The 2013 Federal election race – or the race for Hot Stephanie – is about to begin. What do the punters like and who will win?

Here, ladies and gentleman, is the Tunnel’s form guide for the key runners.

theyre racing

A New Way (K. Rudd)  [Labor stable]

Rudd is back on board after three year lay-off and returns to the scene of his greatest triumph. Has turned around alarming form slump since use of more aggressive tactics. Big danger.

Choose Real Change (T. Abbott)  [Coalition stable]

Long-time favourite who has been set for this race. Has been talked up as a certainty over last 12 months but rider is still to win at this level. Should win if handles the pressure.

What Tony Said (W. Truss)  [Coalition stable]

Fading second-stringer from the Coalition stable. Joyce likely to take reins if fails to perform this time.

Balance of Power (C. Milne)  [Australian Greens stable]

Erratic peformer and still very green. Will be popular with punters looking away from the two favourites.

Bringingpeopletogether (C. Palmer)  [Palmer United stable]

Lacks experience and has a lot of weight. Stable is confident of a big performance but would prefer to see.

The Kat in the Hat (B. Katter)  [Katter Australia stable]

Bush champ who never gives up. Could surprise.

Where’s Natasha? (No rider announced)  [Democrats stable]

Despised outsider who is light of other days. Stable will be happy just to make the field.

Hokey Pokie (N. Xenophon)  [Independent stable]

Free running South Australian runner with loyal following. Bound to be prominent at some stage of the race.

Who do you fancy, punters?
