LOW RISK

CAREER0:0-0

Trainer:Craig Weeding

Another debutant with a plum draw and from a stable known for getting them ready first-up. While unproven, the lack of a jockey listed suggests a late booking of quality, and the overall profile points to a strong showing against this moderate maiden opposition.

Lei

Barrier 8 · 127kg · Form: —

MEDIUM RISK

CAREER2:0-1

Jockey:Fred Kersley

Trainer:Dominic Sutton

Lei has shown glimpses of ability in limited starts, including a place finish. With a better barrier draw and the engagement of Fred Kersley, this horse could improve sharply and is a strong each-way chance in a race where many are still finding their feet.

MEDIUM RISK

CAREER3:0-1

Jockey:Billy Egan

Trainer:Patrick Payne

Jockey:Portia Matthews

Trainer:Heath Maclean

This Simon Zahra-trained runner has had three starts without placing but has drawn the coveted rail. With Eoin Walsh in the saddle, if there's improvement from its previous runs, the inside gate could be a significant advantage in a race lacking dominant form.

Typhoon Romance

MEDIUM RISK

CAREER12:0-2

Jockey:Brittany Button

Trainer:John Fitzgerald

With 12 starts and two placings, Typhoon Romance has experience on its side and a good barrier. While yet to win, the consistent efforts suggest it could be a place chance if it can find a bit extra, especially with a light weight.

Back Of The Boat

Barrier 6 · 131kg · Form: —

MEDIUM RISK

CAREER17:0-1

Jockey:Neil Farley

Trainer:Jessica Pateman

This horse has had numerous starts (17) for only one placing, which is a concern. However, it has a decent barrier and Neil Farley is a capable rider. If it can put it all together, it might sneak into the placings, but a win seems unlikely.

Jockey:Jake Duffy

Trainer:Craig Weeding

Four starts with no placings is not encouraging form, although it's from the Craig Weeding yard. The barrier is acceptable, but the horse needs to improve dramatically on previous efforts to be competitive in this field.

Jockey:Cian Macredmond

Trainer:Ben Brisbourne

As a debutant with a wide barrier, Laysan faces a tough task. While from a capable stable, the wide draw for a first-starter often makes it difficult to get into a good position, making it a speculative choice.

Another debutant from the Ben Brisbourne yard, Vametta also has a very wide barrier to contend with. First-starters from wide gates rarely win, so it would need to be exceptionally talented to overcome the draw.
