While debutants carry risk, the booking of Kerrin McEvoy and stable confidence suggest readiness. A place chance with win potential if handling the heavy conditions.
Encryptix showed ability on debut with a placing at Gosford. The addition of winkers and trainer's first-up record provide positive signals.
Funshow is the most likely winner based on form. Despite the wide barrier, his class edge and finishing strength make him the top selection.

Sharp Office (Bm64)
Her 71% place rate and proven soft track ability make her the most reliable option in this BM64. The wide draw is a concern but her finishing strength compensates.
Rosa Incanta benefits from the inside draw at a track that rewards forward runners. Her soft track win at Newcastle and elite stable connections provide strong credentials despite the class rise. The tongue tie addition suggests intent.
Joseph Pride typically has horses ready first up and her soft track record is strong.

Hungerford Hill Wine Country Cup Conditional (Bm68)
Silver Tempest is the strongest form pick on a heavy track. Second-up from a spell, the gelding won impressively on Heavy 8 at Taree and has a 1600m win on his record. The fast tempo expected suits his closing style, and the inside-to-middle barrier draw is workable despite the wide gate.
Deepwater Artist brings strong wet-track credentials with 3 wins from 6 soft-track starts. The wide barrier is the main concern on this leader-dominated track.
The veteran has an outstanding Newcastle record with 6 wins from 16 starts and 2 wins from 3 at the track and distance.

The Prince Of Merewether (Bm64)
Chatterley is a live chance. She won impressively at Newcastle last start and has McEvoy aboard. The wide gate is a concern but she has the class and recent form to overcome it.
Tuscany is racing well and maps to be handy. The recent 1200m win is strong form and barrier 5 is ideal. The quick back-up is the main concern but he is fit and in winning form.
Three Arrows is the most likely winner. Fresh, drawn ideally, and proven at Newcastle. The 1300m win first-up shows he is ready and the inside gate is a major advantage on this leader-biased track.
Cosy Corner offers value first-up. The class drop helps and she maps to be prominent.
