Maximising has run over today's trip and shaped with consistent promise, finishing second in each of his last two starts, though that eighth a run before raises a flag; 58 days off the track and carrying 135 lb from stall one are the key fitness and weight questions now.

Stardancer won two starts back and lines up here just 17 days later in fine trim, with experience of both today's trip and conditions working in his favour; a fourth last time out is the one mild blemish, but at 133 lb from stall 11 he remains of clear interest.

Bubbles Wonky arrives on the back of a win last time out, and his record of three third-place finishes in the four starts prior shows consistent form at this level; the main risk is whether 133 lb proves too stiff a burden off a mark of 77.

Tribal Wisdom has run over today's trip and going before, and a second four starts back gives him a form line to build on as he returns from 152 days off; the concern is that he has been winless in his last six starts, and freshness alone may not be enough.

Bold Impact won two starts back but has since finished seventh, and while he has experience over today's distance and going, a mark of 77 and 133 lb from stall six leave him with plenty to find against stronger company.
