Oyster Lane
SPECIALBoasts the highest prizemoney and a strong place percentage, consistently running well in maidens including two 2nds and a 3rd. Trainer Ciaron Maher and jockey Ben Allen provide a significant advantage, making it a strong chance despite a wide barrier.
Genomic
SPECIALShowed improvement with a 3rd last start and has a top jockey in Patrick Moloney aboard. The trainer Robbie Griffiths is capable, suggesting this horse is ready to break through at its third career start.
Silver Lightning Molly Bourke
Improved significantly last start with a 3rd, suggesting it's finding its form. With only three starts, there's scope for further improvement, but consistency is still a question mark.
King Kalakaua
Comes from a top stable (Ciaron Maher) and has a good jockey (Declan Bates), but only a 5th on debut leaves questions. Needs to show significant improvement to be competitive here, especially from a wide gate.
Stormyfriendship Dylan Dunn
Has raced 18 times without a win, indicating a lack of winning desire or ability. While it has placed twice, recent form is inconsistent and suggests it's unlikely to break its maiden here.
Sundance Cowboy Cian MacRedmond
Recent form is poor, and its only place was a 2nd several starts ago. With a low place percentage and no recent encouraging signs, it's hard to make a case for this horse.
Cup Day Baby Neil
This horse is on debut with no prior form or trials listed, making it a complete unknown against horses with race experience. It's a very difficult task to win first-up in a maiden without any lead-up form.
Hertz BM66 Handicap
Blaze Away
SPECIALBlaze Away is a lightly raced horse with an outstanding 50% win rate and 75% place rate, including two recent wins. Jye McNeil in the saddle from a favourable barrier suggests this horse is a prime candidate for victory.
El Pibe De Oro
SPECIALWith an impressive 33% win rate and 67% place rate from limited starts, this horse shows significant upside and recent wins. The good barrier and high-quality jockey Nick Ryan make it a top pick in this field.

Endless Forevers
SPECIALThis lightly raced horse shows immense potential with two wins from three starts, boasting a 67% win rate. Despite being unplaced once, its overall form and the trainers' reputation make it a strong contender for the win.
Yes We Are
This horse has an excellent place percentage of 83% from only six starts, including two wins, showing great potential. The inside barrier and Brad Rawiller are significant positives, making it a strong each-way chance.
Aqueduct Olivia East Tony &
This horse boasts strong recent form with three wins earlier in its last preparation and a recent win. The inside barrier and good win percentage make it a strong contender, but the unplaced runs before the last win suggest some inconsistency.
Mrs Iglesia
Despite a slightly wider barrier, Mrs Iglesia has shown good form with two wins and a 50% place rate from eight starts, and has significant prizemoney. Damian Lane is a top jockey who can overcome the draw, making it an each-way prospect.
Commands Success Holly Durnan
Commands Success is a consistent performer with a high place percentage and significant career earnings, indicating class. However, its win rate is lower than some rivals, and recent form shows more placings than wins.
Petit Artiste
This horse has only one win from ten starts and its recent form is inconsistent, with several unplaced efforts. The wide barrier and low win percentage make it a rank outsider in this competitive field.
James Vac Solutions BM66 Handicap
Both Sides Now
SPECIALBoth Sides Now is in scintillating form with two consecutive wins and a strong career Win% and Place%. From an ideal barrier and with a good jockey, he looks the horse to beat in this field.
Desert Anthem Cian MacRedmond
SPECIALDesert Anthem boasts an excellent recent form string with multiple placings and a win, indicating strong current fitness. With a high Place% and an inside barrier, this horse is a genuine contender for the win.
Le Troisir (NZL)
SPECIALCrocodile has a good Win% from limited starts and has shown flashes of brilliance with two wins recently. However, his unplaced runs indicate some inconsistency, and this is a step up in class from his last win.
Crocodile
SPECIALCrocodile has a good Win% from limited starts and has shown flashes of brilliance with two wins recently. However, his unplaced runs indicate some inconsistency, and this is a step up in class from his last win.
Sotomayor
Sotomayor has a solid career Win% and showed good form with back-to-back wins before a last-start sixth. With Brad Rawiller aboard and from a middle barrier, he has the class to be competitive if he can bounce back.
Rapid Cheval (NZL)
Rapid Cheval has shown ability with a win and some placings earlier in its preparation, but recent form has been disappointing. With a very wide barrier and needing to recapture earlier form, this horse is an each-way chance if everything goes right.
Yauson Jett Stanley Gai Waterhouse &
Yauson has a high Win% from only two starts, including a recent win, which suggests potential. However, this is a significant jump in class and distance, making it a question mark despite the strong stable.
Cachink Dean Yendall
Cachink has some minor placings in his recent form but lacks a winning strike rate and his last start was poor. While he has a decent career Place%, he needs to find significant improvement to win this.
Bold Strike Thomas Stockdale
Bold Strike has a very low career Win% but a respectable Place%, indicating he can run on for a minor share. His recent form shows some placings but he struggles to convert them into wins, making him an each-way hope at best.
Warchime Daniel Stackhouse
Warchime's form is highly inconsistent, mixing a win with several unplaced efforts, and his overall Win% is average. With a wide barrier and no listed trainer, he faces a tough challenge against in-form rivals.
