SIMPLY STEFFI gets a class reprieve third-up and can make it count after two runs that had excuses. SHARING MOMENTS is better placed after leading in a race favouring closers, and brings proven course-and-distance form. LES BRAVES arrives off a determined win and can handle the tougher assignment. NORDIC STRIKE keeps finding the frame and has each-way claims again.

Barrier 13 · N Punch · 58kg · On pace
Has won at this course and trip and arrives with a trial win.
Barrier 5 · B Mertens · 61kg · Leader
Early speed can put him in the race, but a placing looks the better hope.
Barrier 7 · L Neindorf · 56.5kg · Gets back
Can improve second-up and has course-winning form, but needs a better start.
Barrier 1 · B Rawiller · 59.5kg · Midfield
Reliable recent efforts and weight relief help, but another placing looks most likely.
Barrier 10 · D Stackhouse · 57kg · On pace
A trial win helps fresh, but he is difficult to assess confidently.
Barrier 2 · B Kinninmont · 58.5kg · Leader
A gutsy maiden win is encouraging, but this grade is a tougher test.
Barrier 4 · J Maskiell · 60kg · Leader
Recent runs have been plain, though she may improve second-up with blinkers.
Barrier 8 · C Hefel · 55kg · Midfield
Keen going and a rise in grade leave him with limited appeal.
