My Girl Katie arrives on the back of back-to-back wins and has run over today's trip and going, with the quick five-day turnaround the only query; three wins in her last five starts paint a picture of a mare in sharp form and worth siding with at the weights carrying 162 lb.

Final Entry won two starts back and has experience of today's distance and going, making him a genuine threat at the head of the weights on 168 lb; the 42-day absence is the one factor to weigh against him.

Comment
Touchwoodexpress boasts experience over today's trip and going, and his win in his last five starts shows he can find the winner's enclosure, with our rating of 91 giving him solid claims; the main risk is 57 days off the track since his last outing.

Man Oh Man has been out of sorts of late, finishing eighth last time out and seventh two starts back, and is winless in his last five starts; a rating of 78 ranked sixth of seven makes him hard to fancy, though he has experience of today's going and a second three starts back offers a crumb of hope.

Winless in his last five starts and ranked last on our figures, Alberts Bay faces a stiff ask here carrying 153 lb off a 92-day absence, though he has run over today's going before and that third two starts back offers a crumb of encouragement.

Comment
Winless in her last five starts, Blue Siam does at least bring going experience and a placed effort three runs back to the table, but a return just four days ago and a sizeable 145 lb burden make progress hard to envisage here.
