Comment
Consistent recent form makes Freedom Bay an appealing pick here — third two starts back and a winner three starts back, she arrives on a sound 24-day break with experience of today's trip and conditions, and her overall profile justifies the confidence from stall ten carrying 135 lb.

Comment
Pride Eye won one from six in recent starts and returns just nine days on, which keeps fitness ticking over, though consistency has been elusive with three top-five finishes offset by lesser efforts; she has run over today's trip and going before and carries 135 lb from stall 11.

Comment
Taskheer shaped with promise when third and second in recent starts, and has experience of today's distance and going, while our rating of 52 puts him right in contention; the main risk is a 72-day absence and winless recent form.

Comment
Ernie McCrew has been a model of consistency in recent starts, finishing second last time out after a string of placed and competitive efforts, and he has experience on today's going — the main concern is that he remains yet to win in his last six starts.

Comment
Sharma d'Amour was a solid second two starts back but has since slipped to a well-beaten ninth last time out, and 110 days off the track is a notable concern; she has run over today's trip and going, yet remains winless in recent starts.

Comment
Winless in her last five starts, with a sixth, sixth, eighth and seventh preceding a runner-up effort last time, Lady Aiyana faces a stiff task from the bottom of the rankings, though she has run over today's distance and going before and a return to form last time out offers slim encouragement.

Comment
Versatile refused on his latest start just seven days ago, which raises a significant question mark, and he has been winless in recent starts; experience over today's trip and going offers some encouragement, but the consistency of mid-to-rear finishes beforehand makes him hard to trust.

Comment
Winless in his last five starts, Kev has run over today's going before and comes here fresh enough on a 15-day break, but a fifth last time out represents his best recent effort and an official rating of 48 leaves him with plenty to find against stronger rivals.

Kaaress franked her recent form with a win six starts back and has experience of today's trip and going, while our rating ranks her clear of this field; the risk is a string of disappointing efforts in her last five starts.

Comment
Winless in her last five starts and ranked 12 of 13 on our figures, Maryland Star makes little appeal here; she has run over today's trip and going before, and 24 days between runs leaves her reasonably fresh, but that is about as far as the case for her goes.

Comment
Winless in his last five starts, Iftikhaar does at least bring distance and going experience to the table, and his second four starts back offers a crumb of encouragement, though a 124-day absence and an unplaced latest run are clear negatives heading into this.

Winless in his last five starts and ranked 11th of 13 on our figures, Sunset In Paris is hard to fancy despite having run over today's trip and going before; the 50-day absence adds another question mark for a gelding whose recent efforts have been going the wrong way.

Winless in his last five starts and ranked last on our figures, Senseofentitlement has been consistently out of the frame, with finishes no better than fifth in recent starts; 100 days off the track adds to the concern, though he has run over today's distance and going before.
