Wario stands out as the class of the field, boasting an impressive win rate and strong form at this track and distance. Despite a wide draw, her early pace and ability to handle traffic should see her overcome it and contend for the lead. Her trainer's excellent strike rate further bolsters confidence in her performance.

My Boy Josh has a solid record at Mt Gambier and showed a glimpse of his best with a swift 23.15 over 437y recently, indicating he has the speed. While his recent form over shorter trips has been mixed, his overall track experience and potential for early speed from the wide draw could see him challenge for a top-three spot.
Strong track experience (11 wins from 54 starts)Potential for early pace from wide drawCapable of sharp times on his day
Form Guide Comment: Hit the frame at this track last time when a 5 length third but did record a swift 23.15 over the 437y journey. Looks the one to beat with a repeat of that effort.

Princetown Flyer, despite a couple of unplaced runs, has shown ability at this track, including a recent win over 560y. The wide draw can be an advantage for her, allowing her to find clear running. With a trainer in good form, she could bounce back strongly in this Masters feature.
Favourable wide draw for a run-on typeTrainer in excellent recent form (26% L50 win rate)Capable of sharp performances when on song
Form Guide Comment: Latest effort finished 6th over 560y at this track beaten 8 lengths (30.11) behind Flying Artie in a OPEN on March 29. Below best last time but looks well placed here. Deserves another chance.
