| R1 | Semantics gets a strong rating and remains the runner to beat. The +4 m rail gives additional importance to the map, while Model Gigi is the value runner to watch. |
| R2 | Sister’s Run moves above Lollie’s Galore after the rail, weight and map adjustment. Barrier 2 and 57.5 kg are positives, with the recent Ballarat 2000 m run also supporting the rating. Lollie’s Galore remains a major danger from barrier 1. |
| R3 | Hedjet retains the highest rating on the card. The 1400 m setup suits and there are fewer map concerns than in several other races. Belle Flamme is the main danger. |
| R4 | Kingsbury remains on top after the +4 m rail adjustment. Jackand and Perfect Night rate strongly, while Albanian I Am is the runner to keep in mind at a bigger price. |
| R5 | Crocodile strengthens with the conditions. The 58.5 kg and barrier 6 combination compares favourably with the higher-weighted runners, while its recent form supports the rating. Kiss My Rock is the value inclusion. |
| R6 | Handee moves narrowly ahead of Moana Spirit after accounting for weight and barrier. Barrier 2 and 58 kg are positives. Moana Spirit remains a serious threat, while Wonderful Sky is marked down by barrier 14 with the rail +4 m. |
| R7 | Imperial Award remains the top-rated runner, with two wins from two at 1200 m. However, barrier 10 and 60.5 kg prevent it from receiving the same confidence as the highest-rated runners in better maps. |
| R8 | Gina’s A Star makes the biggest move, going above Bold Bordeaux after the map/weight adjustment. Barrier 2 and 58 kg are strong positives. Bold Bordeaux has barrier 3 but carries 60.5 kg, while Walter Spur gets the inside barrier. |
