CAREER1:0-0

Jockey:Luke Rolls

Trainer:Paul Snowden

From the powerhouse Snowden stable, Steffiewah had a quiet debut but is expected to improve significantly with that run under her belt. Luke Rolls is a capable jockey, and the stable's record with second-up runners in maidens makes her a strong contender here.

CAREER18:0-4

Jockey:Archie Mccolm

Trainer:Joseph Burges

Varazze is a consistent maiden who has placed four times from 18 starts, showing a good level of ability for this grade. The inside barrier and a lightweight rider are positives, and if she gets a clean run, she could be right in the finish at good odds.

MEDIUM RISK

CAREER7:0-2

Jockey:Andrew Gibbons

Trainer:Leo Clapham

Virginia Breezes has shown glimpses of ability with two placings from seven starts and gets the services of Andrew Gibbons. The wide barrier is a concern, but if Gibbons can navigate a good run, she has the form to be competitive in this field.

Moonlight Diva placed once from three starts and showed some improvement last start. The wide barrier makes it tough, but with a bit of luck in running and further natural progression, she could surprise at value.

Jockey:Jett Newman

Sheriff's Star has had many chances (14 starts) but has placed twice, indicating some ability to run on. The wide barrier and lack of a winning strike rate are concerns, but the Matthew Dunn stable might find a way to get him into the money.

Dancing Tilda has been unplaced in five starts but has had a few runs to build fitness. The barrier is decent, and with Danny Peisley aboard, she might be able to show some improvement, but it's a speculative play.

Play It Cool is still learning, and while the barrier is good, her form to date hasn't been inspiring. She would need to make significant improvement to feature prominently in this field, making her a roughie.
