Comment
Winless in his last five starts, Grand Pier nonetheless catches the eye as the top-rated runner in this field, and he has run over today's trip and going before; second last time out is the most compelling angle here, though 71 days off will need to be overcome.

Comment
Winless in his last five starts, Brave Leader at least has experience of today's trip and going to call on, and 31 days between runs suggests he returns fresh; carrying 133 lb from stall eight, however, he faces a stiff task to improve on a sequence of mid-to-rear finishes.

Fast Steps shaped with promise when runner-up three starts back and placed again four starts back, and our rating of 71 marks him out as a serious threat to the top-rated runner here; the worry is that he has been winless in his last five starts and dropped to fourth last time out.

Placed second last time out and a winner two starts back, Takeitorleaveit arrives 31 days fresh with experience over today's trip, though he carries 135 lb from stall 3 and his speed rating of 55 leaves him with something to prove against stronger company.

Winless in her last five starts, Symphony's Song has been placed twice recently but ranks eighth of nine on our figures, making her hard to fancy despite the experience over today's trip and going, and a return after just 18 days.

Revich has shown consistent placing ability in recent starts, finishing third twice and fourth twice in his last six, and he has experience of today's trip and conditions — our rating of 71 suggests he merits plenty of respect at the weights. The concern is that he arrives 41 days fresh and remains winless in recent starts.

Comment
Placed third last time out and showing a bit more spark than his previous efforts, The Anthony Gover has experience over today's trip and going, and at 131 lb from stall 5 he arrives fit on a 16-day turnaround with our rating suggesting he holds more ability than his official mark of 61 implies; the chief concern is his tendency to find a few too many rivals too strong.

Winless in her last three starts and ranked bottom of the field on our figures, Hotel California faces a stiff ask here; she has run over today's trip before and 31 days between runs suggests she arrives fresh, but a burden of 130 lb makes life harder still.
