Tip for this race
All today's tips ›Nazario heads our ratings on 82, six pounds clear of Venetian Star on 76, and that is the strongest basis for backing him in this 14-runner seven-furlong contest on soft ground. Venetian Star is the main danger, while Caislean Ni Cuan on 71 and Dandymaria on 68 are best placed of the rest to take advantage if Nazario is below his best. With such a big field, the race may not run to form, so confidence is low, but the rating advantage still makes Nazario the one to beat. Our selection is Nazario.
Runners
Jimmy Dalton (7)
A. Slattery 9/40
Cisterna won last time out and is back quickly after just seven days, with experience over today's trip and going, but he's been inconsistent either side of that, unplaced in two of his previous four, and 140 lb from draw seven leaves little margin. Our rating of 68 ranks him fifth of 14.

G. F. Carroll
A Oliver 1/18
Dandymaria is consistent, finishing a fifth last time out and a third three starts back, and she's fresh enough after 17 days with experience of today's trip. Yet to win in her last five, though, and 140 lb from stall 12 looks a stiff ask.

Ben Coen
J. P. Murtagh 6/51
Nazario is our top-rated runner, and his 82 rating stands well clear of a modest mark of 67, with the gelding having run over today's trip and on this going before. Winless in his last six and a seventh last time out is the reservation, but he's fit after 10 days and drawn 11.

W. McCreery 2/23
Socratea is winless in her last three, unplaced twice before a seventh three starts back, though she's fresh enough after 23 days and has run over today's trip. Carrying 137 lb from draw 14 off an official 65, she looks short of the pace judged by our 59 rating.

Adam Browne-Souza (7)
A. Slattery 9/40
Sunrise Angel was fifth last time out, after a win two starts back, but he has finished sixth, sixth and eighth in the other recent runs, so consistency is the worry. He has run over today's trip and going, and 136 lb from stall four, 30 days off, leaves him a midfield proposition, ranked eighth of 14 on our rating.

Patrick T Foley 0/8
Venetian Star is a leading danger on our figures, ranked second of 14 with a 76 rating, and he has run over today's trip and going before, while returning quickly just four days after his last outing. The risk is form that reads poorly, with a fifth three starts back his best finish in recent starts and yet to win in his last six.

Girl Bear is yet to win in her last six and has finished unplaced, ninth and eighth in her last three, though a third five starts back shows some ability. She has run over today's trip and going, is back quickly after seven days, and our rating of 64 sits above her official 60.

Glamazon is yet to win in her last six starts, though she was third two starts back, and a sixth last time out after just 11 days suggests she's fit enough; she has run over today's trip and going, but 132 lb from draw 8 is a stiff ask, even if our rating of 67 sits above her official 60.

Caislean Ni Cuan comes in sharpening up, a third last time out and a fourth two starts back, just nine days since that run, and she has experience of today's trip and going. Our rating of 71 ranks her third of 14, though she is yet to win in her last six and carries 129 lb from draw 9.

W. J. Lee

Little Wing is winless in her last five, unplaced in her last three and ninth twice before that, so she is hard to fancy off 129 lb from stall 13. She has run over today's trip and is back after 31 days, but our figures rank her 12th of 14.

Wesley Joyce
Michael Mulvany 0/16
Nephin Mountain has a win five starts back and a third four starts back, but he's tailed off since with a sixth, then an unplaced run last time, though he's back quickly after 12 days and has run over today's trip and going. Carrying 129 lb from draw 1, he looks a midfield sort on our rating of 59, ranked ninth of 14.

Winless in her last four, Orphanina was unplaced last time out and has only a ninth three starts back to show, so she is hard to fancy. She has run over today's trip and returns after 28 days, but our figures rank her last of 14 and 129 lb is a big ask.