Crack A Deel
Crack A Deel's form is inconsistent, with a win sandwiched between several unplaced efforts. With a wide barrier and a low Win% from limited starts, this horse looks to be up against it in this field.
Reddivo (NZL) Teo Nugent
Reddivo's recent form is very poor, consistently finishing unplaced with a low career Win%. Despite a high number of starts, this horse appears to be struggling for form and is unlikely to be competitive.
Lauding (NZL)
Lauding's recent form is very poor, showing multiple unplaced runs and a last-start 0. Despite a top trainer, his current string indicates he is well out of form and unlikely to feature here.
Manhari Up and Comers

AC Accounting Country Oaks
Strictly Business
SPECIALThis horse boasts an impressive win rate and place rate from limited starts, showing significant upside and class. The recent form includes two wins and a second, indicating it's in peak condition and ready for this distance, with a top jockey aboard from a good barrier.
Suntora
SPECIALSuntora is in excellent form with multiple recent wins and placings, demonstrating consistency and ability to finish strongly. While not as high a win percentage as the top pick, its recent string of results and good barrier make it a strong contender here.
Too Darn Discreet
SPECIALWith a solid career win percentage and two recent wins, Too Darn Discreet has proven ability, but the last start was unplaced. The inside barrier and experienced jockey are positives, making it a genuine chance if it can recapture its winning form.
Broadhurst
Broadhurst comes into this race with two recent wins, showing improved form, but its overall career win percentage is modest. The wide barrier and step up in class are concerns, but the recent victories suggest it's capable of an each-way finish.
Enchanted Elle (NZL) Linda Meech
Despite a last-start unplaced effort, Enchanted Elle has a strong career record with 10 wins and has shown good form prior to that. This horse is very experienced and can bounce back, making it an each-way possibility at value.
Missy Aggravation
Missy Aggravation has limited starts but showed some promise with a win and two thirds recently before a last-start unplaced run. This is a significant step up in class and distance, making it a roughie with potential if it handles the challenge.
Into You Neil Farley
Into You has a low career win percentage and inconsistent form, though it has placed recently. The jump to this class and distance, coupled with a wide barrier, makes it a long shot, but it could surprise if everything falls into place.
Jennilala Thomas Stockdale
Jennilala's recent form is very poor, with multiple unplaced runs and no wins in a long time, despite high career earnings. While it has a good barrier, its current performance does not suggest it can compete effectively in this field.
Tooheys Form-Crete Country Discovery
Oak Hill (NZL)
SPECIALWith an impressive 40% win rate and 60% place rate, coupled with recent form including a win and a second, Oak Hill is a top pick. The inside barrier and Damian Lane aboard further enhance his winning chances in this field.
Spywire
SPECIALSpywire boasts the highest prizemoney and recent form includes multiple wins and placings, despite a last-start seventh. With a good barrier and a top trainer, he's a strong contender poised to bounce back.
Verdoux
SPECIALVerdoux has an outstanding 91% place rate and recent form includes two wins and three seconds, indicating consistent top-tier performance. Despite a slightly wider barrier, her consistency and high place percentage make her a very strong each-way contender.
Geegees Mistruth
This horse has a strong win and place percentage, including two wins and two seconds in recent starts before a fall and an unplaced run. If she can recapture her best form, she's a definite threat, but the recent form is a slight concern.
Mornington Glory
Despite a last-start unplaced run, his form includes three wins and a third before that, indicating he's capable. The inside barrier and strong win/place percentages make him a genuine contender, though his recent unplaced runs add a slight question mark.
She's Bulletproof
Her recent second-place finish is encouraging, and her high 74% place rate shows consistency. However, her win rate is lower, suggesting she's more likely to place than win outright, making her a strong each-way bet.
Recommendation Thomas Stockdale
His career stats are solid with a 30% win rate, but recent form is inconsistent, featuring mostly unplaced runs with a second and a third mixed in. While he has the class, current form suggests he's more of an each-way chance.
Port Albert
Coming off two recent wins, Port Albert shows he's in good form, but his overall career win percentage is low, and he's stepping up in class. The wide barrier draw makes it harder for him to maintain his winning streak.
Press Down
His recent third is a positive, but it's an isolated good run amidst mostly unplaced efforts. With a wide barrier and inconsistent form, he's a roughie who would need significant improvement to challenge.
Coleman
Coleman's recent form is very poor, with numerous unplaced runs and a low win percentage. While he has earned significant prizemoney, his current performance suggests he is struggling to find his best form.
Philosopher
Philosopher's form is highly inconsistent, with a recent win followed by a fifth, but many unplaced runs prior. The wide barrier and moderate career statistics make him a long shot in this competitive field.
Johnny Rocker Jett Stanley
Johnny Rocker's form string is consistently poor, with many unplaced runs and a low career win rate. Given the strong competition, he appears to be a rank outsider with little chance of figuring in the finish.
Perilous Fighter
Despite a couple of wins earlier in his form, his recent performances are mostly unplaced, and his career win rate is very low. From a wide barrier, he faces a significant challenge against this caliber of opposition.
