Spotlight: Finished fourth but only beaten 1½l (Rosehill) last month in a Group 3; a C&D winner; he can make a bold bid if duplicating the form of his most recent win and dropping in class.

Spotlight: Career record shows her ability to win (wins-runs record of 6-17); respectable effort in the Group 1 Newmarket Handicap at Flemington last month; should not be far away as recent display was promising and dropping in class.

Spotlight: Admirable career strike-rate (five from 18 to date); seventh of 13 in the Oakleigh Plate where he had four of these rivals behind him at Caulfield six weeks ago; this is the only ride on the card for Ethan Brown; class drop is a plus; is capable of making an impact.

Spotlight: Has managed five wins from 19 career runs; displayed a fair level of form when 3½l second at Caulfield over 6f (handicap) where just ahead of Perilous Fighter 20 days ago; needs to be respected.

Spotlight: Well beaten in the Oakleigh Plate at Caulfield 41 days ago; career record shows his ability to win (wins-runs record of 8-20); Damian Lane a notable booking and useful partnership with this jockey, back together here; no surprise to see him go well if excused most recent run as achieved Group 2 success two runs back and he has won in classy company before.

Spotlight: Record shows he knows where the winning post is (wins-runs career record of 4-11); near miss at 6-5 at Caulfield over 6f (handicap) last month; needs to be respected.

Spotlight: Solid run when fourth over 5f at Flemington (Listed race) in November on debut for this trainer; this might be easier; returns from a layoff here.

Spotlight: Admirable career strike-rate (nine from 29 to date); not far behind Oak Hill when sixth at Caulfield in September; returns from a layoff; latest effort was encouraging so he's an attractive contender.

Spotlight: Was on the premises (finished third of eight) at Flemington on debut for new trainer four weeks ago, behind the reopposing Verdoux; career record shows his ability to win (wins-runs record of 7-31) but not seen the winners' enclosure for a while now (last win in 2024); is passed over as no great record on second run back following a layoff.

Spotlight: Finished last of 12 at Randwick in September in a Group 3; admirable career strike-rate (seven from 25 to date); returns from an absence here; can have a big say if duplicating the form of his last win and dropping in class.

Spotlight: Out to complete a hat-trick and admirable career strike-rate (seven from 33 to date); landed a narrow success in a handicap (Cranbourne) last month; makes limited appeal despite that win last time.

Spotlight: Finished last of ten over 5f at Randwick (handicap) two months ago; a while since his last success and shown only moderate recent form; first run for trainer; this looks a decent race so has some questions to answer.

Spotlight: Record shows he knows where the winning post is (wins-runs career record of 7-32); fair effort over 4½f at Cranbourne (handicap) when he wasn't far behind Port Albert last month.

Spotlight: Not far behind She's Bulletproof when fourth over 6f at Caulfield (handicap) beaten 4½l last month; has two wins to his name this year; has hit the frame in several recent runs; others more appealing as meeting a number of horses who are in good form.
