2nd pick7th
9Mods
Solid local record but penalized for sharp class rise from lower grades without elite black-type form. Fast tempo suits closing style if midfield, but lacks Verbosity's class depth. Selected 2nd despite favoritism due to peaking fitness.
3rd pickScratched

Local specialist Grinzinger Lass dominates Pioneer Park stats (18:5-5-2, 7:4-3-0 at T/D), ideal for dirt on-pace bias from barrier 4.
