MEDIUM RISK

CAREER4:1-1

Jockey:Milos Bunjevac

Trainer:John & Chris Ledger

Sly Cascata

Barrier 12 · 129kg · Form: —

MEDIUM RISK

CAREER12:3-0

Jockey:Cassidy Hill

Trainer:Shelley Kirkpatrick

Sly Cascata has three wins from 12 starts, indicating ability, but the wide barrier 12 will make it very difficult to get a clean run. If the jockey can navigate a path without expending too much energy, the horse's winning habit could see it challenge. This is a horse with some upside if luck goes its way.

Disclevaboy is a veteran with 6 wins from 44 starts, demonstrating a competitive spirit. However, the wide barrier 14 is a significant hurdle, requiring a lot of luck or an exceptional ride. If he can overcome the draw, his experience could see him in the mix.

CAREER21:2-2

Jockey:Ryan Hurdle

Pharoah's Daughter has a reasonable number of starts and two wins, suggesting some capability in this grade. The middle barrier is acceptable, but the overall place strike rate is not overly inspiring. Could sneak into the minors with the right run.

CAREER6:1-1

Jockey:Brittany Button

Trainer:Gerald Egan

High Country Star has a good win rate for this class but the wide barrier 13 over 1559m is a major concern, potentially forcing a wide run or requiring too much effort early. While the career stats show promise, the barrier and lack of recent form data make this a risky proposition.
