Drops from Class 4, but recent margins have been heavy and his track-distance record is poor. Must lift sharply.

Class drop and a past 1500m win help, but recent beaten margins keep him in the place bracket.

Consistent recent margins and deep 1500m form make him the benchmark. Strong winning case.

Third-up with a leading rider, but two plain runs this campaign leave him with plenty to find.

Quick back-up suits, and his prior third was strong. Claim and jockey record keep him right in play.

Last-start third reads well and the track record is solid. Clear danger if he holds that form.

Lightly raced and gets a 4kg claim, but the form is still thin. Place claims only if he improves.

Unplaced in five starts and now tries 1500m for the first time. Has to improve.

Distant last start is a worry, but his neck second two back and 1500m record give him place claims.

Freshened since a strong third here and has placed three from four at this track and trip. Major player.

Last start was plain, but the win two back and proven 1500m record keep him in the place mix.

Gets weight relief and barrier 1, but recent defeats have been heavy. Others read stronger.

Class drop and track-distance record help, but recent Class 4 runs have been well below winning level.

Recent runs have been well held at long odds, and this is his first try around 1500m. Hard to support.
