The fastest best time in the race at 16.26, and her recent form in better company reads well — second in an invitation race last time and a 78-rated effort in open class before that. The problem is her record here: no wins in nine course-and-distance attempts, and she is slow into stride, relying on a late rattle over a trip that rarely allows one. Drawn in trap 2, one of the better boxes, which helps, but another minor placing looks her most likely outcome.

Well beaten in her last two at this grade, finishing fifth and sixth, and recent ratings in the high 20s put her at the bottom end of this field. One win from ten course-and-distance runs and all her recent racing has been at this level, so the form is honest — just not good enough at present. Drawn in trap 3, statistically the worst inside box at this grade. Hard to make a winning case.

Won at D3 two runs back and has placed in four of ten course-and-distance starts, so she is capable of running into the frame at this level. Her form is all from graded racing at these lower sprint grades, which makes her a known quantity. Times have been modest lately though — her last run was over two lengths shy of her best — and she needs a step forward to trouble the principals from a middle-wide draw.
