Majorian is in excellent form, having won two of his last four starts and placing second in another. He's a consistent performer at this level, handles the distance well, and with Tom Sherry aboard, he's a strong contender for the quinella.
Spanish Blaze has a respectable win percentage and showed a good win last prep. His last start fifth was fair, and from barrier 3 with Nash Rawiller, he could improve significantly, but is still first-up over 1600m which is a query.
Mirzann is a Chris Waller-trained runner who showed a slight improvement last start with a fifth. He's still finding his feet in Australia, and with Tommy Berry, he could be an improver, but needs to step up considerably to win.
Unique Ambition's form has been patchy, though his last start seventh was an improvement. He's capable on his day, but needs to find his best to challenge the top contenders. Dylan Gibbons is a positive, but his overall consistency is a concern.
Bianco Vilano's recent form is concerning, with a string of unplaced efforts. While he has a good barrier, his current performance suggests he'll struggle to compete against horses in better form, making him an outsider here.
Fiddlers Green has been out of the placings in most recent runs, despite a second four starts back. His form is not inspiring for a win, and from barrier 9, he'll need a significant turnaround to feature.
Fioprospero has a long career with a low win percentage and his recent form is poor, finishing ninth last start. He's unlikely to be competitive against this field, especially from a wide barrier.
Belleistic Kids is a veteran with many starts, but his recent form is well below par for a win. He's consistently finishing unplaced and is unlikely to trouble the better-performed horses in this race.
