Tip for this race
All today's tips ›Most Wanted heads our ratings at 90, a useful seven pounds ahead of Applejack Poet on 83, and that gap should tell over this 17 furlongs on good ground at Stratford. Applejack Poet is the chief danger, with Glance At Me on 81 not far behind, while Blackijo Dagrostis on 76 looks to have the most to find in a small field of four. Confidence is low, as a tight, tactical affair could leave room for a surprise, but Most Wanted is the best-rated runner and gets the nod.

Most Wanted has run over today's trip and on this going, and he showed he can win with a victory six starts back, plus a second three starts back and a third five starts back. Quick back-up after five days and a ninth last time are the worry, but our rating of 90 makes him the one to beat off 161 lb.

Glance At Me is a short-turnaround runner, back after nine days, and has run over today's trip and going before, while our rating of 81 ranks her third of four. The big risk is form that reads pulled up, ninth, ninth, pulled up, pulled up, so she is winless in her last five starts.

Consistent type with a third two starts back, and a fourth and another third before that, he has run over today's trip and going and returns after 22 days off; the risk is a sixth last time out and a hefty 155 lb, with no win in his last five.

Applejack Poet bounced back with a third last time out just 22 days ago, and he has run over today's trip and going before, while our rating of 83 ranks him second of four. The risk is a patchy record, with a fall and a pull-up in his last six outings, and he is yet to win in that spell.
