Dawn Said So gets the coveted inside draw, which is a significant advantage over this distance at Angle Park. Her career and track/distance form are excellent, boasting a high win and place percentage. Despite recent minor placings, her overall consistency and the favourable box make her the top pick.
Optimistic Reign has been racing in tougher company and despite not winning recently, her past form suggests she has more ability than her recent results indicate. The box 2 draw is favourable, and a clean run could see her return to winning ways. The trainer's strong strike rate adds confidence.
Waikarie Koby has been consistently hitting the frame recently and possesses solid track and distance form. While box 6 is not ideal, he has performed well from wide draws previously. With a good jump, he has the early pace to challenge for a prominent position and could be a strong contender for a place.
