Well beaten in sixth last time out, well below the level of her form of eighty-six and eighty-three a few runs back, so there's clear ability there when she's on song. She's fast early but tends to lose ground late, and ten course and distance runs have brought four wins and five places - a decent record. Trap 2 is the weakest box in the field at this grade, though, and that last run needs explaining before fully trusting her again tonight.

Hasn't raced since mid-May, so there's a big layoff to factor in, and her last run was well beaten in sixth. When fresh she's shown big numbers, with an eighty-eight and eighty-three a few runs back, and she owns the fastest raw time in the field, but her pace pattern is rated inconsistent and she tends to fade once the sustained pace bites. Five course and distance runs have brought three wins and three places, a strong return when she's right, but the lay-off is the concern tonight.

Second last time out but that was over the minimum trip at 261 metres, a significant step down from tonight's 450m, so this represents a big jump in distance for him. He's the slowest in this field on the clock and his recent grade history has mostly been at sprint distances, with only two runs at this exact course and distance for two places and no wins. A tricky trip test against experienced middle-distance types.

Fourth last time out but that followed a run of eighty-four, eighty-one and eighty a few runs earlier, showing real ability when things click. He can race handy or come from off the pace depending on how it unfolds, and ten course and distance runs have brought four wins and four places. His trainer's yard is running at a 30 percent win rate recently, one of the stronger figures on this card, which suggests he's here with a proper chance. Worth including in wider vision.
