Tip
Defence Missile
Verdict
Defence Missile has yet to show much recent form, finishing fifth last time out after a run of finishes no better than sixth, but he still holds the highest rating in this modest field at 58. It is a marginal, low-confidence pick more than a strong vouch on form. Copper And Five, Inspiring Speeches and Elettaria are all rated close enough on our figures to have live claims and could easily reverse placings on the day. Defence Missile is our selection, but this looks a genuinely open race on the book.

Eighth last time out but was runner-up four and five starts back, more encouraging placed form before that. Ran only four days ago and has run over today's trip and going before, with a rating of 55 keeping him among the dangers here.

Fifth last time out in a run of modest form, but holds a narrow rating edge over these rivals at 58. Has run over today's trip and going before, giving him the clearest claims of a moderate field despite unexceptional recent finishes.

Fourth last time out having been third two starts back, a reasonably solid recent sequence without a win in six starts this campaign. Has run over today's trip and going before, and a rating of 51 keeps her in the frame among these dangers.

Fourth last time out and third two starts back, form that puts him among the more consistent without a win in five starts. Has run over today's trip and going before, and a rating of 54 gives him solid claims among the dangers here.

Ninth last time out and yet to win in six starts, though there was a runner-up effort three starts back. Ran only six days ago and has run over today's trip and going before, but the bottom rating of 41 leaves plenty to find.

Seventh last time out, a modest recent run though he was runner-up six starts back and has been competitive at times without a win. Has run over today's trip and going before, and a rating of 51 leaves him a fair, if unspectacular, midfield chance.

Fourth last time out but otherwise well beaten, without a win in four starts and rated only 42, second-bottom of this field. Has run over today's trip and going before, but there is little in her recent form to inspire confidence.
