Sportsbet BlackBook Handicap
Loud Charlie
SPECIALBoasts an excellent 50% win rate from four starts, including two wins in his last three outings. With Mark Zahra aboard and a favourable barrier 2, he looks perfectly placed to continue his strong form over a suitable distance.
Lyrics 'N' Song
SPECIALHas an impressive 100% place rate from four career starts, showing consistency with a win and two thirds. While stepping up slightly in class, the inside barrier and solid form make him a genuine contender here.
Savitri
SPECIALShowed good promise with a win on debut and a second-place finish, indicating ability. The wider barrier and a less experienced jockey are slight concerns, but her potential suggests she could surprise.
Siriusly Hot
Despite having a top jockey in Craig Williams, his recent form has been inconsistent with only one win from eight starts. The sharp drop in win percentage and unplaced record at this level make him a roughie.
Merimbula Daniel Stackhouse
Has shown very little consistency with only one win from five starts and a poor career place percentage. His last start was unplaced, indicating he's out of form and facing a tough challenge here.
The Big Screen Company Handicap
Straand Deal
SPECIALThis lightly raced galloper boasts an impressive 67% win rate from only three starts, including two recent wins. With Mark Zahra aboard from a good barrier, he looks to be a horse on the rise and is the clear top pick.
Delivering Dakotah Keane
SPECIALDespite a recent unplaced run, his form string of 4611112 prior to that is outstanding, showing consistent winning ability. The inside barrier and high career place percentage make him a strong contender if he can recapture his best form.
Rock Them Jools (NZL)
SPECIALComing from the Chris Waller stable with Damian Lane in the saddle, this horse has a solid 20% win rate from limited starts and a recent win. While his last run was poor, the class jockey and trainer suggest he can bounce back here.
Grand Omaha
With only four career starts, this horse has shown potential with a win and a second, and a very high place percentage. While stepping up in class, the Matt Laurie stable and Patrick Moloney give him an each-way chance, especially if he continues to improve.
Heavenly Eagle (NZL)
This horse has a decent place percentage and recent form includes a win and a third, showing some ability. The wide barrier and lower win percentage are concerns, but he could sneak into the placings with a good run.
Vianarra
Despite high career prizemoney, this horse has a low win percentage of 8% and inconsistent recent form. While capable on its day, the wide barrier and lack of consistent winning form make him a roughie at best.
All Business
His form is patchy with a recent win but also several unplaced runs, and his win percentage is moderate. While he has shown flashes of ability, the overall inconsistency and a wide barrier make him a speculative choice.
Crown Crusher Emily Pozman
With a low win and place percentage from many starts, this horse's recent form is very poor, consistently finishing out of the placings. It's difficult to see him turning that form around significantly in this field.
Stow Storage Solutions Handicap
Oliveanotherday
SPECIALBoasts an excellent career record with a 50% win rate and strong recent form including a last-start win. The inside barrier and top jockey Damian Lane make her a formidable contender in this class.
Brickendon
SPECIALComes off a dominant maiden win and has a strong trainer/jockey combination in Freedman/Zahra. From barrier 3, this horse is well-placed to continue its progression and challenge for the win.
Dream Enuff
SPECIALImpressive debut winner with a perfect career record, indicating significant potential. While stepping up in class, the inside draw and Brad Rawiller give it a strong chance to remain undefeated.
Keep It Real Daniel Stackhouse
Very consistent with a 100% place rate and a recent win, showing good form. The horse has proven its ability to run well and should be competitive from a good barrier.
Immerse Harry Coffey Tony &
Has two wins from eight starts and some solid recent placings, suggesting it's capable on its day. The form is a bit mixed, but a good barrier and jockey give it an each-way chance.
Big Star
Showed a return to form with a win two starts back and has a decent place record. However, the wide barrier and a less experienced jockey make this a tougher assignment.
Alzaro
Has shown flashes of ability with a win and a second, but recent form is poor with two unplaced runs. The wide barrier and inconsistent performances make it a risky proposition.
Serinda
Recent form is quite poor, with a last-start third following unplaced runs. While capable of placing, the wide barrier and lack of consistent winning form make it a roughie at best.
Hotspur Reale
Poor win strike rate and inconsistent form string with many unplaced runs. Despite a recent win, the overall career record and wide barrier suggest this horse will struggle against this field.
Sportsbet Up & Coming Stars Series Heat 4
Ten Warriors
SPECIALThis horse is a maiden but has an outstanding 71% place rate from 14 starts, showing consistent ability to run well. With Jamie Mott aboard and a good barrier, it looks primed to break through in this field, boasting significantly higher prizemoney than its rivals.
Dama Royale
SPECIALBoasting a perfect 100% place rate from four starts, Dama Royale is knocking loudly on the door for a maiden win. With Craig Williams in the saddle for a strong stable, despite the wide barrier, its consistent form makes it a top contender.
Big Kapow Melea Castle
SPECIALDebuted with a strong 2nd place, indicating good natural ability and a high place percentage from its sole start. While stepping up from a single run, the inside barrier and promising debut make it a strong each-way prospect.
Santana
Showed significant improvement from its debut to run 2nd last start, suggesting it's finding its form quickly. The Hawkes stable and Jamie Melham are a formidable combination, making it a strong chance despite the wide draw.
Nar Nar Goon
Has shown ability in two starts with a 4th and 3rd, indicating it's not far off a win. The Stokes/Neindorf combination is capable, and a good inside barrier helps its each-way claims in a maiden field.
Lady Lonsdale
Despite a last start unplaced effort, her prior form included two 3rd placings, suggesting she has some ability. With John Allen aboard for Ciaron Maher, she could improve significantly and sneak into the placings.
Galactic Force
Has shown glimpses of ability with a 3rd place finish in its career, and comes from the Peter Moody & Katherine Coleman stable with Luke Nolen. While form is inconsistent, a better run here is possible if it can overcome the wide draw.
See No City
Has placed once in six starts, but recent form is moderate, and it hasn't shown enough to suggest a win is imminent. Craig Newitt is a positive, but the overall form string points to a roughie at best.
Silver Lightning Molly Bourke
Showed some improvement to place 3rd last start after a poor debut, indicating some potential. However, its overall career record is limited, and it needs to step up significantly to challenge the stronger maidens.
Morning Ralph
Debuted with a 10th place, showing very little in its first career start. While it could improve, the lack of any competitive form makes it a rank outsider in this field.
Gottaluvsport Valentin Le Boeuf
Consistently finishes at the back of the field, with no placings and poor form throughout its four starts. There's nothing in its record to suggest it can be competitive here.
Midnight Loot Remi Tremsal
With 18 starts and no placings, its form is consistently poor, making it highly unlikely to figure in the finish. This horse is a genuine rank outsider based on its extensive uncompetitive record.
Tile Importer Handicap

