Party Day is the most likely winner.
Guber is a proven performer at this track.
Leo Davinci benefits from the inside draw and track knowledge. First-up and dropping in class, he is capable of running a place if he settles forward.
Una Paloma Blanca is the value runner.

Light Work maps perfectly for this on-speed track. Barrier 1 and recent 2nd at the course/distance give her the clearest winning chance in a weak maiden.
Tongue-tie removal may help; she is the main danger if she settles forward.
She is a place chance but needs luck from midfield on this on-speed track.
Occasional Glimpse is second-up and drops sharply in class.

Adachi is a strong second pick. He has an outstanding record at the track and distance (2-1-0) and has been consistent in recent starts.
Sky Land is the third selection. She drops significantly in class from a Bench 72 and has been competitive in recent starts. Her on-speed profile suits the Devonport Synthetic bias despite the wide draw.

Star Territory is the clearest form pick. Slight class rise is manageable.
Best suited to on-speed pattern.

The inside barrier and on-speed profile align perfectly with Devonport Synthetic bias. Class rise is the main risk.
Zoete's Rock has an outstanding Devonport Synthetic record and is a proven first-up performer. Wide barrier is a concern but the on-speed profile and track stats make him a strong place chance.
Ilovethistown benefits from a good barrier and strong connections. Place chance at best.
Dancing Wolf drops significantly in class and has a good first-up record.

Maps to settle handy and benefits from the on-speed bias. Best form reference in the field.
Turbo Chook has a perfect record at Devonport Synthetic over 1150m. Drawn ideally in barrier 2 and has a strong first-up record. Needs to overcome the long spell.
Stroak Of Art has a strong record at the track and is a first-up winner. Drops significantly in class but drawn wide in barrier 12. Needs luck early.
Maps to be on-pace which suits the Devonport Synthetic bias. Good each-way value.

Simply Deep is the strongest form horse.
Wide draw is a concern but the on-speed profile and connections give her a solid chance.
Inside draw is a plus on this on-speed track but overall strike rate is modest.
Scarletti won at this track and distance previously and draws the inside. Best value runner in the race.
