Power To Rule has turned the corner since shifting to the North West, winning a Class B at Derby before a solid 4th at Broome. He meets Moment In The Sun 1.5kg better than when beating him home last time and maps perfectly from the inside gate. The 1615m is the main query, but his current form, fitness and low-draw map give him the edge over the more fancied Karsavina.
However, she is unplaced over 1600m and has never raced at Broome, where the tight circuit can expose horses needing luck from midfield.
Aces To Win should roll forward from barrier 5 and use Broome's short straight to his advantage. He has placed in three of eight starts around the mile, and his 1600m run at Broome in June was close enough to the required form. The last-start failure over 1780m is a concern, but this drop back in distance and the lack of genuine speed on paper give him a genuine placing chance.
His May-June Broome form reads a close 2nd and 3rd in Class 2 company, and 1615m is much more suitable than the 1300m and 2070m tasks that produced his last two poor runs. He maps as the leader or outside leader, which is a strong edge on this tight circuit.

The map and record point to Areduet. The main knocks are her 0-from-20 strike rate and a cold jockey streak, but in an ordinary maiden she is the most probable winner on course/distance suitability.
That gives him clear upside over most of this field. However, he has just one placing from eight starts and is yet to show form at 1200m, so I rank him behind Areduet.
Coupe Deburj has the sharpest recent form of the race, finishing a close second at Derby after an encouraging 5th over 1100m at Broome. Her unproven record at 1200m and ordinary Broome 1300m run are the knocks, making her a place play behind Areduet rather than a top win chance.
She has the most favourable draw, a course profile that suits with four placings at Broome, and a gear change suggesting the stable expects sharper speed.

Fire The Guard is second-up and drops from BM58+ to BM50+.
He remains a key winning chance but is worth opposing for value.
Ocean Outlaw has the strongest recent line, having won this course/distance in BM58+ eight days ago. However, he did so from barrier 1 with 51.5kg; today he jumps from barrier 8 with 58.5kg on a track where position is vital. A slow tempo reduces his chance of being close enough at the bend, making him a genuine place threat rather than the primary win selection.
Sanctions is the value play. The drop from Class 2 to BM50+ is significant, and her last two Broome runs in stronger company were only around three lengths off the winners.

The 4kg weight swing towards him strengthens that formline.
He has the fitness edge, draws the inside, and Austin Galati is riding with confidence at Broome. A one-win horse yet to win on Good, he is a definite threat but not the top selection.
The Top Bar is a proven Broome C2 winner and has remained in the placings in two subsequent starts. He is tactically versatile and fit, but barrier 8 around a tight 1300m is a genuine negative. He has never won with Kyra Yuill aboard and has no record at this exact distance, so he rates slightly behind the top two. A place-oriented threat who should be in the finish.

Lucky Landing is the clear form anchor: he beat Magnaburma and Capricorn Man over 1615m here last start and has already won at the 1780m Broome trip. He draws the inside, maps ideally in a race with no obvious tempo, and returns to a BM58+ level where his consistency is strong. The 60kg impost is a concern, but his proven stamina and track craft outweigh it.
Magnaburma confirmed the formline last start when running second behind Lucky Landing, and he has genuine 1780m credentials with a placing over the trip here. From barrier 5 he can hold a handy position, and the slow projected tempo suits his racing pattern. He gets 4kg from Lucky Landing and is building fitness through the campaign. The main knock is his jockey's modest strike rate and the lack of a recent win, but he is a strong place chance and the next best winning hope.
What's The Point is the form horse with consecutive Broome wins, and he should be able to cross and lead a race that projects to be slow-run. That map could take him a long way, but the 1780m trip is a major unknown; his only middle-distance runs before the spell were well beaten.
He has a win over 2070m at Broome, which gives stamina confidence for 1780m, and today's 6kg weight drop is significant. Jefferson Tsang is riding well at the track, and barrier 3 offers the map advantage Broome demands.

Great Edition is the clear form anchor, having won this exact BM58+ 1435m event on 6 June, defeating Border Force. He had been competitive in metro company prior and holds strong distance statistics. The wide gate is the main concern, but he overcame barrier 8 to win here and has the tactical speed to slot in. Likely to be the horse they have to run down.
Kings Call is a proven Broome 1435m specialist with two wins from six starts at the trip. The 61.5kg is a query, but his powerful local record and rider strike rate keep him high on the winning list.
King Cartel is in good order and represents an on-pace threat. He won over 1200m at Broome in June and was far from disgraced in BM70+ company last start. The query is the 1435m trip at Broome, but his strong speed map and fitness make him a genuine top-three hope.
Canggu is the value runner. He attacked the line for second over this exact 1435m Broome trip last start and now drops to just 51kg.

Pharoah Show is the clear form line to beat. He overpowered BM58+ rivals over 1780m at Broome last start, with today's main danger Wolfman back in second. Prior metro runs over 2200m give stamina confidence for the extra 290m. The rise to Open grade is a query and his settling pattern may leave him some work at a track that favours on-pace runners, but he has the class edge over this country field.
Wolfman is the value in the top three. He has been ultra-consistent at Broome, running second in an Open 1780m last time and placing in his past four starts. The rise to 2070m is the obvious concern, but his light 53kg weight, on-pace-friendly draw, and strong stable/jockey link give him every chance to be in the finish again.
Fortune's Luck has the most attractive profile for Broome's short straight. She won over this exact track and distance last start, drops 5.5kg, and maps to be on the pace again with only one genuine leader in the race. The significant concern is class: she was well held in a Derby BM68+ two starts ago and will need a career-best run for Open company.
He has placed in three of his last five starts at Broome and has three placings from five attempts over staying trips without winning. Best kept for each-way value.
