Kai Mondo brings the strongest credentials with a perfect 3-1-1 record at this track and distance. The class drop from his last start is significant, and he's proven adaptable to soft conditions with a 2-3-1 record on soft tracks.
Presocratics brings winning momentum with back-to-back victories and is unbeaten in two starts at Rockhampton. His soft track record is excellent with 3 wins from 4 starts, suggesting today's conditions will suit.

Penrod brings solid recent form with two close seconds from his last three starts. The barrier draw is favorable, and jockey Raul Silvera Olivera is in excellent form with 5 wins from his last 20 rides. This consistent performer looks ready to break through.
Though she has limited race experience with just 2 starts, she's shown ability on soft tracks and has a strong jockey-trainer combination with Ryan Wiggins and Clinton Taylor (24% strike rate).
The advantageous barrier 4 should allow jockey Chris Mc Iver (who has a solid 12% strike rate at this track) to position her ideally in the run. The addition of winkers first time suggests connections expect her to be competitive immediately.
Her form is improving, and she has race fitness on her side with only 12 days since her last run. While barrier 11 isn't ideal, Group 1 winning jockey Georgina Cartwright can overcome this with tactical nous.

Has a solid record at Rockhampton (15: 1-1-5) and is well-weighted at 56.5kg. The moderate-fast tempo should suit his running style, and he's proven at similar distances with a win at 1500m. Clearly the form standout.
Savvy Bee comes off a last-start win over 1600m at Sunshine Coast on a Soft 5 track, showing good adaptability to conditions. Her recent form is excellent with a win and two placings from her last three starts. While unproven at Rockhampton, she has a good record on soft tracks (6: 1-2-1) and draws perfectly in barrier 1. The class rise is the main query.
Has a strong record at the track (18: 1-2-5) including a placing over this distance (4: 0-0-1). Well-weighted at 54kg and drawn well in barrier 5.
Has a strong record with jockey Paul Hamblin (2 wins from 6 rides) and has won at Rockhampton previously. Proven performer on soft tracks (6: 2-1-0) and should handle the conditions well. The weight (62.5kg) is the main concern, but the class drop compensates.

Obligated brings the strongest form into this race with an impressive win last start at Townsville. With 8 wins from 20 starts and proven ability on soft tracks, he appears well-placed to handle today's conditions despite stepping up to 1300m for the first time.
Tizso Fab comes off a strong win at Rockhampton over 1400m and has excellent course statistics with 3 wins from 8 starts at this track. The 49-day freshen-up is the main query, but his ability to handle soft tracks (3-2-1 from 11 starts) is a significant advantage.
Logan Street Lion resumes from a 166-day spell as a first-up specialist (2-2-0 from 7 starts). Despite carrying top weight, he's a class performer with previous success at this track. His soft track record (3-0-2 from 10 starts) suggests he'll handle today's conditions, though the wide barrier and weight are significant hurdles. His class edge makes him a place chance.
His recent form has been consistent with 3 placings from his last 4 starts, and he has a strong record of placing on soft tracks (0-1-7 from 20 starts). The drop to 54kg and booking of experienced jockey Warwick Satherley (14% win rate at this track) enhance his chances of running into the placings.
