Won last time out at A2 with an 89-rated performance and now steps up into this A1, backed by the best trainer strike rate in the field at 34 percent. Course and distance form is solid at one win and four places from seven runs, and recent form has barely dipped below the mid-70s (89, 76, 76, 53, 76, 78). A fader who's fast early but tends to lose ground late, which could see her prominent early before the closers get to her.

Drawn in trap 2, the strongest box in this A1 sample at nearly 24 percent, and backs it up with a genuinely strong course and distance record — three wins and three places from ten runs at this exact track and trip. Recent form has been racing at A1 and OR3 level, tougher company than most of this field has faced, and while last time out was modest at 62, a big 92 two runs back shows the ceiling is there. A consistent closer who does his best work late.

Won last time out at A2 with an 86-rated performance and now faces a step up into this A1. Her course and distance sample is tiny at just two runs, both of which produced a win or a place, but that's too little to draw firm conclusions from. She's the slowest of the group on the clock and a fader who's fast away but fades late — an inconsistent pace pattern adds to the uncertainty. An interesting outsider on the strength of her recent win, but hard to fully trust on the bigger picture.
