Topaz has the best overall form profile: a recent win over 1435m at Broome followed by a solid 3rd in a higher grade. Drops to BM50+ and carries just 54kg. Kayla Holroyd rides well at Broome. Expect her to settle just off the pace and be strong at the finish.
The Top Bar is a reliable performer around Broome, recently placing in a stronger race. The top weight is a concern, but he has the tactical speed to hold a forward spot. If he handles the extra weight, he is a major threat.
Close Talker bounced back to win two starts ago at Broome then flopped at Derby. Drops to easier BM50+ grade and gets a good draw. If she repeats her best recent effort, she can feature, but consistency is a worry.

Capricorn Man offers excellent value as a top pick. He ran a narrow 2nd over this track and distance two starts ago in the same grade, then competed in a higher class last time. The drop back to BM58+ and a 3kg jockey claim make him very competitively weighted. He maps to be handy and the moderate tempo suits.
However, she is untested against seasoned BM58+ horses and at the 1615m trip. She is respected but not the most likely winner given the class gap. Place chance.
Border Force is a genuine contender benefiting from a class drop after racing in BM70+ company. He ran a close 2nd in a BM58+ two starts back and should enjoy this easier assignment. However, the 61.5kg top weight and jockey Bonnie Casey's cold streak are significant negatives. He can place but winning might require a perfect run.
Lucky Landing is a consistent performer who rarely runs poorly at Broome. He gets a favourable barrier and the services of in-form jockey Kyra Yuill.

Fortune's Luck is perfectly suited by the likely slow tempo and Broome's on-pace bias. Drawn ideally in barrier 2, she can lead or sit handy and control the race. Recent win at the track over 1780m in this grade shows she handles the conditions. She drops back from tougher assignments and gets Rosie Mahony, who is riding well.
Star Testymony is the class runner dropping sharply from BM68+ and fresh off a close second. However, barrier 9 at Broome over 2070m is a significant hurdle, especially with a slow tempo that favours on-pacers. He may need to use energy early to find position, which could blunt his finish.
Alotta Dane is a course specialist who won this race 12 months ago under similar conditions. He gets a good draw and drops back to his winning grade. While his recent runs in BM68+ have been plain, he is a different horse at this level.
Schuhbeck is a long-time maiden winner but he consistently places, especially at Broome. The light weight and clever booking of in-form jockey Tsang suggest a bold showing.

Vevinsky is the horse to beat after a decisive win over Why Me and Gambler's Gold on July 11. He maps as the likely leader in a race with no genuine pace, which suits Broome's short straight. Despite a weak jockey booking, his form and race shape advantages are strong. The rise to Open class is manageable given his dominant recent performance.
Why Me is the most consistent runner in the field with back-to-back placings at Broome. He was beaten by Vevinsky last time but meets that rival on better weight terms today. A strong each-way chance at fair value for a place.
Wolfman has found form since joining Sue Olive's yard, winning a Class 2 then placing twice at Broome over 1780m. He gets the services of Jefferson Tsang who has a strong record for this stable.
Lautre is a course and distance specialist who has placed in 5 of 13 attempts at 1780m. He drops to 51kg with the apprentice claim and has been knocking on the door in BM58+ company.

| 6 | Lautre | 6 | Giaan O'Donnell | Ms C Godden | 51kg |
Won impressively first-up over 1100m here. Second-up record strong. Should lead or sit handy in a slow-run race. Still the most likely winner.
Has been racing well in similar company, finishing 2nd and 3rd over 1300m and 1200m. Drops back in trip after a poor run over 1600m. Should be competitive and a strong place chance.
Sempre has a good Broome record and should get a favourable run from barrier 2. His recent 3rd in BM50+ is solid, and he has placed in a Class 2 here.
Recent 2nd at Broome indicates form.

He drops in class from Class 2 to BM58+ and maps to settle just behind a fast pace, which should set up his turn of foot. The first-up stat is a caution, but his recent Geraldton win and prior Broome victories suggest he is the best horse in the race.
Delicate Ruler comes off a confident win at this track and distance in slightly weaker grade. He is race fit and has shown he can handle Broome's tight turns. The wide barrier is a slight concern, but his early speed should allow him to slot in. He is a genuine winning threat and rates as the second-best chance.
Lost Gravity is a consistent galloper who returns from a solid second at Derby. While his Broome record is empty, the fast tempo should help his closing style.
Ocean Outlaw has been running consistently around Broome without winning. He draws the inside barrier and carries just 51.5kg, which is a huge advantage. The fast pace should allow him to settle just behind the leaders and get a cosy run.

He has been consistent with a win and a second from his last two starts. Barrier 2 allows him to settle on the pace without wasting energy. The top weight is a concern, but he has carried similar weights to victory before. He maps well and should be running on strongly in the straight.
Housewife comes off two strong wins over 1435m at Broome, handling the track well. She drops to 1300m which could be sharp enough given her early pace. The light weight and good draw are major assets.
Now You See Me is the clear form horse with four consecutive wins, including a dominant BM70+ victory last start. The step up to 1300m is a query but his closing speed suggests he'll handle it. Barrier 10 is manageable given his early speed.
Mocha Dream is a seasoned performer at Broome with three placings from five starts, including two at the 1300m trip. The moderate tempo may not suit his closing style, but if the leaders go hard he could run into the placings.
