LOW RISK
CAREER12:4-4
Jockey:Ben Thompson
Trainer:Mark Currie

Outstanding recent form with back-to-back wins and an impressive 92% place rate from limited starts. Despite a wider barrier, its high win percentage and consistent performance make it the horse to beat.

2
Castillian (NZL) Angela Jones
Barrier 1 · 60kg · Form: 421123x861
LOW RISK
CAREER37:6-7
Jockey:Tony Gollan

Boasts excellent recent form including a last start win, high career earnings, and a favourable inside barrier. The Gollan/Jones combination is formidable, making this horse a top contender despite the slight class rise.

3
Great Aspirations (NZL) Cejay Graham
Barrier 7 · 54kg · Form: 27x7013521
MEDIUM RISK
CAREER23:5-6
Jockey:Tony Gollan

Comes off a last-start win and has a good place percentage, showing strong recent form. The wide barrier 7 is a slight concern, but the Gollan stable often overcomes such challenges.

4
Ser Joh Jasper Franklin
Barrier 4 · 58.5kg · Form: x751028235
MEDIUM RISK
CAREER23:5-5
Jockey:Robert Heathcote

Consistent performer with a good place percentage and recent form showing competitive runs including a win. Barrier 4 is ideal, and with Robert Heathcote training, this horse is a strong each-way prospect.

5
Sultry Siren
Barrier 8 · 54kg · Form: 1324x45435
MEDIUM RISK
CAREER26:4-6
Jockey:Jake Bayliss
Trainer:Robert Heathcote

Consistent placegetter with a good place percentage, but recent form shows it struggles to win. Barrier 8 is a slight disadvantage, but it could sneak into the placings with a good run.

6
Mississippi Prince Sean Cormack
Barrier 3 · 59.5kg · Form: 09262049x8
MEDIUM RISK
CAREER37:8-4
Jockey:Brent Gray

Has a solid win percentage and good career earnings, indicating class, but recent form is inconsistent with many unplaced runs. Barrier 3 is a plus, offering an each-way chance if he can find his best form.

7
Phenom
Barrier 10 · 53.5kg · Form: x01330x866
HIGH RISK
CAREER13:3-0
Jockey:Damien Thornton
Trainer:Todd Pollard

Inconsistent recent form with some good placings but also unplaced runs, and has a wide barrier to contend with. Its career place percentage is good, but current form suggests it's more of a long shot.

8
Zondee
Barrier 5 · 58.5kg · Form: 0x89597x53
HIGH RISK
CAREER25:4-3
Jockey:Michael Rodd
Trainer:Robert Heathcote

Recent form is poor with mostly unplaced runs, and while having decent career earnings, its win percentage is low. A third last start is an improvement, but it needs to find significant improvement to challenge.

9
Geriatrix
Barrier 2 · 60kg · Form: 68x50007x8
HIGH RISK
CAREER22:4-2
Jockey:Kyle Wilson-taylor
Trainer:Chris Waller

Recent form is very poor, showing no competitive runs in its last several starts. While from a top stable, its current performance suggests it's well out of contention here.
