Balmacara shaped with promise when third four starts back, and he has experience over today's trip and going to call on, but he arrives winless in his last five starts and a 63-day absence from stall three off 131 lb makes this a stern test.

Winless in his last five starts but Dancing Gemini's rating of 123 marks him as the one to beat here, and a return after 42 days off, experience over today's trip and going, and a weight of 131 lb from stall seven all set the stage for a bold bid.

Persica steps out just 14 days after a winning effort two starts back, and his third last time out shows he retains form, with experience over today's trip and 118 on our figures marking him a clear threat; the concern is whether 131 lb from stall one ultimately stretches him.

Winless in his last five starts, Jer Batt does boast back-to-back thirds three and four starts back, yet a fifth last time out and the burden of 121 lb from stall 10 are the checks on his chance, even if he has run over today's trip and going before and our rating of 93 suggests he merits respect.
AI verdict
SR 95 is competitive — each-way claims if conditions suit on the day.

Second last time out and winless in his last five starts, Brian nonetheless holds our top rating among the 12 runners and arrives with distance and going experience to call on; the 86-day absence is the one query, but 140 lb from stall 2 sees him open to respect.

SR 82 suggests ability but 13/2 reflects a stiff ask in this field.

Winless in his last five starts, Star Anthem at least has experience of today's trip and going to call on, and 28 days between runs suggests he arrives fresh; the worry is that his recent form has been largely disappointing, making a step forward essential from stall one off 139 lb.
