Consistent mare showing strong recent form with last start second.
Experienced mare dropping significantly in class with proven distance ability. The class drop and previous winning form provide hope, though recent performances have been disappointing and the inside barrier poses tactical challenges.

Brazen Brando stands out with an exceptional Tuncurry record including two wins at this exact track and distance. Despite the wide draw concern, his proven ability to handle this tight circuit makes him the standout selection.
Prince Rupert's last start victory at this exact track and distance provides the strongest form reference in the race. The inside barrier is a significant advantage at Tuncurry's tight circuit, and his soft track credentials are solid. While his overall record is modest, the specific track and distance success makes him a strong threat.
Miss De Blaas brings strong recent form including a close second at Port Macquarie, and the significant class drop from BM58 provides a key advantage. Her barrier draw allows for a forward position which suits Tuncurry's leader-friendly bias. The improving form trend and class relief make her a solid each-way chance.
The slight class drop and good barrier provide tactical advantages, while the light weight helps.

Luke Rolls and trainer J C Deamer have a perfect record together, and the breeding suggests she'll handle the step up in distance. Despite the wide draw being a concern at tight Tuncurry, her class edge and freshness make her the top selection.
The four-year-old gelding drops significantly in class and draws well to settle handy from barrier 6. His distance record shows one placing from two attempts, and the step down in grade should suit. Despite being winless, his consistent efforts and recent improvement make him a strong threat.
On Me showed significant improvement last start with a narrow second at Armidale on soft going, suggesting the track conditions will suit. The three-year-old gelding carries the minimum weight and has proven soft track ability.
The five-year-old mare is second up from a spell and draws the inside barrier, while jockey Serg Lisnyy has an excellent 29% strike rate at Tuncurry.

Ms Hubble stands out with consistent recent form including a narrow second at Coffs Harbour. Her soft track record (2 placings from 7 starts) suits today's conditions, and the significant class drop from previous racing provides a clear advantage. The Owen trainer/jockey combination has proven effective.
Don't Back Down showed promise with a strong debut second on heavy track at Kempsey. The Kris Lees stable strength and proven heavy track form provide confidence, though the limited experience and wide barrier present challenges.
Show Us Ya Texts brings strong recent form with a second in BM50 grade, representing a significant class drop.

Progressive filly coming off maiden win with good soft track form. Recent placing at this track is encouraging, but the significant class rise and wide barrier present challenges at this tight circuit.

The standout selection with a perfect record at this track and distance. Won here in April and followed up with a strong second at Kempsey on heavy track. Excellent soft track record and proven at this level. The weight rise is a concern but class and track suitability outweigh negatives.
Boasts a perfect record at Tuncurry with two wins from two starts. Recent form is concerning but track record and class ability make her a genuine threat.
Last start winner at Kempsey who is dropping back in class. Showed good form with a second at Tuncurry before that win. Has proven heavy track ability and strong overall record. The wide barrier and weight are concerns but class drop provides opportunity.
