Tip for this race
All today's tips ›Littlepacer is our selection at Gowran Park, and the case rests on a progressive profile and a fitness edge that should count on soft ground over seven furlongs. Winnie's Wish tops our ratings, six pounds better on paper, so he is the chief danger, but we prefer the sharper, improving profile of Littlepacer. Cudawudashuda is only a pound behind our pick and must be respected, while Magna Fortuna completes the list of dangers in a wide-open twelve-runner field. Littlepacer gets the vote.

Cudawudashuda bounces in off a second last time out, a clear step up on a fourth and a seventh before it, and he has run over today's trip, so a 28-day gap looks well judged. Our rating of 65 sits above his official 59, but he is yet to win in his last four starts.

Silk Twist is winless in his last four, finishing ninth last time out, and he's back quickly after just eight days; he has run over today's trip and going, but 137 lb off a mark of 59 looks a stiff ask. Our rating of 58 puts him sixth of twelve, solid midfield, from stall two.

Outside Sun is winless in her last three, unplaced each time, though she is race-fit after just eight days off and has run over today's trip and going before. Our rating of 54 puts her eighth of 12, and 135 lb from stall 10 looks a lot to carry.

Winnie's Wish tops our ratings at 72 and has run over today's trip and going, with a 57 official mark leaving scope to outrun it, yet he is winless in his last four, finishing sixth last time out, and returns after 81 days off.

Stormy Dawn is yet to win in her last four starts but showed signs of improvement with a third last time out, after a sixth two starts back, and she has run over today's trip. Carrying 134 lb from stall three, she looks a mid-pack type, with our rating of 56 ranking her seventh of twelve.

How Now is winless in his last three, unplaced last time out and a sixth two starts back, so he is hard to fancy from the bottom of the ratings at 131 lb off a mark of 53. He has run over today's trip and is fresh from a 12-day break, but our figures rank him last of twelve.

Littlepacer is our pick on overall profile: she was third two starts back, fifth last time out just 17 days ago, and has run over today's trip and going before. Winless in her last five, she runs from stall one off an official 53, and our rating of 66 ranks her second of 12.

Dear Theodosia is winless in her last four, with back-to-back ninth-place finishes most recently, and a 45-day layoff does little to help her case. She has run over today's trip and runs off 130 lb from stall 12, but our figures rank her 10th of 12.

Dropping Dimes bounced back with a third last time out, 18 days ago, and has run over today's trip, but she's yet to win in her last four starts, with two ninths before that. Our rating of 58 sits above her official 50, though 128 lb from stall nine is a hefty burden.

Unplaced in each of her last four starts, Magna Fortuna still looks a leading danger: she is fresh from a run 14 days ago, has run over today's trip and going, and our rating of 58 sits well clear of her official 50. The risk is plain, though, as she is yet to score in that spell and carries 128 lb from stall five.

Rathbran Lady is winless in her last six, finishing ninth last time out, and has not been closer than a fifth in that spell, so she is hard to fancy. She has run over today's trip and is back quickly after 12 days, but our rating has her 11th of 12.

Tina Tereshkova is hard to fancy, unplaced last time out and again two starts back, with a sixth three starts back her best recent finish and no win in her last five starts. She has run over today's trip and going before, and our rating ranks her ninth of 12, so she looks outpaced on paper.
