Consistent without winning recently, placed in most of his last five starts, and notably his recent form includes runs in Open competition — considerably stronger company than today's grade. His trainer's record in these conditions is modest. He races through the middle of the track and sits second on the clock, not far off the fastest in this field. The Open form is the case for thinking there's more in the tank than the grade suggests; the lack of a win in a while is the case against. Could easily reverse the form given the class context, even without a recent success to point to.

Won twice from his last five starts with nothing worse than fourth otherwise, a solid level of form. He races from the rails into the middle of the track and his trainer's record in these conditions is modest, matching his stable-mate in this field. He sits mid-pack on the clock, some way behind the two speed leaders. Has it to do on the ratings, but the underlying form is more competitive than his position suggests.

A win from his last five with a couple of places either side, competing recently in Open company which is notably stronger than today's grade. He's back after over a fortnight off and sticks to the rails from the best-performing trap at this track and grade. His trainer's record in these conditions is modest. He sits toward the back of this field on the clock, though not disastrously so. The rails draw and the drop out of Open company are the case in his favour; the layoff and the modest trainer record temper it. Has it to do on the ratings but the draw gives him a squeak.
