AI Selections & Analysis (8 runners)
Diante gets the coveted rail draw and has the benefit of a run under its belt. While unplaced on debut, the inside barrier over 1106m is a significant advantage for a young horse, and with natural improvement, it could be the one to beat.
Big Barry has shown some early speed in its two starts and draws well in barrier 5. With Sean Cormack, a jockey known for his ability with young horses, this runner could be ready to put it all together and break its maiden.
Boomious has had three starts and while unplaced, has accumulated the most prizemoney, suggesting some competitive runs. Barrier 4 is ideal, and with a slight edge in experience over many rivals, it's a solid each-way prospect.
From the same stable as Big Barry, Whip 'N Neighneigh draws well in barrier 3. With two starts under its belt, there's potential for improvement, and the inside draw could see it get a soft run and finish strongly.
Octopolis had a single start and finished well back, but comes from a reputable stable with Ryan Wiggins aboard. The wide barrier 7 is a challenge over 1106m, but if it shows natural improvement, it could surprise.
Long Tall James has had the most starts in the field (4) but has yet to show significant improvement. While experience is a factor, the lack of results suggests it needs to find another gear to be competitive here, especially from barrier 6.
Blessed Boom has had two starts with limited impact and draws the widest barrier in 8. This will make it tough to get across and find a position, requiring a significant lift to feature in the finish.
Scotch Rocket has had four starts without placing and has shown little to suggest a win is imminent. While barrier 2 is good, the overall form and lack of prizemoney make it difficult to recommend against this field.
