MEDIUM RISK

CAREER51:10-2

Jockey:Aidan Holt

Trainer:Ricky Vale

Master Montaro is a class animal with significant prizemoney and a strong career record, despite his lower win percentage. If he brings his A-game, he has the raw ability to dominate this field, but his overall consistency can be a slight question mark compared to the top pick.

MEDIUM RISK

CAREER23:9-5

Jockey:Ashley Butler

Trainer:Lyle Wright

Obligated has a very respectable win and place record, suggesting he's a consistent performer in his grade. While not as flashy as the top two, his ability to hit the board frequently makes him a strong each-way contender who could surprise if the favourites falter.

MEDIUM RISK

CAREER15:5-4

Jockey:Nikki Olzard

Trainer:Joshua Manzelmann

Odegaard has a strong place strike rate and is still relatively lightly raced compared to some of his rivals, indicating potential for further improvement. From a good barrier and with a competitive profile, he represents excellent each-way value in this race.

Barrier 2 · 129kg · Form: —

MEDIUM RISK

CAREER22:8-3

Jockey:Mckenzie Apel

Trainer:Ricky Vale

Early Fusion has a decent win percentage and comes from the in-form Ricky Vale stable, which is a significant positive. However, his overall place percentage is lower than some rivals, suggesting he might be more of a win-or-bust type, making him a solid but not top-tier contender.

CAREER59:8-11

Jockey:Samantha Pointon

Your Too Good has a high number of starts but a lower win and place strike rate, indicating he finds it tough at this level. While barrier 1 is advantageous, his overall form suggests he'll need significant improvement to challenge the top horses here.

HIGH RISK

CAREER51:9-4

Jockey:Tahlia Fenlon

Trainer:Lachie Manzelmann

Rubunkar has a long career with a modest win rate and a very low place percentage, suggesting he struggles to finish in the money. Drawn wide in barrier 8, he faces a tough task against a competitive field and is likely to be an outsider.

Dealing's Done has a very low place strike rate from a significant number of starts, indicating a lack of competitiveness at this level. Starting from barrier 7, he will need a career-best performance to feature prominently in this strong Open Handicap.
