No Bet - Skip This Race
This race is too open to call.
No runner stands out clearly on the form, so we're sitting this one out. We only put up a tip when the form genuinely separates the field - the full guide is still below.
If you had to have one, this is our order
Rebel Boom
Perfect first-up record - 1 from 1 placing. Runs well fresh.
Last start placed, beaten only 4.5L. In form now.
Barrier 3 should deliver a soft, economical run today.
First time on soft going. Untested in these conditions.
The Read
Rebel Boom is resuming with a first-up placement on record, has placed at the last start beaten 4.5L, and sits in barrier 3 with a soft draw. Watch for how it adapts to soft ground today, as this will be its first run in these conditions.

Another Champers
1J: Stephanie Tierney · T: S W Kendrick
Resuming today and excels fresh - 1 win from 2 starts first-up.
Quickest recent time figure in field, 3.1 lengths a km under average.
Won last start by 1.5 lengths at Rockhampton.
Handles soft ground - 1 win from 3 starts on soft.
The Read
Another Champers owns the quickest recent time figure in the field at 3.1 lengths a km under track average, has won 1 of 2 first-up starts, and carries a 40% career strike rate with a recent 1.5L win at Rockhampton. The soft-ground experience and barrier 1 draw add to a well-rounded profile, though class is a mild concern.
Over Rebel Boom?
Rebel boom's soft ground inexperience. Another Champers has the quickest recent time in the field, 3.1 lengths a km under the track average, and won one of two starts fresh. The catch is a 1.5kg weight rise and a step up from Open company, but Rebel Boom hasn't raced on soft ground yet and that's a genuine unknown.
On The Clock
8J: Kayla Johnston · T: L F Birchley
Wide barrier 8 of 8 to overcome.
The Read
On The Clock has recent form strength, current speed, and class credentials pushing the case forward. The main concern to monitor is the wide barrier 8 draw, which it will need to overcome.
Over Rebel Boom?
Whether the soft ground exposes rebel boom. On The Clock drops from Open to Benchmark 60 and holds three placings from six starts to prove staying power in a thin race. The barrier draw from eight is brutal, but Rebel Boom is a complete unknown on soft going and that's a real advantage to hunt.

Rebel BoomTOP PICK
J: Ryan Maloney · T: Stephen McLean
Rebel Boom is resuming with a first-up placement on record, has placed at the last start beaten 4.5L, and sits in barrier 3 with a soft draw. Watch for how it adapts to soft ground today, as this will be its first run in these conditions.
Vincley
J: Emily Lang · T: Richard Laming
Vincley is resuming and has won 1 of 2 first-up starts, backed by a dominant 4.5L win at Gold Coast last time and a trainer/jockey combination striking 437% above expectation. The fresh return and experience combine to make a strong case here.
Hold My Hand
J: Kelsey Lenton · T: Nicholas Beck
Hold My Hand is resuming and has placed on all three first-up starts with a recent beaten margin of 1.5L, racing in form behind a jockey running 55% above expectation. The recent speed is less standout, but the fresh record and trainer/jockey form carry weight.
Chat Mignon
J: Archie Mc Colm · T: R L Heathcote
Chat Mignon is resuming with a first-up placement on record and sits among the quickest time figures at 2.7 lengths a km under track average, plus races in form from a recent half-length defeat. Watch for how it handles soft ground today, as this will be its first run in these conditions.
Ever So Ready
J: · T: Richard Laming
Ever So Ready is resuming and has placed on all three first-up starts, with a recent placement beaten just 1.5L showing it is racing in form. The jockey form is a concern, and the wide barrier 7 will need managing.
On The Clock🎯 Next Best
J: Kayla Johnston · T: L F Birchley
On The Clock has recent form strength, current speed, and class credentials pushing the case forward. The main concern to monitor is the wide barrier 8 draw, which it will need to overcome.
