Steps down sharply from the 500m trip and hasn't raced since May, so there's a real question over whether the shorter distance and long break suit. Modest recent form gives little to work with.

Placed third last time out and has plenty of course-and-distance experience, though the speed figures are the weakest of the leading contenders. Consistent enough to be in the frame but short of the pace needed to win.

Drawn in the best-performing box at this grade, a genuine plus, but was well beaten last time out at the grade above and the raw speed figures are only moderate. The trap gives her some each-way interest.

Owns the strongest course-and-distance record in the field with three wins and four places from ten runs, showing he clearly goes well at this track and trip regardless of what the general trap data suggests. Fair recent form too. Worth another look given how well he's done here before.
