Dad Bod presents as the most logical winner based on pure form credentials. While the wide barrier is a concern at Fannie Bay where inside draws dominate, he successfully navigated barrier 7 last start to win. The 4yo gelding is in career-best form with three wins from his last five starts and has proven he can handle this class level. Strong trainer/jockey combination adds confidence.

La Boqueria's second-up statistics are compelling and provide the main case for her inclusion. With 2 wins and 2 placings from 5 second-up attempts, she clearly thrives with a run under her belt. The light weight of 55kg and proven track/distance form add to her appeal. However, the class rise from BM54 to R66 is significant, and her overall consistency is questionable. The barrier is workable but not ideal.

The significant class drop from Open to BM78 provides genuine relief, and recent form shows upward trajectory with a win and placing in last two.

Our price $6.00 · SP $6.00 · Campbell Rawiller

With 0 wins from 7 fresh starts, this is a horse that demonstrably needs racing to reach peak fitness. However, the significant class drop from Open/Listed to BM78 cannot be ignored - this horse has competed at a much higher level than today's opposition. The tongue tie removal is concerning, potentially indicating breathing or behavioral issues.

Sass offers significant value as the likely uncontested leader from the crucial barrier 3. With only one genuine leader in the race and a moderate tempo predicted, Sass can control the race from the front. Strong Fannie Bay record (7 placings from 8 starts) shows track suitability. Second up placement is a query, but the tactical advantage of barrier 3 and ability to dictate terms outweighs this concern. Each-way value given place consistency.

Our price $6.00 · SP $7.00 · Jade Hampson

The 1300m distance suits with a previous win at the trip. Jockey Hampson's solid recent form (20% strike rate) adds confidence. Place chance strong.

Rampazetto is included as a value selection purely on the strength of barrier 2 at a track where inside draws are crucial. The recent second placing at Donald shows current competitiveness, and the weight drop to 58.5kg provides relief. The engagement of Campbell Rawiller, despite his lack of Fannie Bay experience, suggests stable confidence.

Field Of Praise brings last-start winning form and a light weight advantage, but the barrier 10 draw is a significant obstacle at Fannie Bay where inside gates dominate. While she's placed both times at this track/distance, she's never won here at 1300m, and the step from Rest. 62 to Rest. 70 represents a meaningful class rise. The 54.5kg impost is attractive, but from barrier 10 she'll likely settle back and need the very fast tempo to set up perfectly. Include in exotics but barrier concerns prevent stronger confidence.

Our price $4.00 · SP $2.15 · Campbell Rawiller

Unquestionably has strong credentials as a second-up runner with a 25% strike rate and proven form at this track and distance. The barrier 3 draw is ideal for Fannie Bay's inside bias. However, the major concern is jockey Campbell Rawiller having zero rides at this tight, turning track where local knowledge is crucial. Include in exotics but difficult to recommend for the win.

Hettinger is the standout selection based on track specialization and current form indicators. Barrier 2 is crucial at Fannie Bay where inside gates dominate, and the removal of ear muffs signals stable confidence. While inconsistent elsewhere, this is his track, and the slow tempo from barrier 2 allows him to position perfectly.

Our price $7.00 · SP $4.80 · Jade Hampson

The gelding has won at this track/distance before and the Hampson combination boasts a 40% strike rate. Barrier 3 is ideal on this inside-biased circuit, and 57.5kg is a competitive weight.
