CAREER14:1-0

Jockey:Ben Thompson

Trainer:David Vandyke

MEDIUM RISK

CAREER7:1-1

Jockey:Jett Newman

Trainer:John Gilmore

MEDIUM RISK

CAREER7:1-0

Jockey:Mark Du Plessis

Trainer:Paul Wallace

Beautiful Jo has a good win strike rate for a Class 1 horse and a solid jockey in Mark Du Plessis. The middle barrier is acceptable, and if she can reproduce her best form, she's certainly capable of being in the finish. She's one to consider for exotics.

CAREER8:1-0

Jockey:Stacey Callow

Trainer:Kevin Kemp

Kids Inthe Kitchen has a wide barrier to contend with, which will make his task harder. While he has a win to his name, his place strike rate is low, suggesting inconsistency. He'll need a lot of luck in running to be a factor here.

Jockey:Scott Sheargold

Stynsy has a wide barrier and a low win strike rate, which are significant concerns. While he has placed a few times, he's likely to find this class and distance a challenge. He's a definite outsider who would need a career-best performance.
