67% place rate, all soft form (3:0-2-0). Jockey Rooke excellent at Ellerslie (17%) with strong trainer combo. Barrier 1 ideal for likely leader in moderate tempo on volatile track. Soft 6 suits perfectly despite untested trip.

Lightly raced with excellent recent 2nd at 1950m on heavy carrying huge 67.5kg, form franked. Only 3yo with upside, Craig Grylls in hot form (30% recent). Soft 6 query but handles wet (heavy place), barrier 6 ideal midfield in slow tempo.

10Brewster

Our price $4.50 · SP $7.30 · Craig Grylls

Top pick as debutant with strongest proxy signals. Craig Grylls' elite recent form (30% wins) and track record (17%) combined with barrier 5 and trainer Pertab's patterns outweigh lack of race form. Ellerslie's long straight and neutral bias suit unexposed runners. Moderate-fast tempo favours tactical settling.

2nd pick5th
3Saltburn

Our price $8.00 · SP $6.30 · Sam McNab

Strong each-way chance with best recent form including gutsy 2nd on heavy at 1400m. Handles soft/heavy well (10 wet starts, 2 places) suiting today's Soft 6 and rain forecast. Barrier 1 helps in likely moderate-fast tempo at backmarker-viable Ellerslie. Improving pattern edges beaten horses first-up.

3rd pick2nd
2Altiplano

Our price $7.00 · SP $7.00 · Jack Taplin

Probable leader from barrier 4 in speed map. Class drop from Rest.60 where placed twice on synthetic highlights untapped ability. Ellerslie's leader-neutral bias and long straight mitigate pure speed reliance. First-up record fair; fresh horses can fire in maidens.

Value pick8th
4Fleetwood

Our price $12.00 · SP $4.20 · Tayla Mitchell
