7State Secret
State Secret has been very consistent without winning, placing twice from four runs including a narrow soft-track defeat at Wyong. First-time blinkers may sharpen focus. A genuine each-way threat to the top selection.
3rd pick2nd
6Phantom Major
Phantom Major is an unraced/lightly-trialled type from the powerful Waller stable, with a competitive trial performance in heavy conditions suggesting capability on today's soft track. Proxy assessment via trainer strength and rider intent supports inclusion as a genuine contender in this open maiden, though lack of official form data tempers confidence.

2Cassie's Angel
Newcastle Soft maidens are historically the most volatile, value-friendly class/track combination, and this progressive type with a recent placing fits the profile of an underpriced roughie in an open contest.

7Enviable
Enviable represents outstanding class relief, coming out of Group 1 and Group 2 midfield company into a Newcastle maiden. Her worst runs here would be competitive against this level.
2nd pick2nd
3Hellfighter
Hellfighter has been a model of consistency without breaking through, with two placings at Newcastle previously and solid recent form including a close 3rd last start.
999th pickScratched
8Snitzel Miss
Snitzel Miss is the most consistent maiden performer in the field with 5 minor placings from 11 runs, including a narrow loss at Kembla Grange last campaign. First-time blinkers may provide the sharpening needed to finally break through, and the Waller stable/Grima combination adds confidence to this being her moment.

Jockey Jay Ford arrives in outstanding recent form (35% strike rate) and the barrier draw allows tactical options.

8Movie Night
Movie Night is the most reliable and consistent runner in this maiden, with three placings from three starts on soft ground including a narrow 2nd at Newcastle last time. While yet to win, the tight margins suggest it is racing above its innings and primed to break through.
2nd pick2nd
7Artgirl
A repeat of last start form makes this filly a serious winning hope, though she needs to convert placings into a win.

11Algorithmic
Algorithmic brings the strongest class credentials in the race, including black-type exposure in Victoria, and was runner-up at Newcastle last start. Second-up patterns and consistent placings suggest it's building toward a win. The lack of a confirmed rider is a minor concern, but the profile suggests this is well above its current maiden class.

★ Top pick4th
7Vexxy
Vexxy's sole start was an eye-catching maiden win at this same Newcastle 1250m circuit, and with a leading rider now engaged and a powerful stable behind her, she looks capable of building on that form. The class rise is a concern but talent shown suggests she can handle it. First starters with this profile deserve strong consideration under the proxy framework.
2nd pickWon
8Nuns Chorus
Her form trajectory, soft-track affinity, and positive jockey booking make her a serious threat to account for the step up to Class 1, fitting the Newcastle Soft profile of lightly-raced, progressive types.
3rd pick5th
9Ouragan
Ouragan drops back in grade after a genuine effort at Bench 64 level last start, finishing just over 3 lengths from the winner on a similar soft surface. The class relief combined with an improving form line and proven wet-track experience make her a strong each-way threat in this open Class 1.

Bellini Spritz arrives off a significant, genuine class drop after competing credibly in stronger grades, with an improving form line and two recent wins. Elite hoop Aaron Bullock adds real weight to the case.

Her soft-track record is outstanding and she fits the classic Newcastle-Soft winner profile - lightly raced and progressive. A query remains over the step to 2200m, but her trajectory makes her a leading contender.

As a lightly-raced, improving filly stepping up in class, she fits the classic Newcastle Soft winner profile perfectly. The class rise is the main query, but her upward trajectory and proven affinity for this track make her a must-consider in the finish.

12Jamacri
Jamacri is in career-best form with four straight competitive finishes including a recent win, carrying a favourable 53kg. The class rise is a slight concern, but the trajectory, wet-track suitability and lightly-weighted profile make this a genuine each-way claim with upside if the gap in grade isn't too severe.

5Celtic Sin
Celtic Sin has a specific and highly relevant form line - winning at Newcastle, 1400m, BM64, on Soft ground last campaign. The booking of in-form Zac Lloyd adds confidence. A recent flat run at Warwick Farm is a mild concern, but the course/distance/grade replication is a genuine positive that can't be ignored.

4Columbus
Columbus is a three-start horse with outstanding maiden form (1-1-1) including a narrow defeat in a stronger race at this track/trip. The main risk is unproven soft-track form and a sharp class rise, but the underlying ability appears well above BM64 company.
