French Accord maps as the clearest form horse for Soft 6. Two recent seconds on Soft and Heavy demonstrate she handles the going and finishes strongly. Race fitness is locked in after consecutive runs and she is the one most likely to be in the first half turning for home. Wet specialists hold a decisive edge in this maiden.

Saludar brings the best dry-track form and a sharp trial win. The Sandown placing and Begg/Childs combination give him genuine claims, but the Soft 6 is an unknown and first-up status tempers win confidence relative to the proven wet runner. Still a major player if he handles the surface.
Luscombe represents the classic Maher debut profile with the ideal inside gate and featherweight. Connections and barrier give him every chance to settle handy on Soft ground.
Cosmic Command ran a clear third first-up this prep and maps well from barrier 3 second-up. Soft suitability is unproven but the recent form and map make her the value runner to include.

Lady Moscato drops sharply from Group company into a winnable Open. Soft 1000m placing and Listed effort show the engine, while barrier 4 and likely lead suit the slow Soft tempo at Hillside. Waterhouse/Bott first-up record and Stanley combo add confidence. Clear form leader despite the spell.
Egyptian Dancer brings the strongest recent Soft metro form with consecutive Open placings at Caulfield. Williams is a major plus and the barrier/map allows her to sit handy in a slow race. Proven wet-track ability and fitness give her every chance to turn placings into a win against lesser class rivals.
Second-up for the powerful Hayes yard with Mott aboard. Wide gate is a negative on Soft but the long straight and her finishing power give her a genuine each-way chance if she can improve mid-race.
Fontalicious is flying on wet ground with a Heavy win and Soft placing at the trip.

Terry Monagle Is Turning 85 Hcp (66)
Clear form horse dropping from BM74 after strong wet 2400m placings including last-start 2nd here. Slow tempo and class edge outweigh wide draw and weight. Most likely winner on pure form.
Reliable wet-tracker with multiple strong 2400m runs in higher grade. Maps to lead or sit handy on slow tempo which suits Sandown Soft staying races. Solid each-way/place chance but slightly overbet versus Shultzy's superior recent form.
Wet-track specialist who won over 2400m Heavy last start. Inside draw helps and Soft 6 plays to proven stamina. Class rise is a query but maps for a strong finishing effort if tempo lifts late.
Improving stayer who finished strongly for 3rd over similar trip Heavy last start. Maps to settle forward on the slow tempo which is ideal at Sandown Soft.

Evergreen Turf (Bm64)
Proven Soft specialist who maps perfectly to lead or sit handy in a slow-tempo race. Barrier 2 and wet-track credentials override the top weight. Strongest winning chance on pure form and suitability.
Hi Val finished a close second to Lantana on identical Soft 6 conditions last start despite a wide draw, showing she belongs. Maps to improve into the first half and is the main danger if Lantana is pressured.
Tan Tat Delight brings reliable BM64 form and a Soft-track win, drawing perfectly in barrier 3 to settle in the first half. Waller preparation and 14-day turnaround keep her fit. Recent Heavy runs were plain but she remains a genuine each-way chance if the tempo remains slow and she can improve before the 400m.
Ice Quake is progressive and just broke her maiden on Heavy ground over a similar trip. The wet-track engine is proven and she maps as an on-pace contender despite the wide gate.

Sportsbet Get On Extra (Bm70)
Saluted is the clear form horse. Excellent Soft/Heavy record, three placings from four at this exact track/distance, and a strong last-start second here on Heavy ground seven days ago. Maps to control or sit handy from barrier 3 under a moderate tempo that favours leaders.
Escarpa returns with an elite first-up strike rate and solid Soft-track credentials. Consistent last campaign including a BM74 placing and wins at restricted level. Barrier 6 allows a clean midfield trail into the first half by the 400m, suiting the Soft Hillside pattern.
Two Soft wins and a specialist 1000m record combine with the booking of Craig Williams. Wide gate is a concern but she can settle midfield and sustain a run on Soft ground. Solid place chance and each-way value.
Smart Little Miss offers genuine overlay. Class drop and barrier 5 give her a chance to improve into the first half.

Thoroughbred Club of Australia (Bm74)
Clear form standout. Won this grade/track/distance on Soft last start and followed with strong 2nd on Heavy. Maps perfectly to lead or sit handy in moderate tempo. Soft 6 and first-half bias suit ideally.
Strongest danger. Just missed in higher grade on Soft and drops perfectly into BM74. Track form solid and fitness peak. Wide gate is the only real negative but long Hillside straight and moderate tempo give him every chance to improve into the first six by the 400m. Each-way appeal high.
Maps to lead or dictate in a race lacking genuine speed.
Overlooked improver. Won last start and is a proven 1600m horse with solid Soft place stats. Maps midfield but has the finishing strength to capitalise if tempo lifts.

ive > (Bm66)
Standout form horse with two recent wins and a soft-track victory. Maps midfield but has the class and fitness to improve into the first six by the 400m on the Soft Hillside surface. Clear winning chance on pure form.
The most reliable wet-tracker in the field. Has placed in three straight on Soft/Heavy at this grade and maps perfectly to sit on-pace.
Maps to lead or sit handy from the perfect gate on a Soft track that favours first-half runners. Competitive last start on Heavy and has the tactical speed to control or stalk. Solid each-way/place chance in an open race.
Overlooked wet-tracker with genuine Soft form and the perfect map from barrier 1 under only 52kg. Recent 4ths on Soft show she is competitive at the level.

Sportsbet Fixed Odds Exotics (Bm70)
Join The Que brings the strongest recent form with consecutive wins culminating in a BM70 success. Progressive profile and distance strength outweigh the wide gate on a track that rewards first-half runners who can improve by the 400m. Clear form top despite map risk.
Stay Silent is a proven wet-tracker with strong Soft and Heavy stats and a solid last-start fourth in higher grade. Multiple competitive 1400m runs on rain-affected ground suit Soft 6 perfectly. Reliable form profile for the conditions.
High strike rates and class drop are positives, yet the complete absence of 1400m form is a material risk on Soft ground where stamina matters. Maps midfield and needs to improve into the first six by the 400m. Solid place chance but distance query caps win confidence versus proven stayers.
Stay Humble maps ideally from barrier 4 into a moderate tempo and brings back-to-back wet placings. Maher stable and Johnstone’s strong combo plus Hillside record add confidence. First-half position at the 400m is the key winning profile here and he is perfectly drawn to deliver it.
