Jockey:William Stanley
Trainer:Kris Lees

From the astute Kris Lees stable and drawing barrier 2, this runner has a lot in her favor. Although unplaced in two starts, she's likely to have improved significantly and the stable often targets these maidens. Expect a strong showing with a good run from the inside.

Jockey:Keagan Latham
Trainer:Michael Freedman

Another debutant from a strong stable (Michael Freedman) with a top jockey (Keagan Latham). His recent trial was encouraging, suggesting he has some talent. The wide barrier is a challenge, but fresh horses can overcome it with a good run.

Jockey:Lee Magorrian
Trainer:Chris Waller

A Waller-trained debutant with a strong jockey, which always warrants respect. His recent trial suggests he's ready to run a forward race, and the stable often gets them ready to fire first-up. The wide barrier is a slight concern, but his potential is high.

Has placed once from four starts, showing some ability. The barrier is good, and Nathan Doyle's stable is in decent form. He's had enough starts to be seasoned, and could be ready to put in a strong performance here.

Six starts for no placings, which is a concern, but she does come from the Brad Widdup stable. The wide barrier is a disadvantage. She will need to improve sharply to be a factor, but the stable could have her ready for a better performance.

Two career starts for no placings, but the inside barrier is a significant advantage. Gary Portelli is a capable trainer, and Adkins is a solid jockey. Improvement is needed, but the draw gives him a chance to run into the money.

Only one career start, finishing unplaced. While he might have improved, there's little to suggest he's a winning chance here based on form. Trainer Matthew Smith has two runners, but this one seems to be the lesser chance.

Five starts for one placing, indicating limited winning potential so far. While the barrier is acceptable, she hasn't shown enough to suggest she can win a maiden of this calibre. Others have stronger claims.

Three starts for no placings and a very wide barrier (14) makes her task incredibly difficult. She would need a monumental improvement and a lot of luck to feature here. Likely an outsider.
