LOW RISK
CAREER11:3-1
Jockey:John Allen
Trainer:Shane Jackson

2
Buzzaroon
Barrier 2 · 62kg · Form: 241110x505
MEDIUM RISK
CAREER14:4-1
Jockey:Tom Madden
Trainer:Aaron Purcell

Buzzaroon has a very strong Win% of 29% and showed excellent form with three wins before a recent unplaced run. The inside barrier and stable confidence with multiple runners suggest a return to form, making it a strong contender despite the last start blip.

3
Silver Pledge (NZL)
Barrier 5 · 61.5kg · Form: 49441184x9
MEDIUM RISK
CAREER9:2-0
Jockey:Brad Rawiller
Trainer:Patrick & Michelle Payne

With two wins from nine starts, Silver Pledge has shown ability, including back-to-back wins earlier in its preparation. The last start ninth is a concern, but the trainer/jockey combination of Payne/Rawiller is formidable, and a good barrier 5 gives it an each-way chance.

4
Kingsford (NZL) Will Gordon
Barrier 7 · 60.5kg · Form: 4533x21516
MEDIUM RISK
CAREER10:2-2
Jockey:Matthew Williams

Kingsford has a solid Place% of 60% from limited starts and two wins, indicating talent. While the trainer is not listed, jockey Will Gordon is capable, and a recent win followed by a sixth suggests it's competitive, though the wide barrier 7 adds a slight challenge.

4
King Of Hearts Harry Grace
Barrier 12 · 54kg · Form: 4x59x899x9
MEDIUM RISK
CAREER43:3-4
Jockey:John Brooks

Kingsford has a solid Place% of 60% from limited starts and two wins, indicating talent. While the trainer is not listed, jockey Will Gordon is capable, and a recent win followed by a sixth suggests it's competitive, though the wide barrier 7 adds a slight challenge.

5
The Claimant
Barrier 8 · 58.5kg · Form: 35x9864532
MEDIUM RISK
CAREER37:3-2
Jockey:Melissa Julius
Trainer:Aaron Purcell

This horse has consistent recent placings, including a second last start, but a low career Win% of 8% from many starts. While it's an each-way chance given its consistency and a decent jockey, its ability to win is questionable against stronger opposition.

6
Wisaka
Barrier 3 · 62kg · Form: 5861805345
MEDIUM RISK
CAREER48:7-8
Jockey:Jack Hill
Trainer:Aaron Purcell

Wisaka has significant career earnings and a respectable Place% of 35%, but its recent form is inconsistent with many unplaced runs. While capable on its day, its overall form string suggests it's more of a place chance than a winning one in this field.

7
Cousins Day Linda Meech
Barrier 9 · 58kg · Form: 21x6030914
HIGH RISK
CAREER9:2-1
Jockey:Symon Wilde

Cousins Day shows flashes of ability with two wins from nine starts and a good Place% of 44%, including a recent win. However, its form is very patchy, and the wide barrier 9 makes it a roughie who would need luck to figure in the finish.

8
Vizie Neil Farley
Barrier 10 · 57.5kg · Form: x140359527
HIGH RISK
CAREER27:3-4
Jockey:Chris Calthorpe

Vizie has a low Win% of 11% and inconsistent form, though it did manage a second place two starts back. The wide barrier 10 and overall record suggest it's a roughie at best, needing significant improvement to challenge.

10
Stay In Your Lane Tayla Childs
Barrier 13 · 54kg · Form: 9x90755005
HIGH RISK
CAREER34:2-4
Jockey:Racheal Monaghan

This horse has the lowest Win% in the field at 6% from 34 starts and consistently poor recent form, including many unplaced runs. Combined with the widest barrier 13, it is highly unlikely to feature in the finish.
