2nd pick2nd
6Baby Daisy
In regular racing with fitness edge. Maps midfield in fast tempo which suits Nowra heavy where swoopers improve. Class rise concern offset by wet form superiority over unproven rivals.
3rd pick3rd
4Airliner
Airliner gets heavy track inside barrier 4 as likely leader, with 5 heavy starts including a place. First up record modest but recent Hawkesbury trial and Nowra exposure (5 starts) add appeal in fast tempo.
Value pick4th
8Sogeri
In roughy territory but map/weight create each-way value in volatile Class 1 country heavy sprint.
