GREAT NORTHERN BENCHMARK 65 HANDICAP ($19K)

This horse boasts a strong 17% win rate from fewer starts and draws a favourable barrier (2). With a capable trainer and jockey, this profile suggests a genuine contender if the 'N/A' form string is due to a short break rather than a serious issue.

A solid 17% win rate from limited starts and a favourable barrier (6) position Shirley Pearly as a strong contender. Boris Thornton is a capable jockey, adding to its appeal for a good run.

Kiroro Peak has an impressive 20% win rate from only 10 starts, indicating potential for further improvement. However, barrier 13 is a concern over this distance, making it a strong contender with some risk.

Hurricane Rosie draws an excellent barrier (3) and has a reasonable place rate (29%). While the win rate is modest, the inside draw and Angela Jones give it a genuine each-way chance.

With the highest career earnings and 11 wins from 92 starts, Likeabeel is a seasoned campaigner and draws well in barrier 5. The high number of starts and age might limit its winning upside, but it's a definite each-way chance.

A good barrier (4) and the booking of Cejay Graham are positives for Amalgamation. While the win rate is low (11%), the inside draw could see it run into the placings.

A 33% place rate is encouraging, but the 13% win rate and barrier 11 suggest it might struggle for the win. Damien Thornton is a good jockey, which helps its each-way chances.

Stoicism has a decent place rate (33%) but a low win rate, and barrier 17 is a significant hurdle. Ben Thompson is a good jockey, which might help, but it's an each-way at best.

A low win rate (8%) and a wide barrier (15) make Sacred Bull a challenging prospect. While it has some place history, it's hard to see it contending for the win in this field.

Tavis Town has a solid career win percentage (17%) and decent prizemoney but faces a wide barrier (12). The lack of recent form (N/A) makes it difficult to assess current fitness, placing it as a roughie.

Despite good career earnings, a wide barrier (16) and a lower win rate for a horse with 42 starts makes this a tough ask. The 'N/A' form string suggests a significant break or unknown recent performance, adding to the risk.

Sir Beveridge has a respectable win rate but a zero place rate and a very wide barrier (20) are significant negatives. The lack of a named jockey further diminishes confidence, making it a roughie.

A low win rate (13%) and modest place rate (21%) suggest Casanova Man will find this tough. Barrier 9 is neutral, but overall form doesn't inspire high confidence.

With a low win rate (11%) from 46 starts and a very wide barrier (18), Giddy Gan's Joy faces a tough assignment. It's hard to see this horse featuring prominently.

With only 1 win from 22 starts and a very low win and place rate, Proclaimer is firmly in the rank outsider category. There's little to suggest it can feature in this field.

Classique Gal has a very low win rate (5%) from 55 starts and the lack of a named jockey indicates it's likely an emergency or a very long shot. This horse is a rank outsider.
