Comment
Ghisa has been a model of consistency, finishing third in each of her last three starts, and with experience over today's trip and a lively rating of 82 topping this field of 14, she shapes as a genuine threat from stall 2; the risk is that she remains winless in recent starts and must convert that placed form at last.

Comment
Won last time out and has run over today's trip and going, but the trainer is badly out of form at just 1 from 26 in the past fortnight, and 135 lb is a stiff burden; our rating of 79 suggests ability, though she faces a competitive field from stall nine.

Comment
Ranked 12 of 14 on our figures, Emery Down faces a stiff ask against this field, and her record of one win in her last six starts does little to inspire confidence, though that last-time-out victory at least brings her here in form and fit after just 13 days.

Comment
Hilltop shaped with promise when placed third last time out, and a winner five starts back, giving her a solid recent profile; she has run over today's trip and going, and our rating of 79 makes her a clear danger, though the 138 lb burden is the one factor to overcome.

Comment
Diamont Katie has been placed twice in her last three starts, including second last time out, and has run over today's trip, but she remains yet to win in recent starts and her draw is stall seven carrying 137 lb — a notable burden. A trainer firing at 31% keeps connections hopeful.

Rogue Citation won two starts back and was third three starts back, giving her a lively recent profile, though a fourth last time out tempers enthusiasm; she has run over today's trip and returns on a handy 21-day break carrying 134 lb from stall four.

Comment
Winless in her last four starts and ranked near the foot of the field on our figures, Imelda also arrives with her trainer yet to saddle a winner in the last 14 days and 63 days between runs adding further doubt, though she has run over today's trip and draws stall one.

Ratings & Stats
Comment
Winless in her last four starts, with a sequence of fourth, fourth and fifth alongside a single third, Moonlight Melody faces a stiff task from stall 11 carrying 128 lb, and a trainer striking at just 5% over the past fortnight does little to encourage confidence, however she has run over today's trip and returns after a respectable 16-day break.

Comment
Back-to-back wins give So Sassy a live chance, and she has run over today's trip before, but a speed rating of 69 and a ranking of ninth of fourteen suggest she may need to find more to dominate from stall six off 138 lb.

Comment
Winless in her last five starts, Kindest Nation does at least bring distance and going experience to the table, and her third two starts back offers a flicker of encouragement, though the burden of 135 lb from stall 10 may test her further.

Comment
Rated 80 and ranked second of 14 runners, Mollie Foster brings strong theoretical credentials to this contest and has experience over today's trip and going, but the main risk is a run of five consecutive sixth-place finishes that leaves her yet to win in recent starts.

Comment
Won last time out and has run over today's trip and going, giving her obvious claims, but a trainer who has sent out just one winner from 36 runners in the past fortnight is a significant concern, and carrying 131 lb from stall three adds further questions at a midfield rating of 72.

Ranked 11 of 14 on our figures, Sugar Sugar is hard to fancy at these weights, though she returns in good order after just eight days and showed a second last time out, with a win three starts back offering some encouragement, and she has run over today's trip and going before.
