Flowing Riches brings solid recent form with a 3rd place finish at this exact track and distance. The inside draw is crucial on the AWT surface.

Firefoot has been running consistent races with recent placings and shows good form at this distance. The Teetan booking adds confidence and the light weight should help.

Good Chap stands out as the most reliable selection with two recent AWT wins including a dominant performance last start.
Notthesillyone offers solid value with proven AWT ability and strong jockey partnership. The recent Happy Valley win confirms current form, and the class drop is a positive. However, the 61kg impost and very fast predicted tempo present challenges for this grinding type.
Conrad The Great appeals as an improving type with his strong AWT placing last start. The significant weight advantage and inside barrier are major positives for AWT racing. However, his winless record and poor jockey/trainer combination statistics are concerning factors.
The significant weight drop and track record provide hope, but the wide barrier and inexperienced jockey booking are major concerns for AWT racing.

Talents Ambition stands out with exceptional AWT credentials at this exact track and distance (3-2-3 from 10 starts). The Zac Purton booking is significant given their strong combination record, and the horse's proven class at higher levels provides confidence.
Romantic Thor brings improving form and solid AWT credentials despite the challenging wide barrier. The recent close second shows current ability, and the Teetan/Shum combination has proven effective. The wide draw is concerning but the horse has shown ability to overcome positional challenges.
Nezha brings winning momentum from last start and perfect AWT credentials, albeit limited. The second up placement is ideal given the strong record, and the light weight provides an advantage.
The Size/Atzeni combination is proven, and the light weight plus good barrier provide tactical advantages. Limited AWT experience is the main concern, but the class drop and current form suggest upside potential.
