3Tawfiq Tom
Tawfiq Tom brings strong course form with two placings from two Port Macquarie starts, including a narrow second at this distance. The Luke Rolls partnership has been effective and the return of blinkers could provide the edge needed to break through for a maiden win.
3rd pick6th
6Pathelia
Pathelia drops significantly in class after competing in higher grades and should benefit from the second-up pattern.
Value pick4th

★ Top pick2nd
8Castelle
Castelle presents as the most logical winner having scored impressively at this track last start. The 4-year-old mare has shown clear improvement through her brief career and the Luke Rolls partnership has been profitable. While stepping up in class, her recent form suggests she's ready for this level.
2nd pickWon
9Kahraba
Her recent second at Taree and strong distance record make her a genuine threat, though the wide draw presents a tactical challenge on this tight track.
3rd pick5th
7Bold Splendor
Bold Splendor drops back in class after competing in stronger company and showed her suitability with a solid third here last start. The mare has a good record over staying trips and the class drop should see her competitive, though the extended break and wide draw are concerns.
Value pick6th
6Smokey Saint
The recent maiden winner is clearly improving and the reapplication of blinkers could provide the edge needed to surprise at this level.
