Maritime Dream is the most logical winner. She has placed in three of her last four starts, has the lowest weight, and projects to race on the speed in a slowly run maiden. Confidence is tempered by maiden volatility and no track experience.
Coupe Deburj has returned to form with two narrow seconds, including a strong finish at Broome. The query is whether she can translate that to 1300m after a poor previous attempt at the distance. Barrier 5 and retained rider Jessica Gray help her chances, but the likely slow tempo and need for luck from off the pace keep her behind Maritime Dream.
Minozza has been a model of consistency without breaking through, finishing in the first five at his last six starts. The inside barrier and senior rider give him every chance from an on-pace position. The main negatives are the 58kg top weight and lack of a Broome start. He looks a reliable place chance rather than the most likely winner in a weak maiden.
She has the on-pace style that suits Broome's short straight and a good local rider. The first-time ear muffs are a positive gear change.

Karsavina is the clear form anchor. Her only track start is a win, and her Good-track profile is solid. The stable and jockey are in form. She maps to be closer than many and has the tactical speed to hold a forward spot.
Schuhbeck is the clear second pick on Broome form. His track record is outstanding, he drops 2kg, and the nasal strip is a gear change with potential upside. The main knock is his dreadful 2-from-62 win rate and a jockey who rarely wins, making him a strong place chance more than a confident win play.
Hundred Yards is a distance-proven on-pace runner who can take advantage of a likely slow tempo. He was narrowly beaten over 1600m two starts back, and his unplaced run over 1813m last time can be forgiven as a distance too far. Barrier 2 should let him roll forward and control the race around Broome's compact circuit.
He was far from disgraced in similar company over this trip and now gets a huge weight drop to 51kg with the blinkers reapplied. His personal best at the distance is the quickest in the field, suggesting he has the ability to feature if things pan out.

Ray's Sauce brings the strongest class and distance mix: a Class 3 win over 1205m two starts back and 2 wins from 5 at 1200m.
However, this is a significant class rise and he is not proven at 1200m or Broome.
He maps midfield and should be in the finish again. The negatives are stark: no win for many runs, top weight of 61kg and four gear changes introduced today.
Sanctions is the value runner. She has a solid 1200m profile with 9 starts for 1 win and 4 minor placings, drops to the minimum weight and draws well in barrier 2. Her 3rd at Broome two starts back shows she can run well here, and Casey Hunter strikes at 20% with this stable.

He has been ultra-consistent at Broome, placing in four of his last five starts and running a solid 4th in Open company over this trip on 1 Aug. The drop to BM50+ is a key positive, and Jefferson Tsang's strike rate with this stable is excellent. The main concern is his low career win conversion, but he maps well and is the most likely winner.
His consistent Broome record, with 8 top-three finishes from 17 starts, makes him a major player. The concern is Bonnie Casey's lack of recent winners, but she rode him well last start. He is a strong place chance and a genuine winning threat.
Alotta Dane bounced back with a narrow win at Broome over 1780m on 1 Aug, and he has won over this track and distance before. The class drop to BM50+ helps, but he was well beaten in this exact 2070m race three weeks earlier. New rider and gear changes create doubt, so he rates as a place chance rather than a confident win selection.
He has the strongest distance profile in the race, with two wins from five starts around 2000m, and he comes here off a solid 3rd at Port Hedland. The class drop to BM50+ is favourable, and the light weight helps.

| 9th | 4 | Alotta Dane | 4 | Jason Lyon | Roy Rogers | 60.5kg | $4.40 |
He has the strongest recent form profile with narrow seconds in two BM58+ races over this exact 1435m trip at Broome, and now drops to BM50+. He maps to travel midfield and can improve before the short Broome straight. Concerns about his low win strike rate and a jockey change are valid, but in a weak, volatile race he remains the most likely winner.
She is a fit, honest mare who maps well from gate 4 and should be within striking distance at the 400m. The rise to 1435m and a significant weight increase are queries, but her current form and class edge make her a prime place prospect.
The drop to BM50+ is significant and he draws well in barrier 3 under Jarrod Todd. His lack of Broome experience and a moderate last start are the main risks, but this is a weaker assignment and he should be prominent throughout.
He gets a big weight pull with only 54kg and the Rosie Mahony/Peter Bamford combination has shown a strike rate.

Her on-pace style suits the short straight, while barrier 3 and 54kg give her every chance to control the race.
Cable Boy comes off a strong BM58+ win at Broome over 1435m, beating Great Edition, and he has earlier placed in BM70+ company. Barrier 1 should allow Faithfull to slot in handy on the compact circuit. His consistency and class give him strong claims, though his 0-from-5 record at 1300m is the obvious question mark.
Coondle won over 1300m at Broome two weeks ago and now meets a similar BM64 field 5kg lighter. He has been very consistent this preparation with three placings before that win, and Tsang has a superb 22% strike rate here. The rise in grade is a concern, but his proven distance/track form and low weight make him a key player.
Zorbrist has placed in two of five starts at 1300m, won over 1435m at Broome on Jul 11, and is down in grade after a poor BM70+ run. The main risk is his latest failure, but the class drop and map strongly favour improvement.

Manavendra defeated Zadar Rock and several key rivals at Port Hedland over 2200m last start, confirming a strong Pilbara preparation. The wide barrier is a concern, but his distance record and ability to sustain a long run offset that. Austin Galati has a winning association with the horse and strong Broome statistics. In a slowly run 2200m race, his proven stamina and class make him the most likely winner.
Kings Sicario has won his last two starts, highlighted by the Broome 2070m Open, and drops to 54kg today. The 2200m trip is the main unknown, but he has shown enough tactical speed to hold a forward position and finish strongly. Natasha Faithfull is a competent local rider, and the Pateman yard is in form. He is the clear second pick ahead of stablemate Pharoah Show.
His two metropolitan 2200m runs suggest he will stay, while Jessica Gray's course knowledge is a positive. A wide gate forces him to need luck, but in a race with a slow tempo and limited depth he remains a place threat.
Zadar Rock is a genuine overlay: he beat Manavendra at 2230m two starts ago and was beaten by him last start while conceding 4.5kg. With the weight gap narrowed to 1.5kg, the form line reads significantly closer. His 11-start distance profile is strong and three recent Pilbara starts produced two wins and a second.

What's The Point arrives with the best recent form of this BM58+ field, recording two Broome wins before a close second over 1780m last start. The 1615m is an unknown but his last-start stamina display suggests it will suit.
Lucky Landing owns the key formline, having beaten Magnaburma and Capricorn Man over this exact track and trip on July 24. He then ran fourth behind What's The Point over 1780m, with the drop back to 1615m a positive. The top weight and advancing age are negatives, but his consistency at Broome and strong course/distance record make him the clear second pick.
Oscar Winner brings the best strike rate of the main chances and has thrived in the north-west with two wins and a placing from four starts. The main query is Broome first-up, but his tactical speed and current form should keep him close.
Magnaburma has been knocking on the door at this venue, finishing third then second in his last two starts, both over similar trips. The knock is Peter Farrell's poor recent strike rate, but the horse's consistency gives each-way value.
