Shoreman
Barrier 3 · 130kg · Form:
MEDIUM RISK
CAREER14:2-3
Trainer:Keith Dryden & Libby Snowden

Shoreman has a respectable place percentage and a good barrier draw, which could see him get a soft run. While his win rate is lower, he could sneak into the placings if the pace is hot and he gets a clear passage late. He's a solid roughie prospect.

Zoucat
Barrier 5 · 130kg · Form:
HIGH RISK
CAREER12:2-3
Trainer:Matthew Kelley

Zoucat has a solid place percentage and a middle barrier, which offers options. However, without a confirmed jockey and with a moderate win rate, he's more of a place chance than a winning one. He'll need everything to go right to feature.

Pushalot has a lot of starts for a low win percentage, suggesting he finds it hard to win. While he has a decent place record, he's likely to be a minor player here. He'll need a career-best performance to challenge the top contenders.
