Barrier 6 · 58kg · Form: 444163x114
MEDIUM RISK
CAREER24:4-1
Jockey:James Moore

Despite a lower place percentage, his recent form includes two wins and a fourth, showing good current ability. A favourable barrier and proven ability at this level make him a strong each-way prospect.

Airswing
Barrier 3 · 58.5kg · Form: 2760x82214
MEDIUM RISK
CAREER14:3-3
Jockey:Damien Boche
Trainer:Steven Hardy

Showed good form with a win and two seconds recently, indicating he's racing well. The inside barrier is a plus, but the last start fourth suggests he might need a slight improvement to win this.

4
Possibilities
Barrier 14 · 56kg · Form: 24x2413233
MEDIUM RISK
CAREER15:1-6
Jockey:Kyle Wilson-taylor
Trainer:Chris Waller

While only a single career win, his exceptional place percentage (73%) highlights his consistency to finish in the money. The wide barrier is a concern, but his ability to run on makes him an each-way threat.

5
Denetta
Barrier 13 · 56kg · Form: 682636x761
MEDIUM RISK
CAREER34:4-4
Jockey:Fred Larson
Trainer:Stephanie Sixtus

Has the highest career earnings and recent form includes a win, suggesting she's found her stride. However, the widest barrier draw is a significant hurdle to overcome against this field.

6
Kurithea
Barrier 15 · 55.5kg · Form: 3525x2173
MEDIUM RISK
CAREER8:1-2
Jockey:Ben Thompson
Trainer:Annabel & Rob Archibald

Has a strong place percentage (63%) from limited starts and a recent second, indicating potential. The wide barrier and step up in class are challenges, but he's progressive.

7
Cantarito Angela Jones
Barrier 11 · 57kg · Form: 155x736342
MEDIUM RISK
CAREER13:1-2
Jockey:Chris Waller

Recent second place finish shows he's capable, and Angela Jones is a good booking. However, his overall win percentage is low and the wide draw makes it tougher.

8
Use Your Illusion M Harley
Barrier 2 · 59kg · Form: x6317322x6
MEDIUM RISK
CAREER14:1-3
Jockey:Tony Gollan

Has some reasonable placings in his form string but lacks a strong winning strike rate. The inside barrier is a positive, but he'll need to lift to contend for the win.

HIGH RISK
CAREER23:4-0
Jockey:Danny Peisley
Trainer:Bob Mahon

Recent form is inconsistent with a last start sixth and a wide barrier. While capable on his day, he appears to be facing a tougher task here.

Barrier 12 · 57kg · Form: 41x5744627
HIGH RISK
CAREER18:2-3
Jockey:Michael Morrison

Recent form is moderate with a last start seventh and a very wide barrier. Needs to show significant improvement to be competitive in this field.

Pele Princess Stacey Callow
Barrier 10 · 57.5kg · Form: 03x2541400
HIGH RISK
CAREER24:3-1
Jockey:Brett Baker

Recent form is poor with two consecutive zeros, and the wide barrier draw makes her task even harder. She would need a dramatic turnaround to feature.

12
Power Pack Georgina Cartwright
Barrier 5 · 58.5kg · Form: 30x9678825
HIGH RISK
CAREER26:4-3
Jockey:Kevin Kemp

Recent form is poor with a last start fifth following several unplaced runs, and his win percentage is only average. He's unlikely to be a factor from a moderate barrier.

Barrier 7 · 58kg · Form: 344x717695
HIGH RISK
CAREER48:5-3
Jockey:Jimmy Downes

Has a very high number of career starts with a low win and place percentage, indicating he's not a strong winning prospect. Recent form is also uninspiring.

HIGH RISK
CAREER28:2-1
Jockey:Wayne O'connell
