Cowboykickedfive
4J: Jake Noonan · T: Reece Goodwin
Among the quickest recent time figures in the field.
Placed last start, beaten 4L. Racing in form.
Resuming today. Yet to win first-up from 5 attempts, usually needs a run.
The Read
Cowboykickedfive is among the quickest recent time figures in the field and was placed last start, beaten only 4 lengths, which puts it on an upward trajectory. The case leans on recent speed and trainer form as the primary supports. The main thing to watch is its first-up record - 0 wins from 5 attempts resuming, and it usually needs a run to find peak form.
Over Sheistheboss?
Whether it can win first-up. Cowboykickedfive's recent form is sharp, with time figures among the best in the field and a placing last start beaten only 4L. The catch is the 2kg weight penalty plus a zero from five first-up attempts. It'll need that early speed from barrier 4 to stick with the leaders and avoid the need for a late run.
Top Liner
10J: Jason Maskiell · T: Alexander Rae
Alexander Rae in form. 50% above expectation last 100 runners.
Wide barrier 10 of 11 to overcome from the start.
The Read
Top Liner is trained by Alexander Rae, who is 50 percent above expectation across the last 100 runners, and carries class and experience as strengths. Recent form is a concern and there are no standout speed figures. The main thing to watch is the wide barrier 10 of 11, which will require Top Liner to overcome ground disadvantage.
Over Sheistheboss?
Getting clear room from the back. Alexander Rae's form reads well across the last 100 runners, which is a genuine positive at this level. The hurdle is barrier 10 in an 11-runner field, and with Top Liner settling back, it'll need luck in running that Sheistheboss from barrier 9 won't require.

Allyouwanadoisrock
J: Damien Thornton · T: M M Laurie
Allyouwanadoisrock has drawn barrier 1 for an ideal position and carries class as a strength. Recent form is a concern, and there are no standout speed figures in the form guide. The draw is the main asset here, but form weakness limits the upside case.
Rhencullen
J: Christopher Pang · T: Kerry Farrugia
Rhencullen has a powerful weapon in the Kerry Farrugia and Christopher Pang combination, which has struck 262 percent above expectation across the last 100 rides, and it draws barrier 2 for a soft run. The case is built on that jockey-trainer excellence. Recent form, recent speed, and trainer form are all concerns, and there are no standout time figures to rely on.
Hirarkee
J: Aaron Sweeney · T: R C Manning
Hirarkee has drawn barrier 3 to secure a soft run, which is its clearest positive. However, recent speed and form are concerns, the jockey's current form is a concern, and there are no standout time figures to build confidence. Class is a strength, but not enough to offset the soft underbelly in recent performance.
Cowboykickedfive⚔️ Danger
J: Jake Noonan · T: Reece Goodwin
Cowboykickedfive is among the quickest recent time figures in the field and was placed last start, beaten only 4 lengths, which puts it on an upward trajectory. The case leans on recent speed and trainer form as the primary supports. The main thing to watch is its first-up record - 0 wins from 5 attempts resuming, and it usually needs a run to find peak form.
Good De Lune
J: Valentin Le Boeuf · T: T Kilgower
Silver Maid
J: Dylan Dunn · T: Ms S Trolove
Silver Maid's single strength is Dylan Dunn, the in-form jockey riding 61 percent above expectation across the last 100 rides. Recent form, recent speed, and trainer form are all concerns, and there are no standout time figures. The jockey must do heavy lifting against a form and fitness backdrop that does not support confidence.
Spin Class
J: Adam Mc Cabe · T: Robert Palm
SheisthebossTOP PICK
J: Teodore Nugent · T: Jack Laing
Sheistheboss owns the quickest recent time figure in the field, running 2.8 lengths a km under the track average, and was placed last start beaten just 2.5 lengths. The case is built squarely on superior recent speed and current form. Class is also a strength, giving this horse a straightforward rating foundation.
Top Liner🎯 Next Best
J: Jason Maskiell · T: Alexander Rae
Top Liner is trained by Alexander Rae, who is 50 percent above expectation across the last 100 runners, and carries class and experience as strengths. Recent form is a concern and there are no standout speed figures. The main thing to watch is the wide barrier 10 of 11, which will require Top Liner to overcome ground disadvantage.
King Leonidas🔧 Lugging bit first time, tongue tie first time.
J: Celine Gaudray · T: E & D Browne
King Leonidas has no standout rating drivers and presents neutral facts across the board. It is returning from a spell with no first-up record yet established, and it has drawn the widest barrier 11 of 11. There is insufficient evidence to build a case for this runner.
