Mishani Undercover comes off a strong third at Warwick and has the best recent form. From barrier 1, she can trail the leaders and finish strongly. The query is soft track, but with the inside draw and good fitness, she is a solid each-way chance.
He showed ability on debut on poly and has trialled well since. However, he draws barrier 12 and is likely to settle mid-field, which is a significant disadvantage at Beaudesert.
Witness Dis looks the likely leader from barrier 3 on a track that heavily favours on-pace runners. Despite a winless record, his best form has come when able to dictate tempo. Improvement second-up from a spell is expected, and with the soft 7 conditions, he may get away with controlling a moderate tempo.
Dropped to 55.5kg and drawn barrier 10, she has the speed to be prominent if she finds the front.

His recent synthetic 3rd produced the day's quickest 600m and he's listed to lead from barrier 6. Despite carrying 60.5kg and an apprentice jockey, his form in stronger races gives him a tactical advantage in a leader-friendly race.
Bruckheimer profiles as the main danger. He should be prominent from gate 5, handles soft going well, and the visor application could see a sharp peak. The 35-day gap since his last run is the minor concern.
Fortuneer drops in grade and has the tactical speed to sit midfield before improving. If a rider is secured, his track placement last campaign is a positive. However, he is not a standout on soft going and the jockey void creates uncertainty. A place chance if the expected fast tempo sets up a late closer.
At a leader-dominated track like Beaudesert, her early speed from gate 4 should see her in the crucial front three zone turning for home.

Speedy One is a consistent performer with an outstanding second-up record and proven ability on soft ground. Dropping back in class after competing in higher grades, he maps perfectly from barrier 2 and should be prominent throughout. The 62kg is a concern but his class edge and fitness patterns suggest he is the most likely winner.
Smackeroony is in career-best form with three wins from his last five starts, showing sharp improvement. He possesses good early speed and barrier 4 allows him to race prominently. The main query is the soft 7 track, as he has not placed on soft footing. If he handles the going, he is a serious threat.
Booya Boy has electric speed and won impressively on debut. However, this is a significant step up in class and he is untested on soft ground. The first-up factor and long spell add risk. If he replicates his debut speed and handles the conditions, he could lead all the way, but it is a high-risk proposition.
Albion Square is a long-shot with a poor win rate but has shown good early speed and recent form suggests he is competitive.

So Be Inspired drops from Rest 60 grade and has strong soft track credentials. She maps to lead or sit on speed from barrier 7, which is critical at Beaudesert. Her last-start third at this track on Soft 6 suggests she is thriving, and the blinkers first time could sharpen her speed. The main query is the jockey's lack of track success, but she has the class and form to overcome it.
Bean Ball is second up from a spell and has an excellent second-up record (1 win, 3 starts). Barrier 5 suits Beaudesert's leader-dominated profile, and he has proven he can handle soft ground. While his recent form is unflattering, he may have needed that first-up run.
However, barrier 10 means she will likely settle back, which is a major negative at Beaudesert where front-three runners dominate. If the tempo is fast and she gets clear running late, she can threaten, but she needs plenty of luck.
He drops from BM68 grade to BM50 and has been competitive in higher class. The major risk is that no jockey is listed, which suggests possible scratching or late booking. If he gets a competent rider, he is the best value in the race.

Chicago King drops in class to BM55 after racing in higher grades. From barrier 3, he should settle on the speed in a leader-dominated track. Although he has only one win, he consistently places. The class drop, strong jockey Boris Thornton, and ideal draw make him the horse to beat.
Takunai loves Beaudesert, with four seconds and two thirds from ten starts. He drops in class from BM65 and has been consistent in recent runs. Although barrier 8 is not ideal, he can settle in the midfield and benefit if the leaders tire on the soft ground. His soft-track form is solid, making him a strong place contender.
Decarbonise has a strong Beaudesert record with a win and a second from five starts. He drops to BM55 and draws barrier 2, which is a major advantage on a track that strongly favours front-three positions.

The Catch ticks every box for this assignment: soft-track prowess, course and distance success, and a map that puts him on the speed where Beaudesert winners must be. He drops from a stronger BM65 to a BM60 and won with authority last time. The main negative is the jockey, but the horse's ability to control the race from barrier 5 makes him the clear top pick.
She'll need a genuine tempo and luck to get into the finish. Place claims at best.
Moet At Midnight has a handy barrier and strong course knowledge, but his closing style is exactly the profile that struggles most here. He'll need a race set up for swoopers. Place hope if the leaders backfire.
