Promising three-year-old colt closing in on a maiden breakthrough after an excellent first-up second at Pakenham Synthetic, beaten just 0.3 lengths over 1000m. Previously demonstrated his ability at stakes level when finishing runner-up in the $250,000 VOBIS Gold Rush at Bendigo. Has placed in both first-up appearances and should take further improvement from his recent return. Ethan Brown retains the ride for the powerful Hayes stable, with barrier five providing a favourable draw. Brings strong exposed form into this maiden assignment and looks a leading winning contender.

Promising four-year-old gelding resuming after an encouraging previous preparation, highlighted by consecutive runner-up finishes where he closed strongly over the concluding stages. Returns to his home track following a quiet trial and looks well suited by the expected race tempo. Proven on rain-affected ground and should appreciate any give in the surface. Leading country jockey Aaron Bullock takes the ride for Scott Singleton, with his strong finishing ability making him a genuine winning contender fresh.

Consistent four-year-old mare racing in excellent form after a strong victory at Tamworth followed by a narrow runner-up finish at Muswellbrook, beaten just 0.6 lengths. Boasts two wins and five placings from nine career starts, highlighting her reliability. Mitchell Bell retains the ride for Brett and Georgie Cavanough, with the mare returning to 1000m after two impressive performances over longer distances. Despite barrier nine, her recent form makes her a genuine winning contender in this Class 2 assignment.
