Molto Amichi won two starts back and was placed three starts back, showing he retains the ability to mix it at this level; he has experience of today's trip and conditions, and 24 days off looks a fresh enough return — the main concern is that ninth last time out.

Follow Me has shown consistent placing ability, finishing third in each of his last two starts, and has run over today's distance and going — the main concern is that he remains yet to win in his last five starts, leaving questions over whether he can convert.

Frank Pickle showed he can win, scoring three starts back, but a seventh last time out and eighth two starts back highlight the inconsistency he brings to this contest; experience over today's trip and going helps, though 136 lb from stall 16 is no easy ask.

Spodo Komodo landed a win in his last five starts but has been unplaced in two subsequent runs, and that inconsistency is the concern; he has experience over today's trip and going, and a fitness edge at 28 days fresh, though 135 lb is no gimme.

Zaraahmando (SR:79, 9/2) is the strongest market mover in the field with a 22% market shortening — the most significant steaming of any runner — which carries real informational weight in a 16-runner handicap like this. Carrying 9-6, a favourable weight compared to top-weight Sonoran's 10-3, and with a GoingFit:~ on good ground, the yard has clearly targeted this race. The form string 623324 shows consistent placing without winning recently, which is exactly the profile of a horse running off a workable mark (MarkMv:+4, not punitive) that the market is backing to finally convert. Trainer A. Slattery at 11% strike rate with jockey Andrew Slattery (9%, 915 runners) is a tight connections combo, and the tongue-tie first application (HG:t) adds a legitimate physical improvement angle that often accompanies market support of this magnitude.
Each-way alternative: Motta Alta.
Main danger: Motta Alta — Motta Alta (SR:83, 9/2) is the highest-rated horse in the field under Mrs J. Harrington (10%, 1576 runners) with Shane Foley aboard (11%, 1738 runners), and despite the drift (Mkt:out13%), the raw SR advantage of 4 points over Zaraahmando carried on a light 9-6 makes it the most credible form threat if the drift is simply positional rather than a genuine negative signal.
