2 wins/6 starts including soft track success, significant class drop from Open/BM68. Barrier 4 ideal for Warwick 800m sprint favouring early speed. Fast tempo suits leader profile despite on-pace bias risks.
Solid soft record (5:0-2-2), class drop, strong local jockey (36% Warwick). First up unproven but trial sharpener likely; midfield map suits fast tempo better than pure leaders.
Leader in speed map but barrier 6 tests in tight Warwick sprint; fast tempo may expose.
Barrier 2 perfect for Warwick sprint, won 800m impressively last prep despite wide draw. Improving filly first up (prior 800m win), light weight aids.

Second up from spell with recent fitness edge over first-uppers. Barrier 4 ideal for Warwick 800m where early speed vital despite very fast tempo. Soft form but Good 4 untested not penalised heavily in maiden.
Blinkers first time positive first up. Wide draw issue but superior class to debutants/poor form rivals outweighs in upset-prone Warwick maidens.
Husson's Treasure third pick via barrier 2 advantage in Warwick 800m where inside speed crucial. Light weight aids but long spell (228 days) caps confidence vs sharper rivals. Maps midfield well in very fast tempo, better than debutants lacking data.
Lowest 54kg weight big plus in maiden. Fitness from 7 starts edges spellers but poor finishing history caps win chance.

Recent 3rd in stronger Class 2 at Ipswich shows class handling, barrier 5 ideal for Warwick 800m where early speed vital. Very fast tempo suits strong finishers. In regular prep, fitness assured.
Recent form mixed but sprint best here strong. Barrier 8 tests in speed-favouring track, but tactical speed can overcome.
Light 55kg and barrier 4 ideal for Warwick's tight turns favouring inside speed in very fast tempo. Second up stats solid (2:1-0-1). BM60 suits drop in grade context despite rise label. Reliable place chance.
Lightly raced (3:1-1-0), good fresh (2:0-1-0), Good 4 proven. First up after 91 days but low exposure suggests upside in BM60.

| Scr | 12 | Prucia | 11 | Leslie Tilley | A & T Sweeney | 55.5kg |
Recent form shows consistency with placings in stronger company before class drop. Fast tempo favours her midfield style over pure leaders.
Barrier 3 perfect for Warwick's on-pace bias in fast tempo, with Damien Boche (80% at track) aboard. 18% place rate and distance experience edge out less proven rivals. Solid place chance in upset-prone country maiden.
33% place rate in last 3 shows readiness to breakthrough in weak maiden. Good track suits (4:0-1-1), but barrier 9 and jockey concerns temper win hopes. Strong place contender if maps midfield.
Track experience (2 starts) and consistent middle-distance running suit 1350m.

Very fast tempo and 0% leaders bias questions front-running style; still clear threat in BM60 country race.
Class drop to BM60, barrier 4 ideal for on-pace Warwick 1500m despite fast tempo favouring closers.
Warwick 2:0-0-1 record suits tight turning 1500m where on-pace favoured, despite very fast tempo. Class rise from lower but fitness peak overrides.
Fast tempo suits backmarker, neutral bias ignores wide draw.

Recent Doomben runs competitive despite placings; class rise acceptable given raw pace exceeds rivals.
Bluish Hue solid top-3 form chance with barrier 1 suiting Warwick's leader/on-pace bias (25% leaders win rate). Young gelding dropping slightly in grade, fitness assured after 33 days.
Cardiologist maps ideally as likely leader from barrier 2 on Warwick's on-pace favouring layout. Consistent (12% win/35% place) but topweight and unproven at trip limit appeal.
Recent form consistent (Gatton 2nd, Warwick 4ths); light weight aids in fast tempo.

Barrier 5 ideal for Warwick's on-pace bias at 1350m, likely leader in very fast tempo.
Consistent last three starts (283), Tilley aboard (25% horse combo).
Thornton booking positive (30% recent). Midfield map viable despite fast tempo, good track form but class jump tempers. Solid place chance in BM55 volatility.
Zechner strong locally (13% Warwick), suits fast tempo from midfield.
