Caffe Florian has an impressive 60% win rate from only 5 starts, indicating significant upside. Despite a wide barrier 9, the sharp improvement and strong recent wins make him a genuine threat.

Skyhook has shown good form with a recent win and placings, backed by a high Place% and significant prizemoney. Barrier 2 and Tim Clark are positives, but consistency can be a slight concern at this level.
Regal Award has consistent form, including two wins and a second in recent starts, showing good ability. While the barrier 10 is a slight challenge, the horse's competitive nature gives it a strong each-way appeal.
