2Strong Minded

Our price $2.60 · SP $4.40 · Todd Pannell

Strong Minded draws well and maps to sit forward in a race with no genuine leader, playing perfectly into Strathalbyn's sharp on-pace bias on Soft.

2nd pick3rd
9Mahaler

Our price $3.00 · SP $3.80 · Teagan Voorham

Mahaler has raced only 3 times with 2 placings, including a photo-finish second at this same track and distance.

3rd pick5th
3Blazing Red

Our price $6.50 · SP $6.50 · Harry Grace

Blazing Red has shown ability on softer ground with a close second at Murray Bridge, and draws well to take up a forward position. Recent form has dipped but the barrier draw and track bias suggest an each-way chance in a maiden where handy runners dominate.

Value pickWon
4Xitan

Our price $6.00 · SP $3.20 · Connor Murtagh

Xitan is an unraced runner from a capable training operation, drawn favourably in barrier 3 with a jockey boasting a healthy track strike rate.

4Navy Rok

Our price $1.65 · SP $1.35 · Will Price

Navy Rok was narrowly beaten last start in a similar 1600m Soft race and represents the most credentialed and consistent runner in this maiden. Barrier 2 allows control of a forward position in what is expected to be a tactical, slow-tempo race - exactly the profile that wins at Strathalbyn on Soft. Clear top selection on form.

Our price $7.50 · SP $13.00 · Rochelle Milnes

8Polar Eyes

Our price $2.10 · SP $2.30 · Will Price

Polar Eyes presents the most reliable formline in this maiden - placed second in two of her last three starts including at this track on a similar soft surface. Barrier 9 is a mild concern at a track that rewards forward position, but her demonstrated big-race petrol and adaptability to wet ground make her the most credible winning chance.

2nd pick6th
5Mr Vexatious

Our price $4.20 · SP $4.80 · Stacey Metcalfe

Mr Vexatious offers the second most credible form profile - four runs without a poor performance, proven on wet ground, and drawn to get a workable forward position at a track that rewards handy runners.

3rd pick2nd
9Shamus In Pontivy

Our price $7.50 · SP $5.50 · Tala Hutchinson

Shamus In Pontivy has accumulated the most placings of any runner in the field (2 from 6) with demonstrated affinity for this track and soft conditions. While not the most naturally talented, her consistency and course form make her a genuine contender for a minor placing at worst.

Value pick7th
4Impending Fury

Our price $7.00 · SP $8.00 · Connor Murtagh

Impending Fury holds the strongest course-and-distance form in the race, with a narrow 2nd at Strathalbyn over this trip previously and consistent efforts across grades.

5Dazelles

Our price $4.50 · SP $5.50 · Harry Grace

However, first-up questions and a wide barrier of 9 in a slow-tempo race are real concerns given the track's sharp front-running bias.

999th pickScratched
12Zoutrail

Our price $4.00

Zoutrail offers the most consistent recent form in the race, stringing together multiple placings and a recent win at 1100m. Despite an awkward inside barrier in a genuinely slow-tempo affair, the filly's fitness, distance suitability and progressive profile make her a leading contender, with soft ground unlikely to be an obstacle given prior placings on the surface.

Value pick4th
8Bellentia

Our price $4.80 · SP $8.00 · Rochelle Milnes

Her consistent placing record and ideal barrier make her a live risk for the minor placings and an outside winning hope.

★ Top pickWon
4Divine Fire

Our price $2.90 · SP $2.80 · Rochelle Milnes

Divine Fire is racing in career-best form with back-to-back placings and a rapid 3-day backup suggesting she's spot on. She represents the most reliable, in-form runner in the race and the clear form-based top pick.

2nd pick9th
3United Legend

Our price $3.80 · SP $11.00 · Todd Pannell

United Legend has been racing honestly with a win and multiple placings in recent starts, showing strong affinity for soft ground. Class-appropriate and fit, he's a genuine threat to Divine Fire, though his last start form dipped slightly which tempers full confidence.

3rd pick3rd
6Chartin

Our price $5.50 · SP $8.50 · Taylor Johnstone

Chartin draws well from barrier 2, ideal for this track's sharp on-pace bias, and has strong Strathalbyn form with several placings. His last-start flop is a concern, but his historical consistency and barrier advantage make him a value-laden third selection with each-way claims.

Value pick7th

8Prince Kuro

Our price $5.50 · SP $5.50 · Ashvin Goindasamy

Prince Kuro's biggest asset is a proven win at Strathalbyn itself on Soft 6 conditions in similar grade, and he has been racing consistently without a let-up in form (4th, 9th, 4th, 1st, 1st across recent runs). Barrier 7 allows him to cross and sit forward, ideally suited to the sharp on-pace bias at this track. Represents the best blend of proven course form and current fitness.

2nd pick7th

3Prodigal Lad

Our price $6.00 · Connor Murtagh

Value pick6th
6Kalosyni

Our price $6.50 · SP $6.50 · Polly Brewster

5Allegedly

Our price $5.50 · SP $10.00 · Brooke King

Allegedly's course and distance record at Strathalbyn is outstanding relative to the field, having placed in over half his starts here.
