2Archie Maximus
Strong track affinity with 2:0-2-0 at Grafton, barrier 2 ideal for leader-biased track. Forward map suits Grafton's front-three dominance at 400m. Jockey Mallyon excels here (18% win rate). Best pure form despite maiden status.
2nd pick2nd
4Amazigh Torque
Strong each-way contender with ideal setup. Barrier 3 ensures forward spot on leader-biased track. Same trainer as top pick (M J Dunn) signals stable confidence. Light weight and jockey Newman (local 10% wins) enhance chances in very fast tempo favouring on-pace types.
3rd pick3rd
6Wild Monarch
Emerging threat with standout Grafton form. Youth (2yo) suggests upside, fitness sharp after 21 days. Barrier 10 tests but speed can overcome on turning track.
Value pick9th
11Zelenka
Second up suits, light weight helps in fast tempo. Back/mid map risk on leader track but finishing strength creates upset potential if pace collapses.

★ Top pickWon
2Alleze
Debut win at 1010m on Good 4 from barrier 3 shows requisite early speed for Grafton's pronounced leader bias. Barrier 2 positions perfectly to control very fast tempo. Dunn stable and Mallyon (elite 18% local strike) signal strong intent. Clear top pick.
2nd pick4th
11Homeland
Barrier 1 ensures forward spot in leader-dominated track. Recent form mixed but track familiarity and draw outweigh class rise. Strong place claims in very fast tempo.
3rd pick5th
7Deebee's Girl
Deebee's Girl maps prominently from barrier 3 with suitable Good 4 record (1-0-2). Recent sequence 3142x shows consistency before spell, including 1000m maiden win on Good. First up record modest but forward draw suits Grafton sprint bias.
Value pick9th
4Highland Force
Recent heavy track maiden win shows ability but Good 4 exposure limited. Lerena booking (9% Grafton) signals confidence despite class rise. Midfield map from barrier 7 viable if tempo genuine.

Neutral barrier 7 allows midfield settling to exploit Grafton's strong leader bias under moderate tempo. Solid weight carrying and Peisley booking outweigh minor class rise.
2nd pick5th
7Slugworth
Slugworth shows clear improvement with 2nd in BM55 last start and 3rd prior, dropping to Class 1. Jaden Lloyd's strong horse combo stats (14% wins) a plus. Barrier 10 workable for midfield run on Grafton's leader-biased layout. Strong each-way value behind O'caldino.
3rd pickWon
8Sonder
Sonder has strong Grafton credentials (3:0-1-1 at track/distance including recent 2nds), barrier 5 ideal for exploiting track's front-three bias. Consistent form with placings in tougher company, now dropping class. Moderate tempo suits forward settling despite speed map. Reliable place chance in volatile Class 1 staying race.

Redadel is the value play with exceptional Grafton record (5:1-1-0, 3:1-1-0 at T/D). Recent 2nd at Grafton 2200m confirms suitability.
