No Bet - Skip This Race
This race is too open to call.
No runner stands out clearly on the form, so we're sitting this one out. We only put up a tip when the form genuinely separates the field - the full guide is still below.
If you had to have one, this is our order
Rebel Boom
Perfect first-up record - 1 from 1 placing. Runs well fresh.
Last start placed, beaten only 4.5L. In form now.
Barrier 3 should deliver a soft, economical run today.
First time on soft going. Untested in these conditions.
The Read
Rebel Boom is resuming with a first-up placement on record, has placed at the last start beaten 4.5L, and sits in barrier 3 with a soft draw. Watch for how it adapts to soft ground today, as this will be its first run in these conditions.

Another Champers
1J: Stephanie Tierney · T: S W Kendrick
Resuming today and excels fresh - 1 win from 2 starts first-up.
Quickest recent time figure in field, 3.1 lengths a km under average.
Won last start by 1.5 lengths at Rockhampton.
Handles soft ground - 1 win from 3 starts on soft.
The Read
Another Champers owns the quickest recent time figure in the field at 3.1 lengths a km under track average, has won 1 of 2 first-up starts, and carries a 40% career strike rate with a recent 1.5L win at Rockhampton. The soft-ground experience and barrier 1 draw add to a well-rounded profile, though class is a mild concern.
Over Rebel Boom?
Whether rebel boom handles soft conditions. It's the quickest horse in the field and thrives on fresh tracks, winning one from two first-up. The catch is the class drop from Open to Benchmark 60 might've dulled it, but Rebel Boom's untested on soft ground today and it handles that surface well.
On The Clock
8J: Kayla Johnston · T: L F Birchley
Wide barrier 8 of 8 to overcome.
The Read
On The Clock has recent form strength, current speed, and class credentials pushing the case forward. The main concern to monitor is the wide barrier 8 draw, which it will need to overcome.
Over Rebel Boom?
How rebel boom copes with the track. It steps down from Open company to Benchmark 60 where it belongs, and it's run three placings from six starts so it knows how to be competitive. The weight and the draw from barrier 7 are real obstacles, but Rebel Boom's never raced on soft going and that's the unknown.

Rebel BoomTOP PICK
J: Ryan Maloney · T: Stephen McLean
Rebel Boom is resuming with a first-up placement on record, has placed at the last start beaten 4.5L, and sits in barrier 3 with a soft draw. Watch for how it adapts to soft ground today, as this will be its first run in these conditions.
Vincley
J: Emily Lang · T: Richard Laming
Vincley is resuming and has won 1 of 2 first-up starts, backed by a dominant 4.5L win at Gold Coast last time and a trainer/jockey combination striking 437% above expectation. The fresh return and experience combine to make a strong case here.
Hold My Hand
J: Kelsey Lenton · T: Nicholas Beck
Hold My Hand is resuming and has placed on all three first-up starts with a recent beaten margin of 1.5L, racing in form behind a jockey running 55% above expectation. The recent speed is less standout, but the fresh record and trainer/jockey form carry weight.
Chat Mignon
J: Archie Mc Colm · T: R L Heathcote
Chat Mignon is resuming with a first-up placement on record and sits among the quickest time figures at 2.7 lengths a km under track average, plus races in form from a recent half-length defeat. Watch for how it handles soft ground today, as this will be its first run in these conditions.
Ever So Ready
J: · T: Richard Laming
Ever So Ready is resuming and has placed on all three first-up starts, with a recent placement beaten just 1.5L showing it is racing in form. The jockey form is a concern, and the wide barrier 7 will need managing.
On The Clock🎯 Next Best
J: Kayla Johnston · T: L F Birchley
On The Clock has recent form strength, current speed, and class credentials pushing the case forward. The main concern to monitor is the wide barrier 8 draw, which it will need to overcome.
