Chris Parnham in the saddle — riding 34% above expectation last 100.

The Read

Bend It Like Becks is racing in form after placing last start, beaten only 1.5 lengths, and is partnered with in-form jockey Chris Parnham, who is riding 34% above expectation across his last 100 rides—a strong combination of recent momentum and skilled hands. The main thing to watch is the barrier assignment, which presents a concern that will need to be weighed against these form strengths.

1

Great Reception

J: Brad Parnham · T: A G Durrant

Last 50x066

Great Reception owns the quickest recent time figure in the field, 6.2 seconds under track par, which is the concrete speed standout here. The barrier 1 draw is a genuine plus, offering a soft run in running. The case leans on that recent speed and favourable gate position, though recent form is a concern worth monitoring closely.

2

Barraquito

J: Lucy F Fiore · T: G & A Williams

Last 50x0

G & A Williams' stable is running hot at 28% above expectation across the last 100 runners, a concrete edge in the trainer stakes. Barrier 2 should allow Barraquito to get a soft run into the race. The concern here is recent form, which is flagged as a weakness — that's the main thing to watch before committing.

3

Beautiful Ghost

J: Taj Dyson · T: Holly Taylor

Last 5090

Beautiful Ghost draws barrier 3, which should allow the horse to secure a soft run in the race. However, the case is tempered by concerns around class and recent form, which suggest caution is warranted. Watch closely how the horse settles early—a smooth passage through the first half will be critical to justifying confidence.

Flag High🔧 Blinkers off first time.

J: Clint Johnston-Porter · T: D T McAuliffe

Last 5078x5

Flag High comes with a concern around recent form and has stepped up in class, both factors that typically weigh against a horse's prospects. The main thing to watch is the application of first-time blinkers—a sharpening gear that may help unlock improvement, but the horse will need to respond to that change given the softer recent run and tougher assignment.

Miss Jimmada

J: Jason Whiting · T: G A Crispin

Last 567670

Miss Jimmada has clocked among the quickest recent time figures in the field, running 2.4 seconds under track par, which is a concrete edge in raw speed. However, the case is tempered by two material concerns: recent form has been patchy, and class positioning raises questions about whether this horse is meeting the right mark. The speed numbers are there to build on, but watch whether the recent inconsistency tightens up at the weights.

Miss Santa Corrs

J: Holly Watson · T: D M Luciani

Last 5226x6

Miss Santa Corrs comes here off a placed effort last start, beaten only 1.5L, which signals racing form and competitive fitness. The case leans on that recent speed and placement, though the main thing to watch is the resumption angle — the horse is yet to win first-up from 3 attempts and usually needs a run to find peak form.

Alaskan Nugget

J: Rocky Cheung · T: A W Maley

Last 547447

Alaskan Nugget has a clear edge in the saddle: Rocky Cheung is riding 26% above expectation over his last 100 rides, a material performance lift. The case leans on recent form as the main strength. The main thing to watch is class — the market is flagging a concern there, so punters should verify the field quality and whether Alaskan Nugget is well-placed in the grade.

Savvy Ruler🔧 Blinkers first time, winkers off first time.

J: William Pike · T: Summer Dickson

Last 532x28

Savvy Ruler is coming off a placed effort beaten only 1.5L, which signals racing form, and has Summer Dickson in the saddle — the jockey is running 26% above expectation across the last 100 runners. The case leans on recent sharpness and the jockey's hot form. Key watch: the horse resumes today and has yet to win first-up from 3 attempts, usually needing a run to peak.

J: Chris Parnham · T: Luke Fernie

Last 523

Bend It Like Becks is racing in form after placing last start, beaten only 1.5 lengths, and is partnered with in-form jockey Chris Parnham, who is riding 34% above expectation across his last 100 rides—a strong combination of recent momentum and skilled hands.

Yalda Night

J: Holly Nottle · T: Matthew Scott

Last 55226x

Yalda Night's case rests on recent form strength, but there are structural headwinds: the barrier is a concern and the class/market setup poses questions. The critical watch here is the first-up angle — the horse has not won in 4 previous resumptions and typically needs a run to find its feet, so it may take a race or two to show its best.

Rocking In Broome

J: Brayden Gaerth · T: Ms S L Miller

Last 5396x7

Rocking In Broome placed last start, beaten only 5 lengths, suggesting the horse is racing in form. The jockey Brayden Gaerth is a genuine strength here, riding 34% above expectation across the last 100 rides. The main watch is the wide barrier 12 of 13, which will demand a clean run in running to convert recent form into a result.
