Lei presents as the most logical winner being second up from a spell where she ran a close second last start. The good track conditions suit her record and the step up to 1300m appears suitable.
Princess Mess returns from a long spell but has shown ability first up previously. The removal of blinkers is a positive gear change and Billy Egan's strong track record adds confidence. Her previous placing at this distance suggests she can be competitive despite the extended break.
Meka Vibe brings consistency and track experience to this contest. While winless, he's shown the ability to place regularly and his familiarity with Wangaratta is an advantage. The good track conditions suit his record and he represents each-way value.

The rail being out 3m helps negate the wide draw, and his good track form gives confidence. Limited exposure suggests upside despite the challenging barrier.
Consistent performer who has shown affinity for Wangaratta with two placings from three starts. The King/Brisbourne combination is reliable, and recent form at Wodonga over the same distance provides confidence despite the wide barrier.
The Cumani/MacRedmond combination is effective, and the weight relief helps. Distance step-up is the main query.
Value exists if the stable confidence is justified.

Worklocker Wangaratta Hcp (56)
Three-year-old gelding showing clear improvement with maiden win last start. The Ledger stable has him progressing nicely and the inside barrier should allow Bunjevac to position him prominently. Form suggests he can handle the step up in class.
Cumani-trained gelding who ran an excellent second at Warracknabeal before disappointing last start. The inside barrier and distance suit, and his best form suggests he can be competitive at this level despite the class rise.
Consistent gelding who broke through for a win at Tocumwal last start.
Experienced mare returning from long spell with solid first-up credentials. Her last start win at Moe and heavy track record provide confidence, though the long break and wide barrier are concerns.

The gelding's recent second at Moe demonstrates current fitness, while his strong record on good tracks and forward racing style suit the conditions.
Her previous Wangaratta win and recent close placing at Kilmore indicate she can handle this level. The class drop provides relief, though the extended break and jockey's poor local record are concerns. Strong each-way chance.
Parabellum's perfect record at this track and distance combination makes her a compelling proposition despite recent form struggles. The significant class drop from Open company provides substantial relief, while her proven 2000m ability and light weight are major positives. The track familiarity could be decisive.
Patrick offers value as a recent winner dropping significantly in class. His victory at Yea demonstrates current ability, while the strong trainer/jockey combination adds confidence.

Tim Aumann Plumbing (Bm52)
The barrier 1 draw suits his on-pace racing style perfectly, and his consistent placings in higher grades suggest he's well-placed to break through at this level.
His recent BM50 win demonstrates current ability, and the class drop to BM52 provides a good opportunity despite his poor second-up statistics.
The class drop and light weight provide advantages, though the wide barrier presents a challenge that her recent form suggests she can overcome.
