12Miners Mate
The one runner in the field who can dictate terms. The speed map shows no genuine leader, and Miners Mate is the sole likely leader, which matters at Taree where leaders have won a third of recent races. Barrier 9 and a flat Bathurst effort last start temper confidence, so an each-way approach is appropriate.
Value pick9th
9Suvathi
A genuine roughie with a legitimate structural edge. With only one career start she is unexposed rather than beaten, and the field is littered with maidens who have had many chances without winning.

Winner3. KonomieSP $3.80
★ Top pick3rd
7Raguel
Barrier 8 gives Hutchings options to land in the first six by the 400m, exactly the profile Taree's Good track rewards. Genuine winning chance in an even maiden.
2nd pickWon
3Konomie
Konomie brings the strongest class background in the race, having contested Open grade at Randwick-Kensington and trialled a winner at Warwick Farm. The step to 1250m is untried but his pedigree and metropolitan exposure suggest it is within range.
3rd pick5th
5Parker's Paradise
She maps to be handy from barrier 4 in a race with no genuine leader, which suits a mare with tactical speed. Her only Good track start produced a second placing. The last-start fifth on Soft 6 can be forgiven on ground preference. Solid place claim.
Value pick8th
11Love Goddess
She drops back to country maiden grade at Taree, where the long straight suits her closing pattern.

Winner5. Exorbitant MissSP $4.80
★ Top pick5th
3Dark Justice
Six starts for a win and three placings marks Dark Justice as the least exposed runner in a race full of exposed BM58 grinders. Barrier 1 with a slow tempo lets Stanley park him handy and strike before the turn - the winning profile at Taree. The 60.5kg is the only genuine query.
2nd pick2nd
9Lone Star Dream
The strongest raw formline in the race. Good ground is clearly his surface with 1 win and 3 placings from 7 attempts. Barrier 13 is the obstacle, but Taree's wide sweeping layout and long straight make outside gates less punishing over staying trips.
3rd pickWon
5Exorbitant Miss
The Muswellbrook win over 1750m reads well for the step to 2000m, and Hutchings' booking suggests the stable is serious. The reservations are real, though: every one of her wins and placings has come on Soft ground and her single Good-track run yielded nothing, plus 37 days between runs on a track she has never seen.
Value pick10th
6Farraige
The caveats are that he has never won on Good ground in 23 attempts and maps back in a slow-tempo race, so each-way is the sensible structure.

★ Top pickWon
5I Am Steffi
She has won her past two starts, is only eight runs into her career and holds a Good-track record of three starts for a win and a second. Barrier 1 lets her settle handy in a moderate-tempo 1400m, which suits the Taree profile of striking from the first six at the 400m.
2nd pick7th
3Sirsa Nuwa
The most reliable performer in the race on raw strike rate, with two wins and two placings from seven starts and a Class 3 second at Taree last time out. Barrier 2 gives her the ideal ground-saving handy spot for this track's winning profile, and she has already proven she can carry 59kg when winning at Port Macquarie.
3rd pick4th
8Mosgiel Crystal
Four Taree starts have yielded a win and a second, she is only five runs into her preparation and 55.5kg lets her sit handy.
Value pick2nd
11Purple Kitty
He owns the best Taree 1400m record in the field with a win, second and third from four attempts, and both his career wins came on Good ground, the surface he strikes today.

1Shaggy
Barrier 2 lets him settle in the first half of the field, the profile Taree rewards on Good ground. He needs to find a length or two but is well placed at this level.
999th pickScratched
6Beer Baron
The most in-form runner in the race, coming off consecutive wins and dropping to 55kg. His 1000m record of 8:3-2-1 confirms the trip suits and a six-day back-up from a winning effort points to a stable with confidence. Solid place claims rather than a confident winning play.
999th pickScratched
2Not Written Off
Her 1000m record of 15:5-3-3 and Good-track record of 14:4-3-2 are the strongest distance and surface credentials engaged. She maps to be within striking range at the 400m, which is the key Taree profile.
Value pickScratched
10Difensivo
The value play. Difensivo is the least exposed runner among the main chances with a 1000m record of 8:2-2-1 and he draws the inside-barrier bracket that carries a moderate edge at Taree.

Winner2. Just In TimeSP $4.60
★ Top pick2nd
3Zaru
Zaru is the most credible Open-class form line in the race. His Taree record of 19 starts for 4 wins and 12 placings is comfortably the strongest local profile here, and the moderate tempo with a lone leader suits a horse who settles midfield and picks up.
2nd pick3rd
5Show 'em Howl
Show 'em Howl carries the field's best strike rate, has already won at Taree and owns the strongest Good-track record here at 8 starts for 3 wins. Barrier 4 is a tactical asset at a track where being within striking range at the 400m matters most.
3rd pickWon
2Just In Time
The 27% career strike rate and two placings from five at 1400m are genuine positives, and first-time winkers suggest the stable is chasing improvement. The counterweight is heavy: two badly beaten runs in succession, a real class rise, 59kg, and a record showing most of his winning has come on rain-affected ground rather than today's Good 4.

11Sinfull
The most complete profile in a moderate Class 1. She is only five starts into her career, drops back to her winning trip, carries just 55.5kg and draws gate 3, which lets her sit in the first half of the field - exactly the winning profile at Taree over 1000m. Genuine tempo will suit her sit-and-sprint pattern.
2nd pick3rd
5Dirty Does It
The most consistent form horse in the race and the ideal Taree 1000m profile. Gate 1 with tactical speed puts him in the first six at the 400m without burning fuel, which is the winning pattern here.

1The Magic Man
The most exposed and reliable form line in the race. He has a solid good-track record and is proven at the trip.
Value pick11th
9Wild Pharaoh
The best each-way value in the race. She is first up, and her first-up record reads three starts for one win, so she can be ready fresh. She drops back to Class 1 with 56.5kg.
