The clear form horse of this maiden. Her lack of a win is the only knock, but she maps ideally and holds the most consistent profile in the field.

That is exactly the set-up Dalby rewards — leaders/on-pace runners dominate.
Her early-speed rank (2nd) suggests she can sit much closer than the raw 'midfield/backmarker' label, which is valuable at on-pace Dalby. She maps kindly, but the inability to place remains a genuine risk.
Acts Alone is a value play on map and placement, not raw results.

D&NDJC Committee (Bm60)
Power Of Success maps ideally at Dalby, settling on pace from barrier 7 — the shape that dominates here, where runners in the top three at the 400m win far more often than backmarkers. He was beaten a nose over 2030m last start at BM58 and drops back slightly in weight at the same grade.
Trusty Bandit drops sharply out of Brisbane BM70/BM80 grade into a winnable country BM60 and returns to the track where he has two wins from six. The concerns are a 0-from-4 record at the trip and a midfield map, but the class relief and track affinity make him the clear second pick.
He is a genuine contender and the one to beat if the tempo collapses, but the map makes him third rather than first.
Dropping to 52.5kg, a patient ride from midfield gives her a real each-way chance if the two predicted leaders over-commit. The risk is Dalby's strong on-pace bias leaving her too much to do late.

Drawn ideally in barrier 1 and second up, he is suited by the predicted fast tempo. The concern is his deep-closing style on a circuit with a strong on-pace bias, but he is the most credible threat if the leaders overdo it.
Second up for a strong stable, he has genuine ability. The major query is barrier 13, an outside gate that has produced no winners across the Dalby sample, so he needs luck in running.
The value angle.

Our Lady Of The Southern Cross College Hcp (58)
The most dependable runner in the race. She has already won at the trip in BM60 company, so today's Restricted 58 is within range.
Comes out of stronger BM65 races and looks well placed dropping to a Restricted 58.
A consistent Restricted-level galloper who led and placed 3rd at Ipswich last start, a solid form reference for this grade. He will roll forward and control from the front, which suits Dalby's on-pace lean.
A genuine track specialist whose best form lines up here: 1 win and a placing from 5 starts at Dalby over 1000m. He is a reliable place-getter (9 seconds, 34% place rate) who carries just 54kg and maps to settle in the ideal handy/midfield position.

G.J. Gardner Homes Dalby & Chinchilla Hcp (58)
Zavega is the clear form pick. She has won at this exact track and trip, is unbeaten in two runs at 1000m and boasts a 38% career win rate. She drops slightly in grade from BM60 and carries just 54.5kg from barrier 3, mapping to settle second or third and use the strong Dalby on-pace profile.
The negatives are real: a significant rise from Maiden company, the 60kg top weight and a wide barrier 10 that forces early work against a fast tempo.
The knock is a modest 1-from-8 record and 6th/6th in his past two.
She is a last-start winner, improving with first-time blinkers, and is drawn well in barrier 4 with a solid 1000m record (1-1-1 from 5).

Purcell Civil And Construction Plough Inn Cup Mdn Plate
Now second-up, he steps to 1400m, lands barrier 1 and maps to lead on a surface where leaders/on-pace runners clearly dominate. The Peter Robl stable and in-form jockey add confidence.
Wanna Kiss is the safest each-way type in the race, having finished in the frame regularly and run a respectable 4th over this exact course and distance. She maps perfectly on-pace from barrier 3 on a track that rewards forward positions, and carries a light 54.5kg.
He is second-up and improving, and the moderate projected tempo could help him finish strongly over 1400m. However, he is a confirmed backmarker drawn wide in gate 10 on a track that clearly favours on-pace runners, which is a significant map negative. He is a speculative third pick on ability rather than a reliable one.
She is on an upward curve, improving from 6th to 4th to a last-start 3rd where she covered ground, and she gets in with a light 54.5kg after the claim. Her in-form rider and progressive profile give her each-way appeal.

Wild River Concrete Dalby Cup
Don Pedro is the most reliable form runner in the race, with a commanding 1400m record of four wins and three placings from eleven and a last-start Open win at Moree over this trip. Barrier 2 gives an economical run and Kayla Barker is unbeaten on him.
Sir Carter maps to settle in the first four at a venue where forward positions carry a strong statistical edge, and he has already won at Dalby.
Atmosphere is the likely front-runner in a moderate-tempo contest, which is a meaningful edge at Dalby where leaders and on-pace runners dominate.

Tom Frith (Bm62)
The most likely winner on form. The predicted very fast tempo sets up perfectly for her running style, and S Cormack has a strong 33% strike partnership with her. Barrier 12 is the sole query, but class and track/distance record outweigh it.
She won second-up last prep and maps to settle handy.
Well-performed at a higher level and now drops from BM70 to BM62, and he was a game third last start. He previously ran second at Dalby over 1400m and has the tactical speed to slot in despite barrier 15, with Anthony Allen a strong 33% at this track. The wide draw is a genuine risk at Dalby, but the class relief and map versatility keep him in the placings.
He has never won at 1400m but has placed three times, and he is dropping in class.
