Call Me Frosty brings the strongest metropolitan form to this country maiden. Lucy Fiore's strong Kalgoorlie record (16% strike rate) and the ideal barrier 3 draw on this leader-biased track are major positives. Gear changes suggest stable confidence despite the 89-day break.
Mad Spitfire has found his niche at Kalgoorlie with three placings from four local starts. The barrier 1 draw is ideal for this leader-biased track, and his recent third here just 5 days ago confirms current fitness. While he's yet to break his maiden status, his consistent local form and perfect draw make him a strong threat.
The P J Fernie stable is in excellent form, and barrier 2 is perfect for this leader-biased track. The significant class drop and light weight provide additional advantages for this lightly-raced filly.

| 6th | 5 | Where's The Horse | 4 | Holly Nottle | P J Fernie | 56kg | $31.00 |
The Fiore/Fernie combination is proven, and recent Class 2 placing demonstrates current ability.
Last-start maiden winner perfectly positioned in barrier 1 to exploit the track's leader bias. Consistent form pattern suggests improvement trajectory, and the light weight provides additional advantage. However, jockey form concerns and the significant class rise present risks to the winning chances.
Strong place record and quality jockey booking provide confidence, but the declining form trend and wide barrier present challenges in this competitive field.

| 7th | 7 | Royal Defense | 7 | Chanel Cooper | P J Naylor | 54.5kg | $31.00 |
The inside barrier and light weight suit Kalgoorlie's leader-biased track perfectly. Strong trainer/jockey combination and proven winning ability make this the standout selection despite limited local experience.
Local specialist with proven form at Kalgoorlie including a win at this exact track and distance. Recent winning form and class drop provide strong credentials, though the barrier draw isn't ideal for the track's leader bias.
Recent close placing at this track shows current form, but the wide barrier is a significant concern given Kalgoorlie's strong inside bias.
Local specialist with excellent track record returning from a long spell.

| 8th | 3 | Natural Gem | 2 | Rocky Cheung | N L Newton | 54kg | $12.00 |
The standout selection based on recent winning form at this track and proven ability at the distance. Last start Class 1 victory demonstrates current fitness and the inside barrier is crucial at leader-biased Kalgoorlie.
Improving mare with proven credentials at this track and distance. Recent third placing suggests she's finding form and the light weight combined with inside barrier provides tactical advantages. Her previous win at track and distance is a strong positive despite the class rise.
Consistent performer who has been knocking on the door with recent placings.
The significant class drop and freshness factor could see dramatic improvement, though the lack of distance experience and poor recent form are major concerns.

Last start winner at Kalgoorlie with strong local form (5 wins from 14 starts). The Fiore/Fernie combination is proven successful, and despite the class rise, the inside draw and track bias strongly favour this runner.
However, barrier 7 is a concern on this leader-biased track, and recent form shows some inconsistency.
Impressive local specialist with 3 wins and 5 placings from 11 Kalgoorlie starts.
Strong distance and track statistics suggest ability when fit. The gear change and fresh legs after 201 days could spark improvement.

Monty Zoomer won his last start at this track over 1612m and drops in class today. Despite the wide barrier, his proven ability at this venue and class drop make him the standout.
Ideally returns second up from a spell with a strong record (1 win from 3 second-up starts). The Lucy Fiore/P J Fernie combination strikes at 15% and she maps well from barrier 5.
Military Action has an excellent record at Kalgoorlie (3 wins, 2 places from 14 starts) and won his last start here over 1300m. He has a strong record at 1400m and maps well from barrier 6. The class rise is a concern but his proven track ability gives him strong each-way claims.
She has a strong record at Kalgoorlie (4 wins from 25 starts) and won her last start here.
