Saraqael brings excellent recent form having won his last start at this track. His soft track record is strong and he's proven at Rockhampton with an outstanding strike rate. The main concern is the 54-day gap, but his natural ability and track familiarity make him a strong each-way chance.
Tizso Fab comes off an impressive last-start win at this track and boasts excellent soft track credentials. His Rockhampton record is strong and the light weight provides a significant advantage. The class rise is a concern but his recent form suggests he's ready for the challenge. The good barrier draw and proven wet track ability make him a solid each-way proposition.

CYS Weekend 10-12 April (Bm62)
Her soft track record shows 1 win and 2 placings from 13 starts, and recent form is excellent with placings in her last two starts.
Bo Bo Beware bounced back to form with a win at Emerald last start and followed up with a solid second at Mackay. His 1600m record of 2 wins and 4 placings from 14 starts is respectable, and the inside barrier draw gives him tactical options. Warwick Satherley's booking adds confidence, though his soft track record of 1 win from 18 starts is a concern.
Be Bob Aloola has an outstanding 1600m record with 3 wins from 4 starts and has won at this track and distance before. His soft track form shows 2 wins from 5 starts, and the Silvera Olivera partnership has been successful with 1 win from 5 rides. However, his last start was disappointing finishing 9th, and the wide barrier presents challenges in this company.
General Wolffe represents value based on his strong Rockhampton record of 2 wins and 7 placings from 26 starts, plus consistent recent form with three placings from his last four starts. Amy Graham's excellent 20% strike rate adds appeal, and the light weight of 53kg gives him every chance.

The recent Mackay third confirms current fitness after breaking maiden status. Despite the class rise, the combination of natural speed, light weight, and strong jockey booking makes this the logical selection.
Tenner's first-up prowess is the key angle, with one win from three fresh attempts. The recent Thangool second demonstrates current ability, while the inside draw and light weight provide tactical advantages. The gear change suggests connections expect improvement from this consistent fresh performer.
Betta Than Presley brings maiden-winning form into this class test, with the Gold Coast victory demonstrating current ability. The lengthy spell creates fitness concerns, but previous fresh form shows competitiveness.
Luxor Prince offers value through local track familiarity and the slight class drop. While the overall record is modest, the specific conditions favor this consistent performer.

Smart Mission presents as the standout selection dropping significantly in class to BM60 level. Perfect soft track record (2:2-0-0) is crucial given today's Soft 6 conditions. The gear changes and strong trainer/jockey combination suggest stable confidence despite the long spell.
Sujeed brings strong recent form into this assignment with an excellent 2nd placing last start. While his soft track record is moderate, his current form trajectory suggests he can overcome this.
Her excellent Rockhampton record and recent track win demonstrate current form and track suitability. The significant class drop provides a clear advantage, though the declining form trend over recent starts creates some concern about peak fitness.
Amberinger offers excellent value despite soft track concerns. Her recent wins and significant class drop create a strong foundation, while the 50% strike rate with jockey Amy Graham adds confidence.

Cash Artist brings class and proven ability at this distance and track conditions. However, his poor first-up record and lengthy spell create significant fitness concerns. The class drop and distance suitability provide hope, but the fresh concerns limit confidence in his winning chances.
