Verdict
Independent Expert heads this competitive Class 4 6f at Windsor on a rating of 88, four pounds clear of Buccabay in second on our figures. An Outlaw's Grace and Amazonian Dream both sit tightly bunched on 82 and cannot be dismissed, with the whole field closely matched from there. Independent Expert is our selection, though only a low level of confidence given how narrow the gaps are throughout this eight-runner line-up.

Seventh last time out, though a third two starts back, and runner-up three starts back, this gelding has raced over today's trip and going before but returns from a lengthy 122-day absence. Second only to the selection on our figures, he's a leading danger if fresh enough.

Fifth last time out, but a third two starts back, this gelding has been frequently competitive without landing a win in his last six starts. Quick to reappear just seven days later, he has raced over today's trip and going before and rates among the leading dangers on our figures.

Sixth last time out, this mare's recent finishing positions have been modest, though she won six starts back and has raced over today's trip and going before. Top-rated in this eight-runner field on our figures, she remains the one to beat if she can rediscover that level.

A winner last time out, and a third two starts back, this gelding boasts admirably consistent form with places and wins throughout his last six starts. Bottom of our rankings for this race despite that profile, he'll need to improve to trouble this field.

Eighth last time out, and seventh two starts back, this gelding's form has faded since a winner five starts back. He has raced over today's trip and going before and sits mid-table on our figures, needing to reverse the recent slide.

Seventh last time out, and sixth two starts back, this gelding's best recent effort was a fourth, still without a win in his last six starts. He has raced over today's trip and going before but sits down our rankings in this eight-runner field.

Sixth last time out, this gelding's form reads better further back, with a runner-up two starts back and a winner three starts back. He has raced over today's trip and going before and sits around midfield on our figures in this eight-runner field.
