Beaten by Nine Esquire last start, but his track-and-distance record is exceptional and barrier one gives him a strong platform to hit back.

Closed off from an impossible spot last start, but recent form is thin and his 1400m record keeps him more a place hope.

Returns off a freshening after a tough first-up win and owns the right track-and-trip record. Brings the strongest winning case.

Recent efforts were below his best, but his overall strike rate and jockey record leave him with a place chance if he lifts.

Back from a break after a plain end to last campaign. Has placed at the trip, but must find more to trouble these.

Track-and-trip winner, but two recent defeats by more than 10 lengths make him hard to support with confidence.

Better judged on the close fifth behind Little Bighorn two back. Recent win edge is missing, but a placing is within reach.

Resumes after a long break with honest old form at this venue, but the gap between runs makes her a cautious place-at-best hope.

Last-start margin was heavy and the 12-month record is poor. Others bring much stronger recent credentials.

Freshened after being beaten out of sight first-up. Prior form was better, but he has plenty to repair.

Latest fourth had merit from well back at big odds. Winning looks harder, but he is one for exotics.

Resumes with useful track-and-trip figures and fair B1 form last campaign. Place claims if ready to go fresh.

Won a B1 over Omasa last start and is unbeaten at this track and distance. Outstanding strike rate makes him a major danger.

Two recent appearances have both produced wins at this venue. Excellent 1400m record makes him one of the key winning hopes.

Recent efforts have been safely held and his track-and-trip record is poor. Hard to make a strong case.

Back to a more suitable trip, but the last two runs were heavy defeats. A sharp turnaround is required.
