Verdict

THE AUTUMN WIND (8) made a big impression on debut when winning a Maiden at this track and distance on soft ground as an odds-on favourite after travelling well and lengthening strongly. He now has to take that into BM58 company, but the profile is progressive and the same track-and-trip setup gives him the clearest winning case. KERMITISAPET (4) brings sharper race fitness after sweeping home to win a Class 1 at the Beaumont by just over three lengths, with her wet-track record and proven 6f form adding substance. Leading contender. OVERZONE (2) resumes off a six-month break with a Muswellbrook trial behind him. Consistent gelding likely to go back from the draw and be ridden for luck. THE DUX NUTS (15) is third-up, well drawn and has the 6f record to be dangerous, especially if he builds on the close Class 1 fifth at Tamworth two runs back. Leading player.

8	Made an excellent debut at this track and distance, winning a Mdn by just over a length on soft ground as the odds-on favourite. He settled just off the lead, travelled well and lengthened strongly to beat Oakfield Virginia, suggesting there is natural improvement to come second-up. More depth now, but the profile is progressive and he looks the one to beat. 1st Pick 8 The Autumn Wind Jockey: Mikayla Weir Trainer: Scott Singleton J: Mikayla Weir T: Scott Singleton	184	-	-	-	75%	1/3

4	Produced a strong last-start win in a Class 1 at the Beaumont, beginning slowly before sprinting clear to beat Albert's Pick by just over three lengths on soft ground. That followed a closing fifth over 5f at Muswellbrook, so she has worked into the campaign nicely. With the winning rider back, she is a genuine danger again. 2nd Pick 4 Kermitisapet Jockey: Mitchell Bell Trainer: Tim Mcintosh J: Mitchell Bell T: Tim Mcintosh	112	-	-	-	13%	7/1

2	Returns from a six-month break after building a tidy four-start record last campaign, with one win and two placings. His latest fourth in a Class 1 at this track had some merit after a bump near the 1 ½f, and the run prior he was sent out favourite before charging into second at Tamworth. Back with the one trial and Class 1 form last campaign reads well for this. 3rd Pick 2 Overzone Jockey: Andrew Gibbons Trainer: Wayne Wilkes J: Andrew Gibbons T: Wayne Wilkes	64	-	-	-	13%	7/1
