Sahana showed she retains ability with a second two starts back, but fifth last time out and 39 days off temper expectations; she has run over today's trip and our rating has her mid-division of the field, so a midfield finish looks the likeliest outcome.

Mister Mojito has been knocking consistently on the door, finishing second last time out after some more modest efforts, and he returns in good order just 18 days later with distance experience to call on; the risk is he remains winless in recent starts.

Rogue Dynasty has been knocking on the door in recent starts, finishing second last time out and a second three starts back, and she returns on a quick 12-day turnaround with experience over today's trip. Yet to win in her last five starts, but her consistency makes her the one to beat off a mark of 68.

Penfolds Grange shaped with plenty of promise when third two starts back and second on two occasions further back in his recent form, and he has run over today's trip; the concern is that ninth last time out suggests he may need to bounce back sharply.

Winless in his last five starts and returning after 82 days off, Optimatum does have distance experience to call on and rates slightly above his official mark, but two ninth-place finishes in recent outings are hard to ignore, making him a tough sell at this level.
