the fast tempo should suit his style.

Progressive 3yo filly showing significant upside with a perfect record at the distance. Gets in with just 53.5kg and should get an ideal run from barrier 2 in a race with strong tempo. The class rise is significant but her upward trajectory suggests she can handle it.
Consistent mare who has found form with three consecutive placings. Well drawn in barrier 5 and should get an ideal midfield position in a race with strong tempo. The class rise is a concern, but her recent form suggests she's ready for it.
Consistent performer with excellent credentials on soft tracks and at this distance. His recent form has been solid without being spectacular, but he's proven at Eagle Farm and should appreciate the fast tempo. The significant class rise is a concern, but his adaptability and consistency give him strong place claims. Apprentice jockey is a slight negative.
While his overall form appears modest, he's been consistent at this level and should appreciate the fast tempo. Well drawn in barrier 8 with an experienced jockey aboard.
