Better value exists elsewhere in the field.
Nikody's Casper offers each-way value as a consistent place-getter who has shown ability at this track. The second-up positioning and previous course form provide a solid foundation, though the lack of wins remains a concern for outright victory chances.
Risk And Famous represents speculative value as a fresh gelding from the powerful Kris Lees stable. The inside draw and weight relief from the apprentice provide tactical advantages, while the gelding operation could unlock significant improvement from his disappointing debut.

Cool Summer Nights represents the best winning chance as a Russian Revolution filly returning fresh from a 162-day spell. Her debut fifth at Coffs Harbour showed natural ability, and the inside barrier draw is crucial at Taree. The Doyle stable's 11% strike rate with Morgan and the filly's pedigree suitability for 1312m make her the most likely winner despite limited experience.
The Brutal filly showed clear improvement at Beaumont and benefits from Lee Magorrian's strong 17% strike rate at Taree.
Dianella represents excellent value as a debut runner from Nathan Doyle's stable with Luke Rolls aboard. Rolls' outstanding 30% recent strike rate and the addition of ear muffs suggest significant stable confidence. As an unknown quantity in a competitive maiden field, the lack of exposed form could be a major advantage if the stable has her primed for debut success.

The gear changes removing blinkers and adding tongue control bit could unlock further improvement.
The Simple Life brings strong wet track credentials and consistent placing ability to this contest. The barrier 2 draw provides tactical advantage for Newman to secure a forward position.

Second up from a spell typically sees improvement, and the Ashley Morgan combination has been successful.
His UK racing background suggests genuine ability, and the inside barrier provides tactical options. Recent form has been disappointing, but the class drop could unlock improvement.
