Barrier 6 · 131kg · Form:
MEDIUM RISK
CAREER25:1-3
Jockey:Holly Nottle
Trainer:Takahide Ikenushi

Rosentrea has considerable career experience but a low win rate, though a moderate place rate. The wide barrier is a concern, but the horse's experience could be an asset in a competitive handicap, making it an each-way prospect if things go its way.

Into The Future
Barrier 8 · 128kg · Form:
MEDIUM RISK
CAREER8:1-0
Jockey:Victoria Corver
Trainer:Ryan Hill

Into The Future has shown a win from limited starts but lacks a place record, indicating an all-or-nothing running style. The wide barrier is a disadvantage, but if the horse finds its rhythm early, it could be a factor at good odds.

HIGH RISK
CAREER8:1-0
Jockey:Bailey Webster
Trainer:Casey Rose

Traded My Shoes has a win to its credit but a very low place percentage, suggesting inconsistency. While the barrier draw is acceptable, the overall form and lack of strong supporting statistics make this horse a roughie with a high-risk profile.

Jockey:Sasha Starley
