Zyn Strong Stride Handicap Stakes

Drifts Away is the one to beat here, winning last time out and returning in sharp order just eight days on. He has run over today's trip and going before, and his rating of 78 heads the field — though that seventh two starts back merits a watch.

Rising Force brings winning form in recent starts — a winner four starts back and again six starts back — and he has experience over today's trip and going, returning on a fresh 21-day break from stall 2 carrying 141 lb; the worry is three moderate efforts since that last victory.

Twice placed in her last four starts, Born A Rebel returns on a sharp 14-day turnaround with experience of today's distance and going in her favour, and our rating of 71 marks her out as a genuine threat from stall 5 — the risk is that she remains winless in recent starts.

Mertoun won two of his last five starts, including back-to-back victories, and has experience of today's trip and going, but our figures rank him last of seven in this field, making him hard to fancy at the weights.

Winless in his last five starts, Currumbin at least showed up with a third three starts back, though unplaced efforts either side temper confidence; he has run over today's trip and going, carries 133 lb from stall six, and a fourth last time out keeps him in the mix without screaming improvement.
