Magain Real Estate Maiden Plate
Largs Legacy Taylor Johnstone
SPECIALThis horse has the strongest recent form with two consecutive 2nd placings, indicating it's knocking on the door for a maiden win. Despite the wide barrier, its consistent improvement and high place percentage make it the clear favourite in this field.
Kohala
SPECIALKohala showed good improvement last start with a 3rd place and has a decent place percentage for a maiden. The inside barrier and experienced jockey Jason Holder are significant advantages, making it a strong contender.
Miss Trombari Sairyn Fawke
SPECIALA 2nd placing two starts ago shows this mare has some ability, and the form string is better than many others here. While recent form is a bit mixed, the potential for improvement at this distance makes her an each-way chance.
Lillikins Brooke King (a-1.5) Dion &
Lillikins has a 2nd placing in its career and a 3rd and 4th recently, suggesting it's capable of running into the placings. The apprentice jockey claim helps, and it's another one that could be around the money.
Valued (NZL) Tala Hutchinson
This horse showed a 3rd and 4th placing a few starts back, indicating some potential, and is lightly raced compared to some. With a good barrier and a capable jockey, it's an each-way chance if it can recapture that form.
Harlem Godfather Connor Murtagh
Despite a good barrier and experienced jockey, this horse's form string is very poor with no wins from 17 starts and recent unplaced efforts. It's hard to make a strong case for it to break its maiden here.
Sir Aali Stacey Metcalfe
Sir Aali has a long career without a win and recent form is consistently poor, making it a roughie at best. While it has some placings in its career, current form doesn't inspire confidence.
Qatar Will Price
This horse is lightly raced but has shown nothing to suggest it's close to a win, with no placings from 6 starts. It would need significant improvement to feature in this field.
Goochee Gal
With no placings from 16 starts and consistently poor recent form, Goochee Gal is a rank outsider. There is little to suggest it can compete effectively in this race.
Sassy Summer Lauren Stojakovic
Sassy Summer has a very poor career record with no placings from 12 starts and consistently finishing towards the rear. It is difficult to see this horse challenging for a win or placing.
Ray White Real Estate Maiden Plate
Discreetly Blue
SPECIALThis horse boasts an impressive 58% place rate, including three second-place finishes in its last five starts, indicating strong maiden form. With top jockey Jason Holder aboard and drawing barrier 3, all signs point to a breakthrough win here.
All Too True
SPECIALDespite a 0% win rate from 20 starts, All Too True has placed 30% of the time and has shown recent competitive form with a second-place finish. The inside barrier and Jackson Murphy aboard give it a strong chance to break its maiden.
Love To Lie Will Price
SPECIALMaking only its second career start, Love To Lie showed promise with a third-place finish on debut, suggesting natural ability. While the wide barrier is a concern, Will Price is a capable jockey who can navigate the field.
Boolcunda Dawn Teagan Voorham Peter &
With a recent second-place finish from barrier 11, Boolcunda Dawn has shown it can be competitive despite wider draws. The horse is improving with each run, making it a solid each-way prospect in this field.
Broke The Seal Alysha Warren
This runner placed second on debut and has had a couple of unplaced runs since, but the early form suggests some ability. With only four career starts, there's scope for improvement, making it a potential place getter.
Marcel Brooke King (a-1.5)
Marcel placed second on debut, indicating some raw talent, but has been unplaced in subsequent runs. The small career earnings and limited starts suggest it's still finding its feet, but could surprise with a better effort.
Sweet Kick Dom Tourneur
Sweet Kick has a 10% place rate and a second-place finish four starts back, showing glimpses of form. However, recent runs have been disappointing, and the wide barrier makes it a roughie.
Ashreign Isaac Sit
Ashreign showed a third-place finish three starts ago, but its overall form string is inconsistent with many unplaced runs. It's a long shot that would need significant improvement to feature.
Whiskey Warrior (NZL) Dylan Caboche
Having only one career start resulting in a ninth-place finish, Whiskey Warrior is largely unproven. It's difficult to assess its potential, making it a speculative pick at best.
Wrath
Despite a couple of place finishes earlier in its career, Wrath has a poor recent form string and a very low place percentage from many starts. The wide barrier further diminishes its chances.
