Resolutely presents as the most reliable, in-form runner in this contest. Two placings from two runs, including a clear second at Flemington on Soft last start, give genuine wet-track credentials most rivals lack.

Ghana's Akan brings the strongest black-type form in the field, having contested Group 1 company at this same track recently.

★ Top pickWon
9First Chorus
First Chorus arrives in career-best form, having won 4 of her last 6 with a strong finish last start at this track on Soft. Her wet-track record is outstanding and her forward barrier suits a tactical, slow-tempo affair. The class rise to BM100 is untested but her upward trajectory and dominance at lower grade make her the most likely winner on form.
2nd pick9th
1Jimmy The Bear
Jimmy The Bear has excellent course and distance credentials, including a recent win at Caulfield over 1600m in wet conditions. His long-term record on soft ground is strong and he drops from Listed class. Recent form has been patchy but the underlying class and proven affinity for this exact track/trip make him a leading contender.
3rd pick3rd
5Seafall
Seafall is racing well above replacement level with a wet-track record that stands out (5 wins from 11 on Soft).
Value pick2nd

1Cosmic Crusader
Class stands out - a Group 1 winner with a perfect record on soft ground (3 wins from 3 starts) and strong first-up statistics. Barrier assessment flags a slight negative but the tight Caulfield track combined with genuine class and proven wet-form form should see him overcome minor map concerns. The standout form horse in this field on raw class and consistency.

Winnasedge arrives in career-best form, having won last start at this same track on essentially the same soft going. Good barrier draw and forward tactical speed suit the flat, tactical shape predicted today.

8Miraval Rose
Miraval Rose has been racing above this grade recently, placing in Group 2 company multiple times. Second-up and drawn well for tactical speed, with a strong record with jockey Childs historically. The class edge from recent runs against deeper fields makes her a genuine top-three chance in this race.
