Comment
Inca won last time out and has run over today's trip, but he's only had that one win in his last five starts, with three fourths and a sixth before it. Carrying 144 lb off an official rating of 80, he looks hard to fancy, as our figures rank him last of twelve.

Comment
Prairie Diamond arrives in fine heart, third last time out and a second two starts back, just 17 days after his latest run, and he has run over today's trip. The main risk is the 168 lb he carries, which leaves him plenty to do on an official mark of 104.

Comment
God of Fire is a leading danger, with a win five starts back and a second three starts back, and he returns fresh after 21 days, having run over today's trip and going before. Our rating of 106 sits second of 12, but two fifths in his last two outings and 162 lb are the main concerns.

Comment
Lunar Orbit was pulled up last time but had finished second two starts back, and he has won once in his last five and has run on today's going before. Trainer is in form at 26% over 14 days, but that pulled-up run 48 days ago is the risk.

Comment
Raffles Nobu is winless in his last six, beaten into seventh last time out and with just a second three starts back and a third five starts back to show, so he is hard to fancy off 153 lb. He is fit after nine days and has run over today's trip and going, but our figures rank him ninth of twelve.

Comment
Estate Planning is winless in his last five, with a fourth last time out the best of a run that includes a fifth two starts back, and 132 days off the track is a concern. Carrying 147 lb off 83, he is hard to fancy, though our rating of 90 is higher than his official figure.

Comment
Charles Morin is winless in his last four, with a sixth last time out, a fourth two starts back and an unseated rider three runs ago, so he is hard to fancy off 142 lb. He is fresh from a 13-day break and has run over today's trip, but our rating of 82 ranks him 11th of 12.

Comment
Lord Cauvelliere is winless in his last five, with a seventh last time out following a pulled up and a run of sixth, fifth and fourth before that, so the trend is moving the wrong way. A quick turnaround after nine days and a 97 rating, sixth of twelve, keep him in the mix, but 144 lb is a lot to carry.

Comment
Miss Kassiopi won two starts back and was second the run before, but she was pulled up last time out and returns after 106 days off; she has run over today's trip, yet 166 lb and a mid-pack figure of 93 leave her a midfield type.

Comment
Chillhi is without a win in his last six and hasn't been seen to best effect lately, but he turned out quickly after a seventh last time out, has run over today's trip and posted a third five starts back. Our rating of 106 makes him the one to beat off an official 86, despite 150 lb.

Comment
King of The Bronx won three starts back, but he has finished sixth in each of his last two and sits seventh of 12 on our rating of 96. Fresh enough after 23 days off, he carries 163 lb off an official mark of 99, which looks a stiff ask.
