Another Champers is the clear class reference and the horse to beat. From barrier 2 she maps to hold a prominent position and should prove too strong for this small field.

Jaime Parnell Psychology Hcp
Barbarian King is the main threat. He has a win and a third from two starts at Rockhampton, both on Soft, and his 1100m form lines up well at 1050m. Barrier 1 should let Sean Cormack control the map and park handy. If close enough at the 400m, he has the proven track/soft profile to run a big race.
La Premiere is the least exposed runner and faces a significant class lift from Maiden to Open company. The blinkers may sharpen her, and she is race-fit, but she needs a career-best performance to beat proven Open horses on a track she has never raced at.
Barbarian King offers the best value in a three-horse race. The main risk is first-up fitness after a long break, but the map and proven course form offset that concern.

He has already shown he can handle a wide draw at this track and possesses proven soft-track form. The obvious knock is his 0-8 record, but his current trajectory suggests he is ready to break through in a moderate maiden.
Boom Chika Wow showed plenty on debut when third over 1050m at Rockhampton, beaten under a length, and then won a soft-surface trial. The second-up pattern and Spirit of Boom pedigree suggest immediate improvement over 1100m. His main limitations are inexperience and a lack of official soft-track racing, but he maps well and has clear upside.
Rattlesnakewhiskey has been building a consistent maiden profile with two seconds from his last two starts, including a close runner-up finish at Rockhampton over 1200m. The return to 1100m from barrier 5 should allow him to settle handier and produce a similar effort.

Great Northern Plate (C5)
Wolfgang is the strongest win chance on form. He has already won at this track and distance, scoring in a BM65 over 1200m at Rockhampton in July before another Class 4 win at Emerald. His Soft-track record of 2-from-5 is solid, and he maps beautifully from barrier 4 in a race that favours on-pace runners.
Moochi Starlight has been knocking on the door with three straight seconds and a Soft-surface win at Rockhampton in July. He is 2-from-8 on Soft, is well drawn at barrier 5, and Satherley's local record is excellent. The main concern is his inability to win at 1200m and a modest overall win rate, so he rates as a strong place chance rather than the top win pick.
Limero is the value runner. His two career wins at Rockhampton over this exact 1200m course and distance are a powerful pointer, and he maps perfectly from barrier 2 with the bottom weight. First-up was a solid pipe-opener and his second-up statistics suggest sharp improvement.

Centre State Signs (Bm65)
He is fit, maps well from barrier 4, and has placed in 5 of his last 7.
Thee Creek is the most race-fit form horse outside Idhana, having won a BM65 over 1000m at Townsville on Aug 8. He has a 2nd in Open company at Rockhampton and has won twice on Soft. The main queries are the rise to 1050m, top weight, and an ordinary track jockey strike rate, so he rates second rather than top selection.
The wide gate is the concern, but he has early speed to cross and a Soft-track win to his name. Rates third behind the horses who finished ahead of him last time.
Gilbert's Gold is a Rockhampton specialist with strong Soft-track credentials and a consistent, in-form pattern prior to a long spell. The queries are fitness after 284 days and no 1050m win, but his track craft and inside draw give him a top-four chance.

Belvedere Miss maps perfectly from barrier 2 in a race where Rockhampton's Soft surface heavily favours on-pace runners. She drops back from Class 1 to Restricted 55, has placed at the track, and owns a Soft record of 5:1-0-1. Her last-start defeat came from a wide gate; the inside draw and stable's strong 18% jockey-trainer strike rate tip the balance. Rates clearly the most likely winner.
Today she rises to Restricted 55, tackles 1100m for the first time and draws barrier 8, a negative on this map-biased Soft course.
Snazzy Snitzel is a proven Rockhampton 1100m specialist with two wins from six attempts at the course and distance, including a strong second on Soft. He draws barrier 3, can lead or sit handy, and drops back to a suitable grade.
Making History has been knocking on the door with a series of fourths and a third in Soft-track Restricted 55/BM55 races. The booking of Chris McIver, who strikes at 15% at Rockhampton, and a first-time visor switch are positives.

Saraqael is second-up after a solid first-up second at Yeppoon and brings a 2-from-2 second-up record. He has already won over this 1050m course in Open company on Soft and drops sharply from 61kg to 54kg. The same jockey/trainer stays on, and the slow tempo with limited genuine leaders suits his forward pattern. This rates the best winning chance in a race with a clear on-pace bias.
Track Tale won the same class of Open race here 12 days ago and has the strongest Rockhampton profile in the field: 8 wins from 20 starts, 2 from 4 over 1050m and 6 from 13 on Soft. She maps beautifully from barrier 2 and should be within striking distance at the 400m. The rise to 61kg and rider change are negatives, but her local form and fitness keep her a clear second selection.
His Soft track form is consistent, with 10 top-three finishes from 14 starts, and barrier 4 gives him the chance to hold a forward position in a slowly run 1050m event. The main concerns are his poor distance strike rate, no Rockhampton experience and the 61kg impost. Still a genuine winning chance behind the top two.
He is 3-for-3 first-up, has three Rockhampton wins and three Soft wins from seven starts, and gets in with 52kg. With only one genuine leader in a slowly run race, he should control the map from barrier 5.

LJ Hooker Rockhampton Hcp (55)
Remember The Boys is the most complete profile: placed in two of his last three at Rockhampton, won on Soft at 1300m, and from barrier 5 can hold a prominent position in a race likely to be run at a slow tempo. His 1500m second last start gives a clear fitness edge. Main queries are limited career depth and no 1400m win, but the map, track record and class make him the most likely winner.
Placed in three of four starts since returning, including a fast-finishing 3rd over 1300m at Rockhampton, he should appreciate the extra 100m.
Peaking Tom is the clear map horse of the race. From barrier 3 he should settle much closer than most and is proven on Soft ground.
Luxor Prince is a consistent Rockhampton performer who maps perfectly from barrier 2 with only 54kg.
