LOW RISK
CAREER21:6-8

Osipenko (NZL)
Barrier 3 · 57.5kg · Form: 275x430174
MEDIUM RISK
CAREER36:5-3
Jockey:Jye McNeil
Trainer:Chris Waller

A Group 1 winner with substantial prizemoney, indicating high class. His recent form includes a win and a third, and from barrier 3 with Jye McNeil, he has a strong chance to bounce back to peak performance.

7
Cafe Millenium
Barrier 2 · 58kg · Form: 951126x415
MEDIUM RISK
CAREER28:5-1
Jockey:Celine Gaudray
Trainer:Ben, Will & Jd Hayes

Showed good form with two wins and a second before a last start fifth, suggesting he's competitive at this level. Barrier 2 is advantageous, and a top stable backs him, but his place percentage is a concern.

8
Bossy Benita
Barrier 11 · 54kg · Form: 6x1210x314
MEDIUM RISK
CAREER15:5-2
Jockey:Patrick Moloney
Trainer:Michael Mehegan

Shows good recent form with two wins and a second in her last five starts, coupled with strong win and place percentages. The wide barrier (11) is a challenge, but her current form cannot be ignored.

9
Oh Too Good
Barrier 8 · 54kg · Form: 18x27140x4
MEDIUM RISK
CAREER18:6-4
Jockey:Declan Bates
Trainer:Kevin Daffy

Impressive win and place percentages with a recent win and fourth, indicating good current form. Barrier 8 is not ideal but with Declan Bates aboard, he could still feature prominently.

10
Wrote To Arataki (NZL) Dean Yendall
Barrier 7 · 54kg · Form: 3132x60x13
MEDIUM RISK
CAREER29:7-3
Jockey:Matthew Williams

Has a decent win and place percentage with some good recent efforts including a win and two thirds. However, barrier 7 is slightly tricky, and the field is quite strong, placing her as an each-way chance.

11
Hughes Jett Stanley
Barrier 10 · 54kg · Form: 116x506271
MEDIUM RISK
CAREER24:8-3
Jockey:Gavin Bedggood

Comes off a last-start win and has a high win percentage, showing he knows how to find the line. However, barrier 10 makes it tougher, and this is a step up in competition.

12
Athanatos
Barrier 15 · 54kg · Form: 21x36346x3
MEDIUM RISK
CAREER20:3-7
Jockey:Lachlan Neindorf
Trainer:Phillip Stokes

Boasts a very high place percentage but a lower win percentage, suggesting he's often around the mark but struggles to win. Barrier 15 makes it very tough to convert a good run into a victory.

13
Von Hauke (NZL)
Barrier 4 · 57.5kg · Form: x504x07316
HIGH RISK
CAREER25:4-4
Jockey:Jamie Mott
Trainer:Cliff Brown

Inconsistent form with a recent win followed by a sixth, and a lower win percentage than some rivals. While the barrier is good, his overall record doesn't suggest a strong winning chance in this competitive field.

14
El Rocko
Barrier 9 · 54kg · Form: 11263104x8
HIGH RISK
CAREER60:9-8
Jockey:John McArdle

Despite a high number of career starts, his win percentage is moderate, and recent form is inconsistent with an eighth last start. The wide barrier (9) further diminishes his prospects against stronger contenders.

15
Rumbled Again Jackie Beriman
Barrier 14 · 54kg · Form: 9346088124
HIGH RISK
CAREER49:8-5
Jockey:Michael Trotter

Inconsistent recent form with a win and a second, but also several unplaced runs. The wide barrier (14) and moderate career stats make him a long shot here.

16
Coastwatch
Barrier 13 · 54kg · Form: 14800x8800
HIGH RISK
CAREER37:5-4
Jockey:Luke Cartwright
Trainer:Reece Goodwin

His recent form is very poor with multiple unplaced runs and a low win percentage. Coupled with the widest barrier (13), he faces an extremely difficult task in this competitive race.

17

Barrier 17 · 54kg · Form: 29x485x467
HIGH RISK
CAREER28:5-5
Jockey:Danny O'brien
