OWNERS PAVILION @ JEWEL BENCHMARK 60 Handicap
AI Selections & Analysis (12 runners)
Will It Snow is in superb form, with two wins and a second from his last three starts, demonstrating a strong liking for staying trips. Barrier 3 is ideal, and his consistent recent performances make him the clear top pick in this field.
Hurricane Rosie is coming off a second-place finish and has a win over a similar distance earlier in the preparation. She's proven at the trip and carries a light weight, making her a serious threat to the favourite, especially with a good jockey engagement.
Vermilion Kirin has shown glimpses of good form, including a win a few starts back and a last-start third. The 2450m distance should suit, and with a good barrier, she's a strong contender who could be right in the finish if she brings her best.
Giddy Gan's Joy has been consistent with two consecutive third-place finishes, indicating good current form. While her win strike rate isn't high, she's proven to be competitive and could sneak into the placings again at this distance.
Autunno has a decent career record but his recent form has dipped, culminating in a seventh last start. He's capable on his day and has placed over staying trips, but needs to recapture his earlier consistency to be a winning chance.
Likeabeel is a seasoned campaigner with plenty of prizemoney, but his recent form has been inconsistent, with a last-start unplaced effort. While he has a good career record over staying distances, he'll need to lift significantly to challenge the in-form runners.
Justice Served returns from a spell with a mixed form line, and while capable on his day, his recent runs before the break weren't inspiring enough to suggest a strong winning chance here. The long distance first-up is a concern, and he may need this run.
Revelaide's form has been patchy, with a last-start unplaced effort after a win three starts back. The inconsistency makes her a risky proposition, and she'll need to find her best form to be competitive against stronger rivals here.
Papal Miss has struggled for form recently, failing to make an impact in her last few starts. Her win percentage is low, and despite her experience, she looks outclassed in this field over the demanding 2450m journey.
Alaska De Lune has only one career win from 23 starts and her recent form is not inspiring. While she ran fourth last start, she will need to improve significantly to be a factor in this race, especially over this distance.
Maurita's form has been poor, with recent runs well down the track. She has a low win percentage and struggles to find consistency, making her an outsider with little appeal in this competitive handicap.
Royal Charge is a veteran with a high number of starts, but his recent form is very poor, consistently finishing towards the rear of the field. It's hard to see him turning that form around and being competitive here.
