The one runner in this maiden with a real wet-track profile — two seconds and a third from seven runs on rain-affected ground, including a close fourth over 1220m last start when she led and was only claimed late. She also ran on strongly from last at Grafton, so the moderate tempo will not be an issue. Drawn to lead or sit handy in a race lacking genuine speed. Winless but consistently close and clearly the safest form line here.
The most reliable horse in this field over recent weeks, with a sound fourth at Port Macquarie last time and a placing over this trip at Coffs two starts back. Drawn perfectly in barrier two to sit just off what should be a moderate tempo, and he is race-fit and consistent. The knock is that he is 12 starts without a win, has never placed on soft ground, and his rider is out of form.
But nine starts without a placing is a heavy statistic, his stable has not had a winner from 20 runners, he has had seven weeks off and he has never placed on wet ground.
A lightly raced three-year-old having just his fourth start and second run back from a spell, with visors fitted for the first time and a good draw. His debut over 1100m at Beaudesert was sound, beaten just over a length, and that effort would put him in the finish of this very weak maiden.

The pick on form. Morebar ran a gallant second here in heavy going and has been placed in better company than most of this field. He should settle handy and gets a map that suits. Trainer and jockey form is a concern and he has yet to win, but he is still the most reliable of a modest group.
Her Grafton third was a good run in traffic, and she is well placed in the weights and draw.
She will lead and has some natural speed, so she cannot be dismissed. The concern is that she has tired late in all three starts and now returns from a spell on soft ground, where on-pace runners have struggled here.
Recent runs have been disappointing and he will need a strong tempo to get into the race from the back.

She drops out of stronger C3 company, has been racing consistently and maps to sit handy from barrier one in a race lacking early pressure. The 61kg topweight and first attempt at 1300m are genuine risks, especially on a soft track, but her heavy-track win and class edge make her the safest winning chance.
Her Grafton second on soft ground was a strong performance and she was not beaten far in a stronger Showcase race last time after an awkward finish.
He is a risk because he gets back in a race that may be run at a slow tempo, but he has some claims. Ben Looker is a strong booking, he has won on soft ground and his recent runs have contained excuses, including a severe check.
Her first-up run was poor, but she is second-up now, drops to 55kg and has shown her best form over further on wet ground, including a heavy-track maiden win.

The query is a lean winning record and no soft-track success, but a big class break and an ideal trail give her the chance to finally break through.
Has the best genuine winning credentials over this trip, with two wins at the mile and a near-miss when second over this course and distance two starts back before a solid run in a stronger Class 4. He drops to a winnable grade and can settle in the first half. The concerns are a quiet stable, a modest soft-track record and a habit of pulling and going wide, so he shapes as more of an each-way than a confident win play on a damp track.
He returns to his right distance after a couple of unsuitably short runs and drops slightly in grade.
The standout wet-track horse in the field, with several wins on soft and heavy ground, and the most likely leader in a race that shapes slowly run. He drops in class and has won and placed here.

The clear form pick. She won her last start over this trip in BM50 grade on a heavy track and was beaten a nose at Bowraville two runs back over 1000m, the best recent short-course effort in the race. An 18-start 1000m specialist who maps to sit handy from barrier three for an in-form jockey. The rise to 61kg and a missing soft-track win are the knocks, but she is the most reliable winning chance in an ordinary field.
Drops sharply out of 3yo features into a BM50 and brings the strongest single run in the field, a close third at Grafton on soft ground. He has early speed and won his maiden on heavy, so wet going holds no fears. The query is fitness: he is first-up off a long break, has never raced over 1000m, and his fresh record is poor. Placed claims look stronger than his win claims.
A big class drop from Open company to a BM50 and he will take up the running. He claims 4kg to carry a competitive weight and his trainer knows how to win here. But he is first-up with a poor fresh record, has never won at 1000m, and his recent runs show him leading and fading.
A lightly raced improver who won his maiden last start over 1000m and maps to be on the pace from a good gate. He showed he handles wet ground when placed on a heavy track earlier in his career and has run competitively at this trip. The obvious knock is the step from maiden to BM50 company, and a hot tempo is a risk.
