LOW RISK
CAREER2:0-1
Jockey:Thomas Stockdale
Trainer:Jerome Hunter

Brightly Dance has placed in one of her two starts, showing immediate ability. The inside barrier is a major plus, and from a solid stable, she looks to be one of the key contenders with scope for further improvement.

Barrier 1 · 127kg · Form:
MEDIUM RISK
CAREER4:0-1
Jockey:Jordan Childs
Trainer:Grahame Begg

Avenue Montaigne has shown some promise with a placing from four starts and comes from a strong stable. The inside barrier is a significant advantage, and with natural improvement, she could be a strong each-way chance in this field.

Top Liner
Barrier 9 · 127kg · Form:
MEDIUM RISK
CAREER0:0-0
Jockey:Jake Noonan
Trainer:Alexander Rae

As a first-starter, Top Liner is an unknown quantity. While the trainer can produce winners, without any trial form or race experience, it's difficult to assess her chances against horses with race experience, making her a speculative play.

Bon Aurelia
Barrier 4 · 128kg · Form:
MEDIUM RISK
CAREER7:0-1
Jockey:Logan Mcneil
Trainer:Lisa Jones

With seven starts and only one placing, Bon Aurelia has had ample opportunities but hasn't delivered. The barrier is fair, but she'll need to show significant improvement to be a winning chance against this field.

Kaddari
Barrier 6 · 128kg · Form:
HIGH RISK
CAREER21:0-4
Jockey:Luke Cartwright
Trainer:Belinda Dunn

With 21 starts and no wins, Kaddari is a perennial maiden. While he has placed four times, his inability to break through suggests he's likely to find a few better again, despite a reasonable barrier.

CAREER3:0-0
Jockey:Jackie Beriman
Trainer:Brian Mcgrath

This filly has shown very little in three starts, with no placings. While the barrier is decent, there's nothing in her form to suggest she's ready to win this maiden, making her a roughie at best.

Lady San Chez
Barrier 5 · 128kg · Form:
HIGH RISK
CAREER20:0-1
Jockey:Valentin Le Boeuf
Trainer:Ernie Francese

Lady San Chez has had 20 starts for only one placing, which is a significant red flag in a maiden. This suggests she lacks the necessary ability to win, and it's hard to see her improving enough to contend here.

Barrier 10 · 128kg · Form:
HIGH RISK
CAREER6:0-0
Trainer:Ricardo Meunier

Six starts for no placings is a major concern, and the wide barrier of 10 further complicates matters. Without a jockey named, it's hard to have any confidence in this runner, making them a definite outsider.

Jupiter's Girl
Barrier 7 · 128kg · Form:
HIGH RISK
CAREER2:0-0
Jockey:Emily Pozman
Trainer:Nick Harnett

Two starts for no placings means Jupiter's Girl is still very green and unproven. While improvement is possible, there's nothing on paper to suggest she'll be competitive here, making her a speculative choice.

Jockey:Ben Kennedy

With two starts for no placings and very limited prizemoney, Flying Riches is a significant outsider. The wide barrier draw further diminishes any chances, suggesting this horse is likely to struggle.
