A two-start prospect that has placed in both career runs, the most recent a 3L beaten effort that keeps it racing in form. The John McArdle/Lachlan King combo is striking 129% above expectation (last 100), and the case is supported by its age and sex and its experience. The thing to watch is its best speed, which has not yet been proven at a standout level.

It has among the quickest recent time figures in the field, and its class, age and sex, and trainer form all lean in its favour. It is drawn to get a soft run from barrier 3. The concern is its late speed, so it needs to be ridden positively to be in a position to finish strongly.

It owns the quickest recent time figure in the field, and its class and late speed are real strengths. The concerns are jockey form and recent speed, so the strength of its time figure needs to be backed up by its riding and recent performances. The thing to watch is whether its recent speed and jockey combination hold up on the day.

Placed at its last start, beaten 6L, so it comes into this race racing in form. Its experience and age and sex both work in its favour, and it is drawn to get a soft run from barrier 2. The concern is that its best speed has not produced a standout figure, so it must prove it can lift on this step up.

The C W McDonald/Beau Mertens combo is striking 35% above expectation (last 100), which is a useful positive. No standout rating driver is pushing its case either way, and no standout speed figure is on record. It is a first run back from a spell with no first-up record yet, so the main thing to watch is its readiness after the break.

It was placed at its last start, beaten 3.5L, so it is racing in form, and its late speed, class and experience are all strengths. The Ben, Will & Jd Hayes group is in form, running 30% above expectation across the last 100 runners. Its running style is the concern, so the way it is ridden will decide how much of its late speed it can use.

The Mitchell Leek/Hayley Spitse combo is striking 64% above expectation (last 100), and its late speed and class are strengths. Its recent form and running style are concerns, so its form line needs to be weighed carefully. The main thing to watch is the wide barrier 12 of 13 it has to overcome.

This is its first run back from a spell and it has no first-up record yet, so its readiness is the big unknown. It also has to overcome a wide barrier 13 of 13. No standout rating driver is pushing its case either way. The main thing to watch is how it performs fresh from the spell from such an awkward draw.
