Al Riffa leads the way on our figures and owns the best speed figure in this race, and has run over today's trip and going before. Yet to win in his last five starts, a third two starts back marks him out as capable, and that edge makes him the one to beat.

A close second four starts back is the highlight of Dallas Star's recent efforts, though a below-form seventh last time out is a concern. He has run over today's trip and going before, and yet to win in his last six starts, he rates fairly enough for minor honours.

Green Impact was a winner five starts back and carries a strong speed figure into this, sitting fourth on our ratings. Three fourths have followed that, and a 56-day absence is the obvious question mark now.

Happy Pharoah was runner-up last time out, and a winner four starts back, form that hints at ability, but he is second-bottom of our figures here with a modest speed reading. He has run over today's distance before, though a 65-day absence since his last run is another concern.

Winner last time out, Illinois backs that up with the second-best figure and a strong speed reading, and he has run over today's trip and going before. A seventh four starts back is the one blemish in an otherwise progressive picture.
