This horse is undefeated with 3 wins from 3 starts, showing immense potential and a perfect win record. While stepping up in class and with a wide barrier, its raw talent and Ciaron Maher's training make it a serious threat.
Bacash has consistent form with 3 wins and 3 places from 11 starts, and a solid 73% place rate. The last start was unplaced, but prior form was strong, and William Pike from barrier 4 gives it a genuine each-way chance.
With two recent wins in a row before an unplaced run, Snow Mercy shows good ability and a decent 33% win rate. The wide barrier 7 is a slight concern, but Phillip Stokes' training and a 67% place rate keep it in contention for a minor placing.
