MERCEDES-BENZ BRISBANE BENCHMARK 85 Handicap
AI Selections & Analysis (6 runners)
This horse boasts an impressive 31% win rate and 50% place rate from only 16 starts, indicating genuine class. Recent form includes a win and a second, and with a good barrier and top trainer/jockey combination, it's the clear top pick despite stepping up slightly in class.
Moonhaven comes into this race in excellent form, having won its last two starts, showcasing strong recent improvement. While the overall career place percentage is lower, the current form and a reasonable barrier make it a strong contender for a place or even a win.
Brereton has been consistent with recent placings (2nd, 3rd) in competitive fields, suggesting it's knocking on the door for a win. The good barrier and association with Tony Gollan add to its appeal as a solid each-way chance, though its win rate is low.
Bews has been performing creditably with a recent 2nd and 5th against similar company, demonstrating it can be competitive. The wide barrier is a concern, but its consistent place record at this distance makes it a viable each-way proposition if it gets luck in running.
Despite a good barrier, He's Heaven's recent form is very poor with a string of unplaced runs and a last-start 9th. While it has won 7 races, its current lack of form and declining performance suggest it will struggle against this field.
Millane Jasper Franklin's form string is concerning, showing no recent signs of competitive racing with multiple unplaced efforts. While it has significant career earnings, its current performance indicates it is well past its best and has very little chance here.
