Big Cypress (SR:84, 13/8) is the clear market leader and has been backed in 13% since opening, the only meaningful steamer in the field. Trained by Joseph Patrick O'Brien (16% strike rate, 3,232 runners — the dominant yard here) and ridden by Dylan Browne McMonagle (17% strike rate, 1,726 runners), the strongest connections combination in the race by a wide margin. The 9-8 weight and 3yo allowance give a meaningful edge over the older horses carrying 9-12. Form of 7-4352 shows consistent improvement and engagement at the track, and while the SR of 84 looks modest, this is a weak maiden field where the top SR is only 138 (Nustty, a 14/1 drifter at 23%) — connections confidence and class of yard matter far more here than raw SR in an underpowered field.
Each-way alternative: Teoest.
Main danger: Teoest — Teoest (SR:90, 15/8, J S Bolger/Colin Keane — 16% jockey strike rate) is the co-favourite at a similar price with progressive form of 4642 and the second-strongest jockey booking in the race, making it the most credible threat to Big Cypress if O'Brien's runner underperforms.

SR of 84 is the second-lowest in the field among runners with form — Teoest (SR:90, 15/8) is nearly co-favourite and has a higher SR plus Colin Keane, suggesting the market is far from sold on Big Cy…
Form sequence 7-4352 shows Big Cypress has never won — five career starts yielding only a place, and the best effort is a 2nd, raising doubt whether this horse can convert on the day.
Saliba (SR:83, 4/1) ran only 7 days ago and is also steaming in (5%), showing yard confidence from a powerful operation (Harrington/Shane Foley), providing a live rival that the primary case largely…
Nustty holds the field's highest SR at 138 — significantly superior rating to Big Cypress's 84 — and at 14/1 represents a horse whose ceiling may be well above anything Big Cypress has shown.
