Steps up from B4 over a shorter trip and drops in significantly, but the early signs aren't encouraging — she's the slowest recorded dog in this field by a clear margin and her stamina profile shows a fast starter who fades hard late, which is a tough combination over a full 500 metres. Worth noting the probability model gives her less than a one-in-ten chance here, effectively flagging her as one to leave alone rather than back.

Won last time out at A8 level and has been a picture of consistency in her pace figures, though this is a step up in company. Fast away but tends to lose ground in the closing stages, and her trainer's record in these conditions is on the modest side. Respected without being able to match the top two on the clock.

Placed third last time out and races as a balanced all-rounder who can sit close to the pace throughout — the type who benefits if the front-runners go too hard too early. Her trainer has a fair record in these conditions and she's not far off the pace on the clock either. A each-way sort rather than a banker.

Actually owns the fastest recorded time of anyone in this field, but his last run was well over a second slower than that best effort, so the true current form looks closer to his average than his peak. Drawn in one of the two best boxes in this grade, which helps his cause, and he's a balanced runner who doesn't rely purely on early speed. The gap between his best and his last suggests he's not quite firing at the minute.
