2Speed King
Speed King gets the benefit of barrier 2 which strongly favours inside runners at Emerald. Second up from spell with gear changes applied, the gelding should improve on his recent fourth placing at this track.
Value pick4th
7Pick Of The Bunch
The barrier 1 draw is ideal given the inside bias, and her recent third placing shows she's competitive at this level.

★ Top pickWon
4Zipitalist
The inside barrier bias at Emerald slightly favours this runner despite drawing barrier 6.
2nd pick3rd
2All Business
All Business presents strong second-up statistics and draws the coveted barrier 1 position. However, the poor last start and jockey/trainer combination concerns temper enthusiasm despite the favourable positioning.
3rd pick4th
3Power Sister
Power Sister showed significant improvement with a close second at Blackall before disappointing last start. The class drop from Open company to BM60 provides relief, and the pacifiers first time may enhance performance. However, the inexperienced jockey booking and top weight assignment present challenges.
Value pick2nd
6Dwayne
Dwayne represents value despite poor recent form due to significant gear changes and the advantageous barrier 2 draw.

The Squire provides solid each-way value with consistent recent form and proven connections. While the wide barrier is concerning given the inside bias, his recent close third and reliable nature make him a safe option for the placings.
