AI Selections & Analysis (7 runners)
This horse boasts the highest prizemoney and an excellent place percentage, indicating consistent high-level performance. The inside barrier and top jockey Luke Currie further enhance its winning prospects, making it a strong favourite in this field despite recent unplaced runs at higher levels.
With an impressive recent form string including multiple wins and placings, Thunder Shoc is in peak condition and has a high win percentage. While the wide barrier is a slight concern, its consistent performance and high place percentage make it a genuine contender.
Shadhavar has a strong win and place percentage from fewer starts, suggesting untapped potential and good recent form culminating in a win. Although the wide barrier is a challenge, its upward trajectory and good strike rate position it as a strong each-way chance.
Dirty Grin has solid career stats with a good win and place percentage, and its recent form includes two wins from its last four starts. The barrier draw is favourable, and with a top trainer, it should be competitive, though others have slightly stronger recent form.
Power shows a decent win percentage and has demonstrated ability with recent wins, but its form can be a bit inconsistent. The good barrier draw is a plus, making it a viable each-way prospect if it brings its best on the day.
Despite a high career win percentage, Chicago Storm's recent form is patchy, including a last-place finish. While the inside barrier is advantageous, the inconsistency and recent unplaced efforts suggest it will need to improve significantly to challenge the top contenders.
Mt Niseko's recent form is concerning, with a last-place finish and generally inconsistent performances. While it has some wins in its career, the wide barrier and lack of recent strong showings make it a rank outsider in this competitive field.
