Burleigh

MEDIUM RISK

CAREER10:1-2

Jockey:Thomas Stockdale

Trainer:Ciaron Maher

Another Ciaron Maher runner, Burleigh has a slightly better place record than stablemate Brazenga but hasn't won in a while. The stable form is a big plus, and a middle barrier draw gives the jockey options. If he can recapture his best form, he's certainly capable of an each-way finish.

CAREER8:1-0

Jockey:John Allen

Trainer:Melody Cunningham

Rivazza has a good inside barrier and the services of John Allen, a top-tier jockey. While his career record is modest, the combination of a favorable draw and a strong rider could see him improve significantly. He's an interesting each-way prospect who could surprise.

MEDIUM RISK

CAREER3:1-0

Jockey:Caitlin Hollowood

Trainer:Trent Busuttin & Natalie Young

Beautifully has a decent win/place strike rate from limited starts, but the wide barrier is a significant hurdle. While the Busuttin & Young stable is strong, the draw makes it tough for a horse with only three career runs to find a good position. She'll need luck to overcome the gate.

CAREER19:2-3

Jockey:Rhys McLeod

Trainer:Thomas Sadler

More Torque has a lot of experience but a low win strike rate, suggesting he often finds one or two better. The inside barrier is a plus, but his overall form doesn't inspire high confidence for a win. He's more of a place chance if the pace is hot and he can run on.

Naval Force has a high number of career starts for limited wins and a very wide barrier to contend with. While the trainer is reputable, the horse's overall record and the difficult draw make this a tough assignment. He'd need a significant improvement to feature here.

Tipsy Gypsy has shown glimpses of ability but lacks consistency, and the overall win/place record is modest. While Brad Rawiller is a top jockey, he'll need to pull out all the stops to get this horse into contention from a middle draw. This looks like a tough ask.
