Jockey:Fiona Sandkuhl

Trainer:Georgina Holt

Scarlena has the most career starts and has placed twice, indicating some ability. While she hasn't won, her consistent minor placings suggest she's competitive at this level, and the experience will be a major asset against less seasoned rivals.

Heart Of Vienna

MEDIUM RISK

CAREER0:0-0

Jockey:Tasha Chambers

Trainer:Tom Button

As a first-starter from the astute Tom Button stable, Heart Of Vienna commands respect. While lacking race experience, the stable's record with two-year-olds and the booking of Tasha Chambers suggest she's been well-prepared for her debut.

Cryptic Mistress

MEDIUM RISK

CAREER1:0-0

Jockey:Wanderson D'avila

Trainer:Megan Purvis

Cryptic Mistress had one unplaced run but draws the coveted rail barrier, which is a significant advantage over 1006m. With natural improvement from her debut and a good run in transit, she could surprise at an each-way price.

MEDIUM RISK

CAREER3:0-0

Jockey:Tahlia Fenlon

Trainer:Tom Button

Another from the Tom Button yard, Sixty Nine Grange has had three starts but hasn't shown much. However, the stable often improves its runners, and with the most race experience among the unplaced runners, a breakthrough isn't out of the question if he's matured.

Hugo's Hangover

HIGH RISK

CAREER0:0-0

Jockey:Ivo Fry

Trainer:Krystin Allender

Hugo's Hangover is a first-starter from a smaller stable but draws a favourable barrier. Without any form to go on, his chances are speculative, relying purely on natural talent and preparedness for his debut outing.

Jockey:Aidan Holt

Astilla had one unplaced run and now draws an inside barrier. While the barrier is a plus, her debut effort wasn't inspiring. She'll need to show significant improvement to feature in this competitive maiden.

Jockey:Sean Cormack

Trainer:Fred Wieland

Worthy Gem showed little on debut and now faces a similar field. While he has the benefit of a run, he'll need to step up considerably to be competitive, and his wide barrier doesn't help his cause.

HIGH RISK

Jockey:Adam Sewell

Trainer:Bonnie Thomson

Auchterarder's debut was uninspiring, and while he has a good barrier, it's hard to make a strong case for him based on that run. He's an outsider who would need to improve dramatically to be in contention.

Briginshaw is a first-starter from a wide gate, making his debut a tough assignment. With no form to assess and a challenging barrier, he's a true outsider and would need to show exceptional natural ability to win.
