A balanced, all-round runner who neither leads nor holds back dramatically, which can be a useful trait in a truly run race but rarely wins on its own. Trap 3 has been one of the weakest boxes in this grade, and his suitability figures for both track and distance are essentially blank, suggesting no real proven affinity here. Trainer J Campbell has a modest 8% strike rate. Others have stronger cases.

A complete unknown with no competitive form recorded anywhere on file. Trainer K R Hutton also has Jazzy Duke in this race, and the pairing suggests a considered decision to run both, but there's nothing concrete to assess her chances on. Trap 4 has actually performed well in this grade at 22.1%, which offers some hope if she has any ability at all, but this remains a shot in the dark.

Steps up from 460 metres to this longer 500 metre trip, and her distance suitability figure of zero flags this as a genuine unknown rather than a proven strength. That said, she does carry the best first-bend rating in the field on paper and is trained by H J Dimmock, who has the best strike rate of any handler in this race at 28%. A fader who goes fast and early, she could be prominent for a long way before the extra furlong potentially catches her out.

Steps up sharply from A3 grade, several rungs below this Open-class field, and her recorded times here are far off the pace of the rest of this race - easily the slowest in the field on the clock. A closer who does her best work late, but the scale of the class rise makes it hard to see her competing with this calibre of dog. Trap 6 has also been a weak box in this grade. Makes up the numbers on what she's shown so far.
