9Rockbarton Spear
Luke Rolls upgrade boosts connections. As near-debutant in high-volatility maiden, absence of poor form is positive. Barrier 9 tests in fast tempo but pace suits closers with turn of foot. Strong top-2 form chance.

5Turning Circle
Turning Circle tops pure form assessment with 7 places from 14 starts including multiple close 2nds/3rds in maidens. Very fast tempo suits strong finishers; on-pace bias at Port Macquarie 1200m advantageous if maps midfield.
2nd pick3rd
11Pratibha
Pratibha earns 2nd pick via Maiden/Insufficient Form proxy: 40% trainer (Lees excels debutants), 30% jockey (strong combo stats), 30% pedigree (Prague/Bivouac sprint suited). Recent 6th not penalised due to data limits; blinkers FT intent signal.
3rd pick2nd
8Fashion Spree
Barrier 1 perfect for Port Macquarie 1200m on-pace bias (19% win rate); likely forward. No wins yet but improving margins and local form outweighs.
Value pick5th
2Keinbah's Gift
Barrier 3 suits pace bias; second-up stats neutral but fitness peak. Overlooked in maiden volatility; fast tempo exposes closers but strong finish compensates.
