9Sweet Armani
Sweet Armani brings sharp recent form including Gatton 4th two weeks back over 1100m, showing ability to handle track. Consistent placings, light weight, Taylor Marshall (11% Gatton), midfield map ideal for Soft 5. Lacks soft stats but improving trajectory in low-grade maiden.
3rd pick6th
2Rhetoric
First up record 1:0-0-0 but metro exposure dropping to country maiden.

11Excess Capital
Excess Capital drawn perfect barrier 2 for Gatton sprint bias, light 54kg, proven soft (5 runs), first up after gear changes. Recent form poor but draw/map overrides in volatile maiden. Speed map backmarker risk offset by inside gate potential to push forward.
