6Timeless Grace
Timeless Grace presents the strongest winning chance with an excellent jockey/trainer combination and consistent recent form. The class drop from BM58 to Class 1 provides a significant advantage, while the inside barrier (3) suits the track bias favoring leaders. Recent placings at 2nd and 3rd demonstrate current form and fitness.
2nd pickScratched
12Tragedies
Tragedies has shown consistent form in recent starts with a recent placing on heavy track demonstrating current fitness. The step up to 1900m should suit this staying type, and the Portelli stable is experienced with these types. However, the lack of wins is concerning.
3rd pickScratched
3O Cara Mia
O Cara Mia offers strong value with a significant class drop from metropolitan BM66 racing to country Class 1. The Pierro mare has shown ability in stronger company and should find this level more suitable. The missing jockey booking is concerning but the class advantage is substantial.
Value pick2nd
4Mamma Mia

4Big Time Charlie
Big Time Charlie presents as the standout selection having won his last start at this exact track and distance. The Luke Pepper-trained gelding has a perfect record at Canberra Acton over 1750m and showed excellent form in his recent BM55 victory. Jean Van Overmeire's strong 26% strike rate with this stable adds confidence, despite the class rise and wide draw.

3Taytay Bay
Taytay Bay offers solid each-way value with his recent consistent form and ideal barrier draw. The gelding's staying credentials are proven and his recent 3rd at BM66 level suggests he can handle this assignment. The inside barrier is crucial given the likely slow tempo and leaders' advantage at this track.

The Castelvecchio mare has shown consistent form at similar levels and gets weight relief. However, her lack of synthetic track experience and the jockey's poor recent form are concerning factors that prevent higher confidence.
