Bowman booking enhances prospects.
Another Zonda arrives off a narrow Happy Valley victory and holds a solid 2-0-2 record at the track and distance. Despite the wide draw and top weight, his proven ability here makes him a leading contender.
The inside draw and Teetan booking are positives, but the 0-0-4 record at the distance raises concerns.
The wide draw is a concern but offset by his proven ability to place at this venue. Offers each-way appeal.

Giant Ballon is the most likely winner based on proven Happy Valley sprint form and recent winning pattern. Three wins from seven starts at track and distance with Zac Purton aboard provide strong credentials. The class drop and weight relief enhance his chances despite the moderate tempo expected.

Storming Dragon brings recent winning form at Happy Valley and benefits from an inside barrier that aligns with track bias.
The inside barrier is a major advantage at this track.
