🔧 Bar plates (front) first time, unshod (behind) off first time, unshod (front) off first time.Back after a break. Placed first-up in 3 of last 9 runs.
Barrier 1 should allow a soft run through the race.
The Read
Tiff's Lad resumes today with a positive record of 3 wins from 9 first-up attempts, and barrier 1 offers a genuine advantage for getting a soft run in the race. Recent form is the main concern here, so that's what punters need to monitor closely before committing.

Candlelight Sherif
2J: Madi Derrick · T: R R Evans
Resuming today. First-up record of 1 from 5, runs well fresh.
Evans and Derrick combo striking 70% above expectation last 100 runs.
Drawn barrier 2 to get a soft run in the race.
The Read
Candlelight Sherif resumes today with a decent first-up record (1 from 5 placing), and the R R Evans/Madi Derrick combination is striking 70% above expectation over the last 100 runs, which underpins confidence in the stable. The horse was beaten only 4 lengths last start and is plainly racing in form. Barrier 2 looks favourable for getting a soft run. The main concern is a class move here, and there is no standout speed figure to lean on, so watch whether the horse can handle the step up in company.

The horse has winning form at Carnarvon with 1 win from 3 starts there. The main concern is a class move and recent form trends, while the wide barrier 8 of 8 is the practical obstacle to monitor on the day.

Candlelight Sherif⚔️ Danger
J: Madi Derrick · T: R R Evans
Candlelight Sherif resumes today with a decent first-up record (1 from 5 placing), and the R R Evans/Madi Derrick combination is striking 70% above expectation over the last 100 runs, which underpins confidence in the stable. The horse was beaten only 4 lengths last start and is plainly racing in form. Barrier 2 looks favourable for getting a soft run. The main concern is a class move here, and there is no standout speed figure to lean on, so watch whether the horse can handle the step up in company.
Awesome Lily🔧 Visors off first time.
J: Rocky Cheung · T: D E Black
Awesome Lily draws barrier 3, which should allow a soft run in running. However, the rating case is constrained by three concerns: recent form has wobbled, the horse is stepping up in class, and recent speed figures offer no standout marker of improvement. The main thing to watch is whether those recent form struggles reverse and whether the class shift proves manageable.
Urban Warrior
J: Sharni Webster · T: Malcolm Mackenzie
Urban Warrior resumes today with a concerning 0-for-8 record first-up and typically needs a run to find form, which is the main thing to watch. The positive driver is the Malcolm Mackenzie/Sharni Webster combination, which has struck 93% above expectation over the last 100 runs. However, the rating is weighed down by concerns around class movement and recent form, so this shapes up as a watch-and-wait proposition rather than a confident play on debut for this campaign.
Odin Omen🔧 Blinkers first time.
J: Jefferson Tsang · T: Cliff Howe
Odin Omen resumes today with a positive fresh record of 2 from 5 first-up runs, and the Cliff Howe/Jefferson Tsang combination is striking 31% above expectation across their last 100 runners, which is a meaningful edge. However, recent form and recent speed both present concerns, and there's also a class or market concern flagged in the profile. First-time blinkers are being applied as a sharpening tool, which is the main thing to watch for whether the gear change can unlock improvement from a horse that hasn't shown standout recent numbers.
Run Teddy Run
J: Jordan Turner · T: Jacquelyn Scott
Run Teddy Run has posted among the quickest recent time figures in the field, running 0.3s under track par, and the jockey-trainer combo of Jordan Turner and Jacquelyn Scott has struck 57% above expectation over their last 100 rides together. The main thing to watch is that the horse is resuming today and has yet to win first-up from 5 attempts, usually needing a run to find peak form, plus it faces a wide barrier 7 of 8 to navigate.
Deal Obtained🎯 Next Best
J: Kate Pateman · T: G M Ayres
Deal Obtained brings the quickest recent time figure in the field, running 0.5s under track par, and has a reliable fresh record with 2 placings from 5 first-up runs. The horse has winning form at Carnarvon with 1 win from 3 starts there. The main concern is a class move and recent form trends, while the wide barrier 8 of 8 is the practical obstacle to monitor on the day.
