Twice a winner in her last five starts, Maria da Silva has run over today's trip and on this going, and returns fresh after 28 days with a pair of fourths since. Our rating of 79 ranks her top of the 11, though 137 lb is a notable burden.

SR 85 is competitive — each-way claims if conditions suit on the day.

Espanita arrives in cracking form, runner-up on her last two starts and a winner three starts back, and she's fresh from a quick 11-day turnaround, with experience of both today's trip and the going. The main risk is 136 lb from draw 2, a hefty burden off an official mark of 69.

Third last time out just 19 days ago, Goomah has run over today's trip and on this going, and her rating of 75 ranks her second of 11 as a leading threat from stall four. The risk is that she's yet to win in her last five starts and carries 135 lb.

Second Fiddle is yet to win in her last six, though she has been second, third, third, fourth and second before an unplaced latest effort, and she has run over today's trip and going. Carrying 134 lb from draw 9 after 25 days off, she looks a place type, with our rating of 67 putting her seventh of 11.
AI verdict

SR 70 suggests ability but 5/1 reflects a stiff ask in this field.

Sailor's Return arrives in good heart after a second last time out, just 11 days ago, and has run over today's trip and going before; our rating of 71 backs her as a serious threat. The main risk is a 133 lb burden from draw 7 and a hit-and-miss record, with one win in her last six.

Winless in her last six, Silky Lass was eighth last time out and ninth the run before, though a second three starts back and a third four starts back show she can be competitive; she has run over today's trip and going, but 42 days off and 132 lb are hurdles, and our rating of 71 sits fifth of eleven.

SR 43 suggests ability but 40/1 reflects a stiff ask in this field.

Won twice in her last six, including a win four starts back and another three starts back, then a third and a fifth last time out, so she's drifting the wrong way after 20 days off. She has run over this trip and on this going, but 132 lb from stall 6 and a modest speed figure of 53 leave her a midfield type.

SR 59 suggests ability but 16/1 reflects a stiff ask in this field.

Leelawadee has been beaten in her last six outings, with only a second three starts back to cheer, and she was unplaced last time before a 33-day break. Her yard is 0/29 over the last 14 days, and ranked tenth of eleven on our rating, she is hard to fancy, though she has run over today's trip and going.
AI verdict

SR 43 is modest for this company — needs everything to go right at 40/1.

Fresh from a run nine days ago, she was a ninth last time out after back-to-back thirds, and she has a win five starts back; she has run over today's trip and going, though she's one from six lately and carries 127 lb from stall 10. Our rating of 65 ranks her eighth of 11, which sums up a mid-pack profile.

Carmel Valley is winless in her last six and has been unplaced, eighth and seventh in her last three, so she is hard to fancy, though a third four starts back and a second five back show she has had better days. She has run over today's trip and is officially rated 59, but our rating ranks her ninth of 11.

Sassy Glory is hard to fancy, ranked last of 11 on our figures, and a ninth two starts back sits awkwardly with her better efforts. Still, she was second last time out, won three starts back, is fit after nine days and has run over this trip and going.

Maria da Silva
Confidence: Speculative

Maria da Silva (SR:85, 11/4) is the clear SR leader in this field by a significant margin over the next-best, carries 9-11 which is manageable, and brings a course record of W2P2 at Newcastle AW — a specialist track advantage that matters. Both DistFit:+ and GoingFit:+ confirm she handles today's mile on good AW ground, and the market has steamed 25% since opening, signalling informed money. Form string 6-1144 shows she was winning readily before a couple of modest runs, but the class hasn't moved (ClassMv:=) and the MarkMv:+3 is a small rise she can absorb given the SR edge she holds over every rival. Each-way alternative: Second Fiddle. Main danger: Sailor's Return — Sailor's Return (SR:74, 7/2) carries the second-highest SR in the field with Daniel Tudhope booked (18% strike rate), though the drift of 24%, DistFit:-, GoingFit:-, and a ClassMv:↑1 with MarkMv:+5 all point against it — if those concerns prove overstated on the day, its raw ability makes it the most likely one to trouble the selection.

Case against 3 clamped
  • Form string 6-1144 ends with back-to-back 4th-place finishes — a two-run losing sequence that suggests she may be going through a flat patch rather than bouncing back today.
  • Second Fiddle (SR:70) has steamed in 43% and boasts a dominant W5P7 course record at Newcastle AW — superior course form profile could outweigh SR gap at track that rewards proven specialists.
  • P.J. McDonald's 14% strike rate is modest and his booking here is not notably strong; Sailor's Return pairs a higher-strike jockey (Tudhope, 18%) with a horse only 11 points behind on SR at a shorter…
