Our Pick
Classic Ruler
Back after break. Winless first-up (0 from 6), but wins once second-up (1 from 5).
The Read
Classic Ruler's credentials rest on jockey form, recent speed, recent form and class working together as the rating drivers. No standout speed figure is noted. The main thing to watch is the resumption pattern - winless from six first-up attempts, but strikes once into the prep from five second-up starts, so it likely needs a run to show its best.

Choux Shoe
9J: Jefferson Tsang · T: Simon Miller
Runs well fresh - 2 wins from 5 first-up starts.
Knows Belmont Park 1400m - 1 win from 7 starts there.
The Read
Choux Shoe's case rests on class, recent speed and trainer form working in its favour. It has proven form at Belmont Park over 1400m with one win from seven starts, and places first-up at a rate of two from five, suggesting it runs well fresh. No standout speed figure is the caveat.
Cosmic Treat
3J: Lucy F Fiore · T: D T McAuliffe
Quick recent form. 3.2 lengths a km under track average.
Handles good ground well. One win from two starts on good.
Barrier 3 should give soft run in running.
Resuming today after winless first-up record. Strikes second-up, one win from three.
The Read
Cosmic Treat carries the second-quickest recent time figure in the field at 3.2 lengths a km under the track average and wins on good ground at one from two. Drawn at barrier 3 for a soft run, and class plus jockey form are the rating drivers. The main thing to watch is first-up form - winless from three resumptions, but strikes once into the prep from three second-up attempts.
The read on each runner - look past the pick for value.
About Turn
J: Jarrad Noske · T: Simon Miller
About Turn won last start by 2.5 lengths at Pinjarra and is suited over 1400m with one win from three at the trip. The Miller/Noske combination is striking 75% above expectation across the last 100, a commanding edge, and barrier 1 ensures a soft run. Resumption winlessness from three attempts is the one concern, though it does strike once into preps from three second-up starts.
Razmas
J: Holly Nottle · T: Campbell McCallum
Razmas brings recent speed and form as strengths, though class concerns and trainer form issues offset some appeal. Holly Nottle is riding 23% above expectation across the last 100 rides, which is a meaningful positive, and barrier 2 ensures a soft run. The main thing to watch is the first-up pattern - winless from five resumptions, but strikes once into the prep from five second-up attempts.
Cosmic Treat🎯 Next Best
J: Lucy F Fiore · T: D T McAuliffe
Cosmic Treat carries the second-quickest recent time figure in the field at 3.2 lengths a km under the track average and wins on good ground at one from two. Drawn at barrier 3 for a soft run, and class plus jockey form are the rating drivers. The main thing to watch is first-up form - winless from three resumptions, but strikes once into the prep from three second-up attempts.
Good Show
J: Austin Galati · T: Dylan Bairstow
Good Show owns the quickest recent time figure in the field at 7.3 lengths a km under the track average, a concrete speed advantage. It places first-up at a rate of one from two and the Dylan Bairstow/Austin Galati combination strikes 32% above expectation across the last 100 rides. Recent form concern is flagged as the main thing to watch against these positives.
Radiant Light
J: Natika Riordan · T: N D Parnham
Radiant Light is reliable fresh with two placements from three first-up attempts, and raced in form last start when beaten only 1.5 lengths. Recent form and recent speed are the case drivers here, though no standout speed figure accompanies the resumption credentials.
Sky River
J: Jason Li · T: N D Parnham
Sky River has not won first-up from four attempts and typically needs a run before showing its best, which is a significant resumption concern. Recent speed is noted as a strength, though class concern weighs against the case and no standout speed figure is recorded.
Classic RulerTOP PICK
J: William Pike · T: Ms C Stelmach
Classic Ruler's credentials rest on jockey form, recent speed, recent form and class working together as the rating drivers. No standout speed figure is noted. The main thing to watch is the resumption pattern - winless from six first-up attempts, but strikes once into the prep from five second-up starts, so it likely needs a run to show its best.
Pure Obsession
J: Jordan Turner · T: Colin Webster Jnr
Pure Obsession has genuine Belmont Park form at the trip with one win from three starts over 1400m, and recent form to point to after being placed last start beaten only 2 lengths. It handles first-up assignments reasonably well with one placement from four attempts, and the case strengthens around recent speed and class credentials.
Choux Shoe⚔️ Danger
J: Jefferson Tsang · T: Simon Miller
Choux Shoe's case rests on class, recent speed and trainer form working in its favour. It has proven form at Belmont Park over 1400m with one win from seven starts, and places first-up at a rate of two from five, suggesting it runs well fresh. No standout speed figure is the caveat.
Centre Bond
J: Jason Whiting · T: G C Ballantyne
Centre Bond's case leans on recent class, form and speed as the rating drivers, though it carries no standout speed figure. The main thing to watch is the resumption pattern - winless from five first-up attempts, but a single win from four starts second-up suggests it may need the run. Barrier 10 of 11 is a tangible hurdle to overcome from the draw.
Boussac🔧 Blinkers again.
J: Laqdar Ramoly · T: Meryl Hayley
Boussac is reliable fresh with three placements from five first-up attempts, a genuine positive on resumption. Returns to blinkers, which is a sharpening gear adjustment to note. Class concerns, recent form weakness and barrier 11 of 11 all weigh against it; the draw from the outside is the main thing to watch.
