Oceans Above is a consistent performer at this level with good career prize money. Trainer Reece Goodwin will have him primed, and with top jockey Craig Newitt aboard, he presents as the clear top pick in this field.

High Country Star brings excellent recent form, including a dominant maiden win, and steps up in class but with a favorable weight. Luke Nolen's booking is a significant positive, and despite a wide draw, the horse has shown versatility. This horse looks to be on an upward trajectory and should be very competitive here.
