Winner1. UnwokeSP $1.40
★ Top pickWon
1Unwoke

Our price $2.20 · SP $1.40 · Tina Comignaghi

Barrier 7 aligns with middle barrier bias (20% win rate), likely leader in moderate-slow tempo suits on-pace bias. Jockey-trainer combo excels at 43%.

2nd pick2nd
3Private Treaty

Our price $4.00 · SP $4.80 · Leah Hemi

Midfield settling suits track's closer advantage (backmarkers 25% win) and moderate tempo. Significant class drop from Bench.60 aids.

3rd pick5th
6Aviva

Our price $8.00 · SP $20.80 · Triston Moodley

Aviva's standout synthetic affinity (4:0-2-0, including Riccarton Park Synthetic) and track record make her ideal for consistent surface. Barrier 2 aids positioning, lightweight helps in compressed weights. Placings at 2200m show stamina; track bias favours closers. Recent fade noted but prior form and surface edge provide threat in low-reliability maiden.

Value pick6th

Value pick11th
2Malevo

Our price $9.00 · SP $23.10 · Abdul Najib

Pitman stable reliable for maidens; first-up run needed but gate allows control in fast tempo. Limited form (4 starts unplaced) offset by proxy factors in debutant-heavy field. Potential upset play.
