Comment
Donnie Azoff arrives in fine nick, with a second last time out, another second two starts back and a win three starts back, and he has run over today's trip and going before. The one concern is a 47-day break, with 166 lb on his back.

Comment
Pulled up last time out, Sixty Plus has been a sixth, a ninth and another sixth before that, with his win now five starts back, though he has run over today's trip and returns after 26 days. Carrying 163 lb off an official mark of 115, he looks a midfield sort, and our rating of 111 ranks him sixth of eight.

Comment
Devon Red is winless in his last six, though he was fourth last time out and a second three starts back, and he has run over today's trip and going. Carrying 144 lb and ranked last of eight on our figures, he is hard to fancy despite being fresh from a run ten days ago.

Comment
Krak has been consistent, finishing second last time out and second again two starts back, with a third three starts back, though he is yet to win in his last five starts. He has run over today's trip and going, and a 35-day break should leave him fresh despite 168 lb.

Comment
Third last time out after a run of sixth, fifth and eighth finishes, Jaramillo has run over today's trip and going and is rated 118 by us, third best of eight, so he looks a leading threat off an official 113. The main risk is carrying 161 lb while still yet to win in his last five starts.

Comment
Hard to fancy after a sixth last time out, with a sixth and a fourth either side of his win two starts back, and he carries 150 lb here. In his favour, he has run over today's trip and going before and is fit enough after 25 days off, but our figures rank him seventh of eight.

Comment
Department of War tops our ratings at 122 against an official mark of 100, and a third four starts back shows he has ability, but he is without a win in his last five and returns after 764 days off, which is the main risk under 148 lb.

Comment
Whinney Hill was unplaced last time out and a fifth two starts back, with two pulled-up efforts before that, so he is yet to win in his last five. Back out after 18 days and carrying 160 lb off 112, he sits fifth of eight on our rating of 113.
