Glenroy Chaff (Bm66+)
Barrier 6 ideal for midfield in moderate tempo, suits Ascot's top-6 400m bias. Light weight advantage, good track performer (14:3-3-1). Recent Geraldton flop excused as unsuitable, represents clear place threat.

Liquor Barons (Rs0ly)
Barrier 2 perfect for fast tempo, likely leader per speed map. Ascot record solid, good track suits (24:7-4-2).
