Holdout
Barrier 1 · 127kg · Form:
MEDIUM RISK
CAREER25:1-3
Jockey:Jason Li
Trainer:Neville Parnham

Holdout gets the rails draw and is from a top stable, which are significant advantages in a race of this calibre. While his career record isn't inspiring, the barrier and trainer could see him improve sharply here.

Hundred Yards
Barrier 2 · 134kg · Form:
MEDIUM RISK
CAREER14:1-1
Jockey:Elisha Whittington
Trainer:Brett Pope

Hundred Yards has a low career start count for this type of race, suggesting some untapped potential. With a good barrier and a trainer who can get them ready, he might be ready to show more than his bare form suggests.

HIGH RISK
CAREER36:2-5
Jockey:Joey Azzopardi
Trainer:Jarrad Humphries

Anna's Boy has a poor win rate but has placed a few times, indicating some ability to run on. The wide barrier is a concern, but in a race like this, a strong finish could still see him sneak into the placings.

CAREER31:1-3
Jockey:Jefferson Tsang

Lead By Example has a very low win percentage and struggles to find the frame, but the trainer is capable. A good barrier might give him a chance to be closer to the speed and potentially hold on for a minor placing.

CAREER66:2-5
Jockey:Natika Riordan

Maximum Impact has a very poor win and place record from a large number of starts, suggesting he's well-exposed and limited. It's hard to make a case for him against even this moderate opposition, requiring a career-best performance.
