Form

Our picks:
Matt Moss (SX1) – Reigning champion Moss swept the premier class action one year ago and, despite a difficult outdoor campaign, he’s coming into round one at full flight.

Luke Clout (SX2) – After marginally missing the outdoor crown, Clout has what it takes to rebound in the stadiums and we think he can get it done.

Next best:
Gavin Faith (SX1) – A two-time SX2 champ, we’re excited to see Faith pitted against Moss and co. on the 450 this year and he should be just as strong on the bigger bike.

Jimmy Decotis (SX2) – Fan favourite Decotis was a late inclusion as part of Penrite Honda Racing and he could factor as Clout’s biggest challenger for the round and title.

Outside chances:
Adam Monea (SX1) – Monea hasn’t been at the centre of attention in this pre-season, but armed with the new KX450F and runner-up last year, he will capitalise on experience gained in the US earlier this year.

Dylan Wills (SX2) – Wills put himself on the map during supercross last year as the SXD champion, so as he steps up to SX2, the two-stroke equipped talent has already shown he can win races in the nationals.

Watch for:
SX1 – Kirk Gibbs, Kade Mosig, Lawson Bopping

SX2 – Taylor Potter, Jackson Richardson, Luke Arbon
