The predicted slow tempo with only one genuine leader plays to his forward-racing strength from a good draw, and his class rise looks warranted given the upward form arc.

Benzino defeated this same field last start at Doomben over the same course and distance, showing career-best form with a 2-1-2-1 finishing sequence over recent runs. Ben Thompson continues in the saddle after riding the winning run.
Artful Girl was narrowly beaten by Benzino last start at Doomben and boasts an outstanding course record with 25 runs and multiple placings here. Dropping in grade from recent tougher company adds to her claims, though the wide gate draw is a genuine query on this tight circuit. A leading contender on recent form and course suitability.
San Gabriel rounds out a very informative Doomben formline, finishing third behind today's top two picks. Solid each-way claims but was behind the top selections last time out.
Cormac T drops significantly in grade after a campaign in tougher Sydney metro handicaps, boasting a strong overall placing record.

Cavalry Man arrives with a genuine recent win and place-heavy formline on Good tracks, and projects to settle in a forward, ideal position for a slow-tempo race that suits on-pace types.
Galano brings a strong overall win rate and improving recent form, aided by a good barrier draw and a jockey booking in excellent recent touch. The unknown query over this specific distance is a mild concern, but his versatility across distances and positioning suit the likely slow, forward-biased tempo at Doomben.

High Prophet offers the most reliable recent form profile, with a solid placing in an Open race at this same track last start.

Despite a wide gate, its versatility and proven acceleration should see it overcome the draw.
Abender has a strong record at Doomben over this trip and a favourable inside barrier, but is first-up with a modest first-up record. Proven placegetter with genuine claims if fitness allows, but slightly less certain than the top two picks given the fresh factor.

Grinzinger Champ ticks the key Doomben winning boxes: fresh, in-form, distance-proven, dropping in grade after winning last start at this exact track over 1200m.
Berezka is the model of consistency with 6 placings from her last 9 runs and a narrow last-start defeat in stronger Bench.70 grade. The one query is genuine finishing ability to actually win rather than minor-placing, but the class drop and form are compelling for the placings.
Spirit Of Barty was narrowly beaten in Open grade last start at this same track and distance, and now enjoys a big class drop into Class 3.
Immediate is racing in career-best form, winning last start and consistently placing across her last several runs. The rise in class is the main query, but the form curve suggests she's up to it.

North Pole is in career-best form, stringing together placings and wins across a variety of grades and distances.
Cunnamulla Fella boasts outstanding course and distance credentials and a slightly underrated recent staying pattern, culminating in a placing last start. Some in-and-out tendencies remain a risk, but his track affinity and improving trajectory make him a solid each-way threat.
Kipling's Journey arrives in career-best form, having scored impressively last start at Doomben and now poised for a good second-up run off a strong record in that scenario.

Zoubaby steps up in class off a dominant C&D win but brings career-best form, a leading rider fresh off a rich strike rate, and the ideal Doomben profile - forward-positioned, distance-proven and fresh.
Let'sfacethemusic arrives in career-best form having won its last two starts at Doomben itself, including at today's exact trip. The class rise to Open is notable but the horse has shown professional, powerful finishes. A wider gate (10) is a mild concern but the horse's tactical speed should offset this on a tight circuit.
Taltarni Fields has previously proven he belongs at Open level, winning at this exact course/distance in February.
Cosmic Fire drops out of Listed company into this Open race, drawing a golden gate (4) at a track where forward position is paramount.