Hood Rat (NZL) Sairyn Fawke
With 24 starts and only one place, Hood Rat has consistently struggled to find the winner's circle or even place. Its recent form is poor, indicating it's a rank outsider in this field.
Funny Feeling
Funny Feeling has a very low place percentage from 23 starts and consistently finishes unplaced in recent runs. Its form suggests it will struggle to be competitive here.
Charming Dexter Connor Murtagh
With zero wins or places from eight career starts and consistently poor recent form, Charming Dexter is a genuine rank outsider. It's highly unlikely to feature in the finish.
Capetal Advisory Maiden Plate
Tour De Moon
SPECIALThis horse showed promise on debut with a 3rd place finish, indicating natural ability. With the benefit of that run and a strong jockey aboard from an ideal barrier, it's primed to improve significantly in this maiden field.
Madam Milly Dom Tourneur
SPECIALThis horse showed promise on debut with a 3rd place finish, indicating natural ability. With the benefit of that run and a strong jockey aboard from an ideal barrier, it's primed to improve significantly in this maiden field.
Tiddy Widdy (NZL) Taylor Johnstone Gordon Richards &
SPECIALDespite being a maiden after 16 starts, Tiddy Widdy has shown consistent place form and has the highest prizemoney in the field, suggesting some class. The wide barrier is a concern, but its experience and recent placings make it a strong contender.
Now East Rochelle Milnes
SPECIALNow East has shown glimpses of ability with a 2nd and 3rd in recent starts, indicating improvement. From barrier 2, it should get a good run and has the potential to break through in this moderate maiden.
Hedged Your Bets Wesley Cave
With 28 starts and no wins, this horse is a perennial maiden, but its 29% place strike rate shows it can run into the money. From barrier 1, it will get a soft run and could sneak a minor placing.
Supreme Valkyrie
Supreme Valkyrie has placed twice but her recent form has been poor, and she's drawn the widest barrier. While she has some past form, her current trajectory and barrier make her a roughie at best.
Gerace
Gerace has had 11 starts for only one placing, and recent form is not inspiring. While it has some experience, its overall record and lack of winning intent make it a long shot.
Woodstock Connor Murtagh
Woodstock has shown limited form in three starts, with a distant 3rd being its best effort. It needs significant improvement to be competitive here, but the small sample size offers some hope.
Fine Ace
With four starts and no placings, Fine Ace has shown very little to suggest it can win or place in this field. The wide barrier further diminishes its already slim chances.
Trevidi Jacob Opperman
Trevidi has had two unplaced runs and finished well back in both, indicating it's still very green and needs more time. From a very wide barrier, it's hard to see it featuring prominently.
Coopers Brewery Fillies & Mares Rating 0 - 56 Handicap
Grinzinger Gold (IRL) Brooke King (a-1.5)
SPECIALBoasts the best recent form with a last-start win and multiple placings, indicating strong current fitness. The inside barrier and high place percentage make it a very reliable contender in this field.
In Your Words Tala Hutchinson
SPECIALBoasts the best recent form with a last-start win and multiple placings, indicating strong current fitness. The inside barrier and high place percentage make it a very reliable contender in this field.
Blue Isles Rochelle Milnes
SPECIALShowed good form with a win earlier in its career and has placed recently, suggesting it's capable on its day. Barrier 3 is ideal, and with a slight class drop, it could be competitive.
Piwhane Alysha Warren
SPECIALDespite a high career earnings and multiple wins, recent form is inconsistent with a few unplaced runs. However, its win percentage and experience at this level make it an each-way chance if it finds its best.
Limbering Stacey Metcalfe
A very experienced mare with high career earnings and wins, but her recent form is moderate, showing glimpses of ability mixed with unplaced runs. She could sneak into the placings if the pace suits.
Reigning Star Wesley Cave
Has shown some ability with a recent win and placings, but consistency is a concern. The wide barrier draw is a disadvantage, but a good run could see it challenge for a minor placing.
Omaha Princess Shuichi Terachi
Has a win to its name but is very lightly raced with inconsistent form, making it hard to assess. While the inside barrier is a plus, the lack of recent consistent form makes it a risky proposition.
