5Kennedy Compound
Despite no visible form, Kennedy Compound represents the strongest winning chance. Bjorn Baker's reputation for having debutants ready, combined with Winona Costin's excellent recent form (20% strike rate) and strong trainer combination (14%), suggests this is a well-prepared runner.
2nd pickWon
8Milly Molly Mandy
Her soft track record (2 placings from 4 starts) and recent Orange placing provide confidence. The inside barrier suits her forward racing pattern, though her winless record remains a concern.
3rd pick4th
4Dubliners
Dubliners returns from a lengthy spell with significant gear changes suggesting trainer optimism. The inside barrier is crucial at Orange, and the removal of blinkers may help him settle better. However, his lack of soft track experience and extended absence create uncertainty about his readiness.
