#3 Cheerful World is nearing a breakthrough victory, following a strong third in a competitive race last start and a solid trial since. Barrier 1 guarantees a favourable run. #2 Super Legends endured a tough trip from a wide draw last time but finished strongly, only fading late. Despite another tricky draw in gate 10, he remains a key chance in this weaker field. #9 Island Buddy resumes for his second career start and has shown progress in his recent trials. With barrier 2 and trainer Cody Mo in good form, he looks capable of making an impact. #11 Lucky Man benefits from a favourable draw in gate 3, and his last-start sixth was better than it appears, hitting the line well after being taken back in the early stages.
