Won last time out but that was a grade lower at A7, so this is a step up in company. She's a very consistent, balanced runner but her pace figures are some way behind the two leading contenders. A place chance rather than a winning one on this evidence.

Finished last last time out and is the slowest recorded dog in this field on recent evidence. The one thing worth flagging is her trainer, who has an extraordinary record in these conditions — better than one in two winners from a reasonable sample. That gap between the trainer's overall record and this individual dog's recent form is striking, so she's more one to watch in the market than to fully back on the page.

Finished fourth last time out at the grade above, so there's no disgrace in the runline even if it doesn't leap off the page. She's a closer who does her best work late but her recorded times are towards the back of this field. Others have the stronger claims tonight.

Won last time out but that was over a much shorter 270m sprint, so this is a significant step up in trip as well as a change in running requirements. He's fast early but tends to fade late, which is a tougher combination to manage over the full 500 metres. An interesting swing but unproven at this distance recently.
