Arlo's Dream offers solid each-way value after breaking through for his maiden win last start. The distance increase to 2200m suits his staying style, and Campbell Rawiller's booking adds confidence. While the class rise is concerning, his recent breakthrough and distance progression suggest continued improvement. The inside barrier provides tactical flexibility in what should be a slowly-run race.

Chance Taken maps perfectly from barrier 1 with early speed to control the tempo. His heavy track record (1:1-0-1) suits the conditions, and the long straight at Balaklava favours his front-running style.
