1Outback Bandit
Outback Bandit brings the strongest form credentials with a recent narrow win and excellent track record. The significant class drop from BM65 to BM60 provides a key advantage, and his soft track record is solid. While the wide barrier is concerning at Rockhampton, his early speed should help secure position.

Sujeed has been knocking on the door with consistent placings and drops slightly in class. His recent second at this track shows he handles the conditions, and the good barrier allows tactical flexibility. Strong each-way chance.

Determination's soft track and Rockhampton records are compelling for these conditions. The good barrier draw and consistent placing record make him a solid each-way chance despite the recent ordinary run.
