Runner-up last time out, after a win two starts back and a third three starts back, and has raced over today's distance and going before. A below-par eighth further back is the lone blot, but the recent progressive form makes this our selection.

A winner last time out, with two runner-up efforts either side of a blip in the book, and has raced over today's distance and going before. A below-par sixth two starts back and a 36-day absence since are the checks against progress continuing.

Second in our rankings on 72, with a runner-up five starts back the standout form figure, and she has raced over today's distance and going before. Yet to win in its last five starts, though, with a run of below-par efforts since and a 67-day absence the concerns.

Second-bottom of our rankings on 62 and yet to win in its last five starts, with finishes reading fifth, sixth, fifth, fourth and fourth. On the plus side, has raced over today's distance and going before and returns within a fortnight of his last run.

Bottom of our rankings on 57, though a runner-up finish last time out is easily the pick of the form, with the rest reading fifth, unplaced, fourth, sixth and unplaced. Has raced over today's distance before, but there's plenty to find on these figures.

A winner two starts back and third in our rankings on 72, with today's distance and going both raced over before. The concern is an unplaced run last time out, though a fair 18-day turnaround suggests it's ready to bounce back.

No finish better than fifth in her last five starts, including a below-par eighth four starts back, though she does have experience over today's distance and going. Rated 65 by us, and a 28-day gap since her last run leaves a slight fitness question mark too.
