Our price $6.00 · SP $9.50 · Shaun Mc Gruddy

Wickiup debuts with several positives, most notably the booking of in-form jockey Shaun McGruddy who boasts an impressive 30% strike rate from his last 20 rides. The addition of winkers first time suggests connections are focused on race day performance, while barrier 6 should allow for a midfield position that suits the predicted very fast tempo.

Our price $5.00 · SP $4.40 · Joey Azzopardi

Consistent mare dropping significantly in class after racing in stronger company. While she's yet to race beyond 1650m, her racing pattern suggests the 1800m should suit.

Battle Commander brings the strongest credentials with a last-start win in higher grade (BM84+) and an exceptional record at Ascot over the mile (3 wins from 5 starts). His tactical versatility allows him to lead or sit just off the pace, which will be crucial in what shapes as a genuinely run race. While carrying top weight, he's proven capable under similar impositions and should get every chance from barrier 5.
