Affection arrives here as the top-rated runner in the field, placed last time out and a winner two starts back, with experience over today's trip adding to her claims from stall 3 carrying 133 lb — the main query is whether 37 days off the track has left her short of peak sharpness.

Sassicaia showed a third two starts back and was a winner four starts back, so he clearly knows how to hit the frame; he has run over today's trip and going, returns after 26 days, and our figures suggest he holds plenty of untapped potential from stall 5 off 131 lb.

Bee Farmer shaped with promise when second three starts back and arrives here 20 days fresh, with experience on today's going and a handy draw two in his favour — yet to score in recent starts, and a trainer firing at just 4% is the concern.

Supplicate has winning form in her last three starts, but our figures rank her bottom of this field and a lengthy 69-day absence adds to the query marks; the distance and going experience at least means conditions shouldn't inconvenience her.
