Tip for this race
All today's tips ›Arizona Raider No. 8, stall 4
W. J. Lee · Michael Mulvany
✓ Top rated ✓ Distance winner ✓ Won last time out
Arizona Raider heads our ratings on 98, a full five pounds clear of The Scallionator on 93, and that is a worthwhile margin in a 13-runner seven-furlong contest on soft ground. The Scallionator is the chief danger and sits well ahead of everything else, while Seaxburh (83) and Seven Nation Army (82) are the next best on our figures but have a lot to find on the numbers. With the rest of the field rated 80 or below, Arizona Raider looks the one to beat, and he is our selection.

J M Sheridan
Joseph Patrick O'Brien 10/59
Won three starts back and was a second two starts back, so he has a strong enough profile to be a leading danger, and he has run over today's trip and going before after 31 days off. The one concern is an eighth last time out, and our rating of 82 puts him fourth of 13.

Ben Coen
Joseph Patrick O'Brien 10/59
Won last time out and was third on his two starts before that, so the form is solid, but 42 days off the track is a gap, and 133 lb from stall 12 with our rating ranking him eighth of 13 suggests a midfield finish; he has run over today's trip and going.

Nathan Crosse
David Marnane 1/13
Won last time out, 19 days ago, and has run over today's trip, but a fifth and a fourth before that make him hard to fancy off an official 90 and 133 lb from stall 10. Our rating of 71 ranks him tenth of 13.

Shane Foley

Diamonds And Dames won last time out and was fifth and fourth in the two runs before, so she arrives fit after 24 days and has run over today's trip. Carrying 130 lb off an official 85, she looks held by our ninth-of-13 ranking.

Luke McAteer
Jack Foley 0/0
Just One Show was beaten last time out after a fifth two starts back, and a second three starts back is his best recent effort, while a 60-day break and no win in his last 3 starts raise questions. He has run over today's trip and our rating of 80 ranks him fifth of 13, but 129 lb from stall 3 looks a lot to give.

Wesley Joyce
Michael Mulvany 1/14
The Scallionator won two starts back and again six starts back, so he has a winning habit, and he has run over today's trip before. A ninth last time out is the concern, though, and he carries 129 lb from draw 13, while our rating of 93 ranks him second of 13.

Chris Hayes
Joseph Patrick O'Brien 10/59
Seaxburh arrives a last-time-out winner, with a third and two seconds in the three runs before that, and she has run over today's trip before. The one worry is a 51-day break, though she's from draw 11 and our rating ranks her third of 13.

W. J. Lee
Michael Mulvany 1/14
Arizona Raider arrives a last-time-out winner, with a third two starts back, and he has run over today's trip and on this going before. Our top-rated runner (98) is the one to beat from draw 4, though 146 days off is the one small query.

Colin Keane
Michael Mulvany 1/14
Banks Of The Boyne arrives consistent, with a third last time out, another third two starts back, and a winner three starts back, and he has run over today's trip and going before after 19 days off. Carrying 127 lb from draw 7, he's only sixth of 13 on our rating, so he looks more of a place threat than a clear pick.

Seamie Heffernan
J S Bolger 2/6
Yet to win in his last four, Dawnmore has been second, third and second in his latest three outings, but he's back out just three days after his last run and carries 127 lb from draw 9. Our rating of 66 ranks him 12th of 13, so he's hard to fancy, though he has run over today's trip.

W. M. Lordan
Josh Halley 0/5
Revelator is hard to fancy, unplaced last time out and an eighth two starts back, and he is yet to win in his last four outings. A third three starts back is the pick of it, and he has run over today's trip, but our rating of 68 ranks him 11th of 13 off 125 lb.

Silk Twist is winless in his last three, unplaced last time out and a seventh two starts back, so he is hard to fancy; quick back out after six days, he has run over today's trip and going, but our rating ranks him last of thirteen.

Fresh from a second last time out just 12 days ago, he has also been runner-up three starts back and has run over today's trip and going, but he is yet to win in his last five starts. Carrying 125 lb from stall five, our rating of 79 leaves him seventh of 13.