Scandalist Isaac Sit
Recent form is poor, consistently finishing unplaced, and career statistics are not inspiring. It's difficult to see this horse making an impact in this race.
Alaskan Storm Margaret Collett
Has been out of form for an extended period, with numerous unplaced runs in its recent starts. A significant turnaround would be required for it to feature here.
Harcourts Adelaide Hills Class One Handicap
Uncle Barry (NZL) Will Price
SPECIALFresh off a last-start win and boasting an excellent place percentage of 58%, this horse is in top form. The barrier 4 draw and Will Price in the saddle make him the clear top pick in this race.
Fashizlemanizle Brooke King (a-1.5) Shayne &
SPECIALWith only three career starts, a win and a 100% place rate, this horse has shown immense potential. Despite the limited experience, the form is strong enough to make him a serious threat to the favourite.
Jill On Ice Teagan Voorham
SPECIALA last-start winner with a good win percentage from limited starts, this horse has upside. The wider barrier is a slight concern, but her recent form suggests she's capable of another strong performance.
Littlebourkestreet
Coming off a solid x3 form, this horse shows good consistency in placing and has a decent win percentage for a Class 1. The inside barrier and Jason Holder are significant advantages, making him a strong contender.
Our Little Star Sairyn Fawke
Coming off a solid x3 form, this horse shows good consistency in placing and has a decent win percentage for a Class 1. The inside barrier and Jason Holder are significant advantages, making him a strong contender.
Pub Crawl (NZL) Tala Hutchinson
His last start win indicates he's found some form, and he has a reasonable place percentage. However, consistency has been an issue, and he'll need to replicate his best to be in the finish.
Tripod Terror Connor Murtagh
Despite a high career prizemoney and good place percentage, recent form is inconsistent and he's struggled to win. The inside barrier is a plus, but his win rate at 5% is a concern in this field.
Silver Lifestyle Lauren Stojakovic
While capable of a good run on her day, her recent form string is very patchy and her place percentage is low. She's inconsistent and might find this field too strong despite the good barrier.
Prince Kuro Ashvin Goindasamy
His recent form is very poor with no top-three finishes in his last ten starts. Despite having a win to his name, he looks completely out of form and is unlikely to trouble the main chances.
Lachlan Castle Shuichi Terachi
With a 5% win rate and only 5% place rate from 20 starts, this horse has shown very little. Recent form is abysmal, making him a rank outsider with no realistic chance.
Kool 'N' Classy Emily Finnegan
This horse has zero wins and zero places from five starts, with negligible prizemoney. There is nothing in its form to suggest it can compete at this level, making it the least likely to feature.
Oakbank Hotel Rating 0 - 56 Handicap
Another Bride Brooke King (a-1.5)
SPECIALThis lightly raced horse has excellent recent form including a win and a third, showing significant improvement. With a strong win and place percentage from limited starts, and a weight allowance, it's a top contender here.
Rich Lady
SPECIALThis mare boasts an impressive 52% place rate and has been very consistent recently with multiple placings, including a win. From a good barrier and with a top jockey aboard, she looks the most likely winner in this field.
Ruled By Thieves
SPECIALDespite a recent unplaced run, this horse showed a win and a third prior, indicating some ability in this class. The inside barrier and a capable jockey give it a strong chance, though consistency is a slight concern.
Shadowfax Isaac Sit
This horse has shown glimpses of form with two second-place finishes earlier in its string, indicating it can be competitive in this grade. The inside barrier is a plus, but its recent unplaced runs temper enthusiasm slightly.
Ze Birds'n'zebees Tala Hutchinson
Showed some promise earlier in its form string with two second-place finishes, suggesting it has the ability to place in this grade. However, recent unplaced runs and a wide barrier draw make it a speculative each-way chance.
Emmooki Magic Caitlin Tootell
Despite a last-start 9th, this horse showed a second-place finish two starts back, suggesting some residual ability. However, its overall win rate is low, and the wide barrier makes it a tough ask, limiting it to an outside place chance.
Sioux Warrior Ashvin Goindasamy
With a recent form string showing mostly unplaced efforts and a last start 0, this horse is struggling to find its best form. While it has three wins to its name, its current output suggests it will find this too tough.
