Smart Scud comes from the astute Rodney Northam yard and has shown promising trial form, including a recent win. With Grant Buckley in the saddle and a favourable inside barrier, this debutant looks to have the best credentials to break its maiden at first asking.

Kris Lees-trained runner with a top jockey aboard and a solid barrier. Although still a maiden, her last start was encouraging, and she appears well-placed to break through here. The stable is in good form, adding to her appeal.

Ngunnawal looks to be the standout here, dropping significantly in class from a much tougher metropolitan race. With a strong jockey aboard and a favorable barrier, this horse is perfectly positioned to return to winning ways against a weaker field.

This horse has an impressive 100% win record from its sole start, indicating significant potential. Stepping into a Benchmark 58, the class rise is manageable, and with Kody Nestor aboard, it's poised to continue its winning ways. The barrier draw is good, and the horse carries a light weight relative to its potential.

Lord Remlap was a dominant debut winner and looks to have significant upside. Despite stepping up to Class 1, the form suggests he can handle the rise in grade and the draw is favourable for a forward run. He is the clear best bet in this field.

Zampano boasts an impressive win rate from limited starts, indicating significant upside. While the wide barrier is a slight concern, his class and potential to improve suggest he can overcome it. With Rory Hutchings aboard, he's the one to beat.
