Winner2. SpenzalotSP $1.65
2nd pick4th
1Ring Ahoy
Ring Ahoy steps down sharply in class after competitive runs in Open company, including a placing at Grafton last start. Proven distance winner with a forward gate that suits the Tamworth bias for in-touch runners. Carries top weight but class relief should offset this concern.
3rd pick2nd
4Egyptologist
Egyptologist boasts the best overall strike rate in the race and profiles as the likely leader in a genuinely slow-tempo affair, a scenario that historically favours forward runners at Tamworth.

Winner8. Big LonSP $1.80
★ Top pickWon
8Big Lon
Big Lon steps out of Open class company into a winnable maiden after two placings against much tougher rivals. The clear class relief, professional round of placings, and suitable weight make this the most reliable form-based winning proposition in the race, even without a win on the board yet.
2nd pick6th
7Staccato
Distance and track suitability are proven, and the jockey/trainer synergy is outstanding. The wide barrier is a mild concern but the recent trajectory strongly supports another bold showing.
3rd pick8th
9Fioggia
Without trial data available, the proxy case rests on a capable rider and experienced trainer, but the wide barrier at a tight, position-sensitive track is a real concern.

2Albert's Pick
Albert's Pick has repeatedly knocked on the door without winning, but her placing at this exact track/distance last time, quick back-up, and barrier 2 draw all suit the Tamworth Good bias for forward, in-touch runners. A capable each-way threat behind the top pick.

3Visualise
Visualise presents the strongest formline in the race with two wins and a narrow defeat in its last three starts, including a placing in this exact grade at this venue over the same distance.
2nd pickWon
9Southerly Buster
Southerly Buster brings admirable consistency and placegetting ability, second-up with a positive record in that scenario.
3rd pick5th
2Fulmen Filou
Fulmen Filou has shown genuine ability with multiple wins in its recent campaign, aided by a strong hookup with jockey Cassey Williams. The concern is a substantial class rise combined with being first-up, but the underlying quality and light weight make this worth including as a each-way threat in an open race.

7Strasbelle
Strasbelle is the standout formline in this maiden, with a narrow placing at this same 1400m Tamworth trip last prep and consistent minor placings since. As the likely control of a genuine speed vacuum (no confirmed leaders), she is well placed to dictate a tactical, slow-moderate tempo that suits her running style.
2nd pick5th

6Northern Eagle
A leading contender for the placings and capable of running down the placegetters.
999th pickScratched
3Kowloon Magnate
Kowloon Magnate offers the best combination of proven Good-track/distance form at Tamworth and consistent recent placings. The wide gate is a mild concern on this circuit, but its tactical speed and battling qualities suggest it can overcome the draw. A genuine each-way threat with course form matching today's conditions closely.
999th pickScratched
1Ordinary Angel
Ordinary Angel has been knocking on the door with three straight placings, including a narrow 2nd at this same track and distance last start. Barrier 2 sets up perfectly for Tamworth's forward-position bias.

A knockout blow is unproven but she rates as underestimated within this field.

2Deebo
Placed last start after a slow recovery from a wide gate, he is racing in career-best form and rates as a major threat to Imperial State, particularly with his proven affinity for this circuit.
999th pickScratched
8Sanbina
Sanbina is emerging quickly with a big rise in form, coming off a narrow last-start defeat in tougher Bench 66 company at this same track. Limited career starts add some volatility, but the upward trajectory and track affinity make her a leading each-way threat.
Value pick2nd
3Yiasou
Yiasou arrives on the back of consecutive wins, a standout formline in this race, but those wins came on heavy/soft ground and the drop back to a genuine Good 4 surface is unproven.

7Son Of Eureka
Son Of Eureka draws well from barrier 3, has a strong hold-forward profile suited to Tamworth's very fast pace scenario, and features leading Tamworth rider Aaron Bullock in career-best touch. Consistent placings across the campaign (3 placings from 12 starts) suggest he is close to breaking through, and the map plus jockey combination make him the most reliable winning proposition in this open race.

Enterprise Legend has solid credentials with a recent Bench 82 win and strong distance form, though the last-start Tamworth run was disappointing.