Refreshing Alysha Warren
Despite having four career wins, recent form is very poor with multiple unplaced runs and a last start 0. Its win percentage is decent, but current performance suggests it's out of form and unlikely to feature.
Sundogg Rochelle Milnes
Recent form is very poor with a string of unplaced efforts and a last start 7th, indicating a significant drop in performance. While it has won three races, its current output makes it a rank outsider in this field.
Wadaana Teagan Voorham
This horse's form is consistently poor with a long string of unplaced efforts, including multiple 0s, indicating it is well out of form. A wide barrier draw further diminishes any slim chances it might have had.
Avanzo Taylor Johnstone
With a career place percentage of 19% and consistently poor recent form, this horse is struggling to compete at this level. The wide barrier and lack of recent competitive runs make it the least likely to feature.
Klose's Supermarkets Colts, Geldings & Entires Rating 0 - 56 Handicap
Navy Gold Rochelle Milnes
SPECIALNavy Gold boasts the highest Win% in the field and comes off a recent win two starts back, indicating good current form. With a favourable barrier 4 and a solid career record, this horse is well-placed to contend strongly here.
Sir Panama Tala Hutchinson
SPECIALSir Panama has been very consistent recently, with a win and two placings in his last four starts. Despite a slightly wider barrier, his strong current form and good career place percentage make him a genuine threat in this class.
Star Casino
SPECIALStar Casino showed good form earlier this preparation with two wins and a placing, indicating ability to perform at this level. While recent form is slightly down, a good barrier 6 and a capable trainer suggest he can bounce back.
Frankel Star Connor Murtagh
SPECIALStar Casino showed good form earlier this preparation with two wins and a placing, indicating ability to perform at this level. While recent form is slightly down, a good barrier 6 and a capable trainer suggest he can bounce back.
Flyway Dom Tourneur
Flyway has a high career earnings and place percentage, demonstrating consistent ability over a long career. His recent form includes a second and a third, suggesting he's nearing a win and benefits from an inside draw.
Mr Jones Brooke King (a-1.5)
Mr Jones has a win from four starts back and a recent third, showing glimpses of competitive form. The inside barrier 3 is a plus, but his overall win percentage is lower than some key rivals.
Territorian
Territorian has a decent place percentage and showed good form earlier this year with a win and two seconds. Although recent runs have been unplaced, a top jockey aboard gives him an each-way chance from a middle barrier.
Ekanite Todd Pannell
Ekanite won five starts ago and has a low barrier 1, which could be advantageous. However, his form has tapered off significantly since then, making him a speculative each-way chance if he can recapture his earlier spark.
Eight On The Dot (NZL) Caitlin Tootell
This horse has a long career with some wins and a high place percentage, but recent form is very inconsistent. A wide barrier and recent unplaced runs make him a long shot, despite his past ability.
Joseph's Glory Shuichi Terachi
Joseph's Glory has only had 8 starts with one win, but his recent form since that win has been poor. The wide barrier 10 and lack of recent competitive runs suggest he'll struggle in this field.
Hard Leaf Will Price
Hard Leaf has a low win percentage and inconsistent form, though he did place third three starts back. A wide barrier and overall lack of strong recent results make him a genuine outsider.
Lettemgo Wesley Cave
Lettemgo has a very low win percentage and has been largely uncompetitive in recent starts. The wide barrier 11 further diminishes his chances against this field.
Knight Dancer Ashvin Goindasamy
Knight Dancer has a very low win percentage and has shown little recent form to suggest he can win here. The wide barrier 14 adds another significant challenge.
Sacred Chord Sairyn Fawke
Sacred Chord has only one career win from 22 starts and has been consistently unplaced in recent outings. From barrier 15, he faces an uphill battle to be competitive.
Lake Agawam Emily Finnegan
Lake Agawam has a very poor recent form string and a low win percentage, having been unplaced in most of his recent starts. Starting from barrier 17, his chances are extremely slim.
Last War Stacey Metcalfe
Last War has the lowest win percentage in the field and has shown almost no competitive form recently. With a wide barrier 18, he is a clear rank outsider here.