Sotomayor
SPECIALComes into this race in superb form with two wins and a second from its last three starts, showing clear progression. The Matt Laurie stable is in good touch, and while the barrier is slightly wide, its current trajectory makes it a strong contender.

En Flique
Has been racing consistently with a win and a second in its last three outings, demonstrating good current form. The inside barrier is a plus, and while the jockey isn't top-tier, the horse's recent performances suggest it can be competitive.
Kaazi (GBR)
Showed good promise with back-to-back wins earlier in its career and a solid third last start, indicating it's finding its form. The Annabel & Rob Archibald stable is capable, and with only five career starts, there's scope for improvement.
Kurakka (FRA) Thomas Stockdale
Has shown flashes of ability with two wins from seven starts and a good place percentage. The form is a bit mixed recently, but the inside barrier and a capable trainer in Ciaron Maher suggest it could bounce back into contention.
Aura
Has a win and a third from its last five starts, showing it has the ability to perform at this level. The wide barrier is a concern, but Jamie Kah is a top jockey who can overcome that, making it a place hope.
Bayou Music
Has been consistent in placing but struggles to convert to wins, with only one victory from eight starts. Craig Williams is a significant jockey upgrade, which could help, but the wide barrier and lack of winning strike rate temper expectations.
Georgie Get Mad (GBR) Dakotah Keane
This horse has a very poor recent form string and a low place percentage despite high career earnings accumulated over many starts. The wide barrier and lack of recent competitive runs make it difficult to recommend against this field.

Tookay Pete Emily Pozman

Street Conqueror
Street Conqueror boasts the highest career earnings in the field, suggesting significant class, and has a recent win. However, the wide barrier and inconsistent form string make this a strong contender with some questions.
Zemgrinda
Zemgrinda has a few wins and placings in recent form, indicating some ability, but is inconsistent. The wide barrier and moderate career percentages suggest this horse is an each-way chance at best.
Shaime
Shaime shows some glimpses of form with a recent second, but overall career statistics and recent form are inconsistent. The wide barrier and lower win percentage make this a roughie with an outside chance.
Statice
Statice has very limited starts and mixed form, with two unplaced runs in recent outings. The wide barrier and lack of consistent recent form make this horse a roughie with a high risk profile.
Tolpuddle
Tolpuddle's recent form is very poor, with multiple unplaced runs and no wins in a long time. The wide barrier and low place percentage indicate this horse is a rank outsider with very little chance.

SPECIALRhia boasts strong recent form with two wins from her last three starts and a high Win/Place percentage. With top jockey Mark Zahra aboard and a good barrier draw, she looks to be a formidable contender in this class.
