Comment
Jentobello won last time out and has finished in the first four in each of his last five starts, with 23 days since that win and experience of today's trip and going. Carrying 164 lb is the main risk, and our rating of 110 ranks him fourth of six.

Comment
North of Richmond makes appeal on his earlier efforts, a winner four starts back followed by a third and a fourth, and he has run over today's trip, while our rating ranks him third of six. The main risk is a pulled-up last time out and a 242-day absence, with 168 lb to carry.

Comment
Third last time out and a winner four starts back, Roarin' Success has sound recent form and has run over today's trip and going, but she carries 157 lb off an official mark of 103. Our figures rank her fifth of six, so she looks hard to fancy.

Comment
Fourth last time out and only nine days ago, Max of Stars keeps busy and has run over today's trip and going, while a second three starts back shows she can get close. Yet to win in her last five, and 166 lb is the main risk.

Comment
Without a win in her last five, Hunters Spring is hard to fancy, with a pulled up and an unseated in the last three starts raising doubts over reliability, and she carries 155 lb. On the plus side, she was third last time out and has run over today's trip and going, but our figures rank her sixth of six.

Comment
Our top-rated runner at 122 despite a patchy book, Pyramid Place has run over today's trip and going before and, though officially rated only 106, he tops our ratings by a clear margin. A 121-day break and two pulled-up efforts in his last three runs are the concern, though.
