Zephyr Song stands out as the only runner with a placing from three starts, showing she has the ability to be competitive at this level. From the formidable Gai Waterhouse & Adrian Bott stable and with Jordan Childs in the saddle, she has all the credentials to break her maiden here. She is the clear top pick in this field.

Kandinsky stands out as the most promising runner in this field, having already placed once from two starts and showing good improvement. With Mark Zahra aboard and from a top stable, he looks set to break his maiden status here. The step up to 1308m should suit, and his recent form suggests he's ready to fire.

This Danny O'Brien trained colt has shown good speed in trials and draws a favourable barrier 2. With Craig Williams in the saddle, a top jockey for juveniles, he looks well-placed to make a winning debut against a field of mostly unproven talent. His trial form suggests he's ready to fire first-up.

Astropartical is a debutant from the powerful Price & Kent Jnr stable, drawing the coveted rail barrier. With strong trial form often indicating readiness, and Thomas Stockdale in good form, this colt is poised to make a winning debut. He is the clear best bet in this field.

Coming from the Waller stable with Jye McNeil aboard, this horse has shown immense promise in limited starts, including a dominant maiden win. Despite the class rise, the connections and jockey suggest a horse with significant upside who can handle the challenge. This looks like a progressive type ready to take the next step.

Super Choice, from the formidable Waterhouse & Bott stable, has a strong win strike rate and a good barrier in 4. With only three career starts, he has significant upside and is likely to be well-prepared for this assignment. This horse looks to be the one to beat, offering a compelling combination of form, stable, and draw.

Wolf Twenty One boasts an impressive 50% win rate from limited starts and draws the coveted rail barrier. With a strong jockey aboard and a class profile that suggests further improvement, this runner is poised to be a dominant force in this field.

Street Lark is the clear best bet here, coming off a strong win and well-drawn in barrier 1. With Luke Nolen aboard and a top stable, she ticks all the boxes for a dominant performance in this grade.
