AI Selections & Analysis (6 runners)
Coming off a strong second-up run, this horse has a solid career record and a good barrier draw. With Jay Ford aboard for Gerald Ryan & Sterling Alexiou, it looks well-placed to contend strongly in this class.
This lightly raced gelding boasts an impressive place percentage and won third-up last preparation. From barrier 3, he rates as a genuine threat with natural improvement, despite stepping up slightly in class.
Smart Cry has two wins from seven starts, including a recent one, showing good potential. However, the consistency is a slight concern, and this is a competitive field for an each-way chance.
Despite a low win percentage, Chilly Charlie often finds a place and has been consistent in recent runs. With Alysha Collett taking the ride, he could be a roughie to sneak into the placings if the pace is right.
Lang Park recently broke a long drought with a win, which is a positive, but his overall form string is inconsistent. While he has significant prizemoney, his win rate suggests he'll find this tough.
With a very low win percentage and poor recent form, More Voltage appears outclassed in this field. The wide barrier and lack of recent competitive runs make it a rank outsider.
