Cobra Queen bounced back to form with a third last time out after a couple of disappointing efforts, and she has experience over today's trip and going. Carrying 166 lb is a notable ask, but as the top-rated runner she appeals most.

Samba Train won two of her last five starts, with a victory two runs back highlighting her strong claims here, and she has experience of today's distance and going — the only question mark is that unseating last time out.

Twice a runner-up in recent starts and third two starts back, Billie Frechette arrives fit on just 11 days' rest, has run over today's trip and going, and our rating of 122 marks her out as a genuine danger at the weights — though she remains winless and will need to convert that consistent placing form into a win.

Theflyingbee has been consistently placed, finishing second last time out and third in each of the two starts before that, and she has experience of today's trip and conditions — our rating of 126 marks her as a serious threat. The concern is 87 days off the track.
