⭐ Main Contenders

Park Princess

Three wins from six over hurdles and now drops in class after a run in the Albert Bartlett. Leading contender.

Reckless Spending

Disappointing in a Grade 2 last time but better judged on earlier form. Big player if bouncing back.

⚠️ Next Best / Dangers

Pottersville

Impressive winner earlier in the season but has finished last on last two starts, including a Grade 2. Needs to recover.

Patrick’s Wells

Remote third on return from a long absence. Likely to improve for the run.

❌ Outsiders / Weak Profiles

Johnny Moonshine

Outclassed on bumper and maiden hurdle form. Hard to see him featuring.

📊 Race Summary

• Class drop is a key factor for leading contenders
• Previous winning form over hurdles holds strong weight
• Recent poor runs may be forgiven in stronger company
• Small field places emphasis on proven ability

Best Profile: Proven hurdle winners dropping in class after competing at a higher level

🏁 Final Verdict

1st Choice: Park Princess

Main Danger: Reckless Spending

Value Angle: Patrick’s Wells
