Beauzon strung together five wins in a row before a below-par run last time out, and has had 117 days since to recover. Despite that sequence, he anchors our figures at the bottom of this field, though he does have form over today's trip and ground, carrying 137lb from stall 3.

The Flying Seagull ran into a solid third last time out, placing him among the leading threats on our figures despite remaining winless in his last five starts. An unplaced effort two starts back is the blot, but he has form over today's trip and ground and carries 135lb from stall 12.

Alfa Duplicate won three of her last six starts and rates second on our figures, marking her a leading threat, though her last two runs have dipped below that level. Her trainer is out of form at 0% over the last fortnight, the obvious concern, but she does have form over today's trip and ground.

Arlo's Girl has struggled of late, without a top-four finish in her last three starts, and she sits near the bottom of this field on our figures. She did land a race some way back and has form over today's trip and ground, carrying 130lb from stall 10, but needs a big reversal of recent form.

Frequently placed without landing the prize, with three runner-up efforts in his last five starts, the latest of them last time out. A 102-day layoff is the obvious concern, though he's raced over today's trip before, and drawn 10, looks no better than a minor player in this company.

A modest recent record, without a placing better than fourth in his last five starts, including two below-par efforts further back in that sequence. Fit enough 29 days on and with today's trip previously covered, drawn 9, he's more workmanlike than incisive on these figures.

Yet to threaten the frame in this sequence, with nothing better than a fifth in his last five starts and two unplaced efforts among them. Quick enough back within 16 days and having raced over today's trip before, drawn 7 he needs more than a step forward to feature.

Our figures place him above his recent form, which reads modestly with nothing better than fifth in his last five starts. Fresh from a 42-day break and with today's trip covered before, drawn 6, the scope in his figures makes him a leading threat despite that form.

Prop the field on official and our figures alike, last of ten, with modest placings including two unplaced efforts in his last six starts. A strong speed figure is the one plus, and though fit on a swift 9-day turnaround, he's hard to fancy from draw 1.

Calyxoh's formline is modest, with several rear-of-field efforts and no win in his last five starts, yet he rates far higher on our figures than that suggests. Quick to run again seven days on and proven over today's trip and ground, finding that level remains the obvious risk.

Cotai Lights has been unplaced in his last two starts and remains without a win in his last six, but he owns one of the sharpest speed figures here and returns quickly just five days on. Proven over today's trip and ground, he carries 128lb from stall 8, with rediscovering his placed form the target.

SR 66 suggests ability but 18/1 reflects a stiff ask in this field.

Kody B landed a race three starts back but has been below par since, and he rates near the bottom of this field on our figures. He does have form over today's trip and ground, but a 55-day absence adds to the task from stall 5.
