Comment
Cascade Hall has shown consistent placing ability in recent starts, finishing third three times and second last time out, and he returns quickly on familiar distance and going; the risk is that he remains yet to win in his last six starts.

Winless in his last five starts, Spooky Wooky arrives here 34 days fresh and has run over today's trip, though a fourth last time out and little improvement in recent outings suggest he faces a stiff task from a mark of 59 carrying 132 lb.

Comment
Beaune has shown consistent minor form, finishing third twice in his last six starts, yet he remains winless in that spell and our rating of 60 places him ninth of thirteen, suggesting he faces a stiff ask to break through here despite having experience of today's distance and going.

Comment
Bulldog Spirit steps up as a genuine contender here, boasting strong fitness on just a ten-day turnaround, experience over today's trip and going, and a rating of 67 that suggests he holds more in hand than his official mark implies; the concern is that he remains winless in recent starts.

Winless in his last six starts and ranked tenth of thirteen on our figures, Havachoc offers little encouragement despite a seventh last time out, though he has run over today's going before and three seconds in recent starts shows he can hit the frame on his day.

Comment
Yet to score in her last five starts and carrying a hefty 136 lb with a trainer in a lean spell at just 4% over the past fortnight, Queen Roslyn faces stiff challenges, though she has experience over today's trip and going and a placing two starts back offers some encouragement.

Winless in his last five starts and ranked 12 of 13 on our figures, Corsican Caper is hard to fancy after 90 days off, though a third last time out offers a sliver of encouragement and he has run over today's trip and going before.

Winless in her last five starts, Alibey faces a stiff task from a 103-day absence carrying 142 lb, though a fourth and a third two and three starts back hint at some ability, offset by a disappointing eighth last time out.

Winner two starts back, Free World arrives here on a 28-day freshener and has run over today's trip, giving him a fitness and experience edge; he carries 141 lb on a trainer currently out of form, but his recent winning profile makes him our preferred pick.

Comment
Bollin Neil won twice in his last five starts but has finished second and fifth in more recent outings, suggesting he can be in and out of form; he has run over today's trip and going before, though 132 lb is a stiff burden for a runner rated just 59 officially.
