Comment
Wecouldavehaditall comes in fresh enough after 22 days, with a third two starts back showing she can get involved, and she has run over today's trip; our 81 ranks her third of seven. The risk is a winless run in her last five, with a sixth last time out.

Comment
Miss Cornelia has been unplaced last time out, then a seventh two starts back and a sixth three starts back, and she returns after 58 days, but she has run over today's trip and our rating of 88 puts her top of the seven. Off an official 67 from draw 3, she looks the one to beat despite being winless in recent starts.

Comment
Melchizedek arrives fresh enough after 19 days off, having finished fifth last time out, and he has run over today's trip, while our rating of 71 ranks him fourth of seven. The main risk is that he is winless in his last three starts, with two unplaced efforts before that fifth.

Comment
Winless in his last five, Silk Twist was eighth last time out just eight days ago and has been unplaced or beaten in every recent run, though he has run over today's trip and going before. Our rating of 67 sits well above his official 56, but he ranks only fifth of seven on our figures.

Comment
Darlene is winless in her last three, with a sixth last time out, another sixth two starts back and an unplaced effort before that, so she is hard to fancy. She has run over today's trip and is fresh enough after 23 days, but she is rated seventh of seven on our figures.

Comment
Gabby Hayes comes here fresh from a run just 11 days ago, with a third two starts back and experience of today's trip and going, while our rating of 82 ranks him second of seven. The main risk is that he's yet to win in his last five starts and was unplaced last time out.

Comment
Knockraha Pa is winless in his last three, unplaced each time, and returns after 20 days with little to suggest a turnaround. He has run over today's trip and our rating of 65 is only a shade above his official 63, but sixth of seven is hard to ignore.
