Kings Castle
Barrier 6 · 126kg · Form:
MEDIUM RISK
CAREER25:3-5
Jockey:Wanderson D'avila
Trainer:Darby Amos

Kings Castle has a decent place percentage and has shown glimpses of ability throughout its career. While not a prolific winner, the horse can certainly hit the frame, and with a mid-range barrier, could be a factor if the pace suits and Wanderson D'avila can find cover.

Jockey:Tahlia Fenlon

CAREER21:2-3
Jockey:Adam Sewell
Trainer:Darryl Johnston

Sideshow Frankie has shown some ability with two career wins and a decent place percentage from fewer starts than some rivals. The barrier is good, and with Adam Sewell aboard for Darryl Johnston, this runner could be an improver in this field, making it a roughie chance.

CAREER17:1-3
Jockey:Ryan Wiggins
Trainer:Ricky Vale

Kayleen's Profit has a lower win percentage but a reasonable place strike rate, indicating it can run into the money on its day. The inside barrier is a positive, and with Ryan Wiggins in the saddle, there's a chance for a better run, but overall form suggests this is a roughie.

CAREER40:3-3
Jockey:Chris Mciver
Trainer:Jessica Kuhn

Shadow Project has a low win and place percentage from a high number of starts, suggesting consistency is an issue. While the rail barrier is ideal, the horse will need a significant turnaround in form to be competitive here, making it a longshot.

Boom Crusher
Barrier 9 · 122kg · Form:
HIGH RISK
CAREER31:1-11
Trainer:Darryl Johnston

Boom Crusher has a very low win percentage but a surprisingly high place percentage, indicating it can often run into minor placings without winning. The wide barrier is a disadvantage, and without a jockey listed, confidence is further reduced, making this horse a true outsider.
