Winless in his last five starts, Yanifer nonetheless tops our ratings, if only narrowly, and having run over today's trip and conditions before, he arrives fit on a 14-day turnaround carrying 140 lb from stall four — the fourth placing two starts back is his best recent showing.

Metal Merchant shaped with some promise when fourth two starts back, and with experience over today's trip and going he retains claims at a mark of 82 — though he is winless in his last five starts and that ninth last time out is hard to ignore.

Winless in his last six starts, Final Night has been runner-up three times in recent form without converting, and ranked tenth of twelve on our figures he faces a stiff ask here; he has run over today's trip before and 24 days between runs suggests he arrives fresh.

Military Leader won last time out and has run over today's trip and going, giving him solid claims, but carrying 137 lb from stall 8 and ranked fifth of twelve in the field suggests he faces a stiff enough task to justify a midfield projection.

Caim shaped with plenty of promise when finishing second three starts back and a winner four starts back, and she returns here on a quick 16-day turnaround with experience over today's trip; the 137 lb burden is the chief concern.
