Caras Silverlady stands head and shoulders above this field on raw ability, with the highest performance average by a significant margin. She's been racing competitively at A8 over 462 metres — two grades above most of these — with a second and a third in recent starts. She has outstanding bend speed which is the crucial attribute over 268 metres, and her early pace should see her lead into the first turn from the rail draw. She's stepping down to D5 sprints for the first time, having no recorded distance form, but her class edge is so pronounced that it should be decisive regardless. Track suitability is the best in the field.
