MEDIUM RISK

CAREER3:1-0

Jockey:Jett Stanley

Trainer:Trent Busuttin & Natalie Young

Another runner from the Busuttin & Young stable, Madesian has a good strike rate early in its career. The inside barrier is a plus, and with a top trainer, this horse is capable of a strong performance, though the jockey is less experienced.

Barrier 2 · 130kg · Form: —

MEDIUM RISK

CAREER5:1-0

Jockey:Liana Wood

Trainer:Kim & Gayle Mayberry

The King And I has shown some ability early in its career with a win from five starts. The inside barrier is a definite advantage, and if the horse can improve on its last start, it could be a factor in this field at a good price.

Russian Roni

HIGH RISK

CAREER35:5-4

Jockey:Jason Maskiell

Trainer:Rebecca Kelly

Russian Roni is a very experienced runner with a decent number of wins, but the overall place strike rate is not strong. While capable on its day, the horse might find this class a bit tough against younger, more progressive types, making it a roughie.

CAREER39:6-3

Jockey:Valentin Le Boeuf

Trainer:Reg Manning

Grand Sage is a veteran of many races with multiple wins, but its overall form suggests it might be past its prime. While the horse has experience, it's unlikely to trouble the main contenders in this field, making it a long shot.

HIGH RISK

CAREER14:1-3

Jockey:Rhys McLeod

Trainer:Glen Thompson

Monte Cassino has a low win rate and a moderate place rate from a fair number of starts. The wide barrier draw is a disadvantage, and the horse's overall form suggests it will struggle to compete with the stronger runners in this field.

CAREER10:1-1

Jockey:Sally Wynne

Trainer:Sally Wynne

Northwood Vamoose has a very low win and place strike rate, and a wide barrier draw further complicates its chances. With the jockey also being the trainer, this horse is facing a tough task against more established and in-form competitors.
