Tip for this race
All today's tips ›Mister Adam No. 17, stall 14
Danny O'Leary · G. O'Leary
✓ Top rated ✓ Distance winner ✓ Back from a 452-day break
Mister Adam heads our ratings on 89, and that is enough to make him the pick in a wide-open 15-runner contest over a testing 12 furlongs on soft ground. He is only a point ahead of Amplitude on 88, so the margin is narrow and this is far from a straightforward assignment. Amplitude is the chief danger, while Saliba on 80 and Vantage Code on 79 sit a little further back but could still be involved if the pace is strong in the conditions. Mister Adam gets the nod on the numbers, though confidence is low. Our selection is Mister Adam.

Amplitude arrives in solid, consistent form, with a fifth last time out, a fourth two starts back, and a third three starts back, and he has run over today's trip and going before. Our rating of 88 ranks him second of 15, but he is yet to win in his last six starts, and 140 lb is a hefty burden.

Saliba comes here in decent heart, a second last time out just seven days ago and a second three starts back, with a quick turnaround showing he's fit and has run over today's going before. Yet to win in his last six, though, and carrying 136 lb, he'll need to turn those near-misses into a first success.

Lightly raced and unexposed, Serienmond showed he can win with a victory three starts back, though he's been unplaced last time out and a fifth two starts back since. Back after 23 days, the gelding carries 136 lb and looks open to improvement.

Prophet's Path is winless in his last five, with four seconds in a row before being unplaced last time out, which suggests he finds one too good or lacks a finishing kick. Carrying 135 lb, he has run over today's trip and is back after 15 days, but our figures rank him 11th of 15.

Vantage Code is a threat on profile: he has a win four starts back, a second six starts back and a third five starts back, and he is fit after 11 days off, having run over today's trip and going before. The main risk is that he has slipped to a fifth last time out and an eighth before that.

Lady Plimsoll was beaten into eighth last time out, but three seconds and two thirds in the five runs before that show a consistent type, and she has run over today's trip and going. Yet to win in her last six starts, she carries 133 lb off a mark of 71.

Kimy is winless in her last six, with an unplaced effort last time and a sixth and a ninth before that, so she is hard to fancy at 131 lb. A second four starts back and a quick 11-day turnaround offer some hope, and she has run over today's trip, but our figures rank her 13th of 15.

Lord Aus was second last time out and has been in the frame in four of his last six, including a win four starts back, while he has run over today's trip and going before. Carrying 131 lb off an official 75 after 27 days off, he looks to have plenty to do, and our rating of 74 ranks him ninth of 15.

Palace Rock was a third two starts back and a second three and four starts back, yet he is winless in his last five and returns after 631 days off. He has run over today's trip and going, and our rating of 79 is decent, but rust and 131 lb are concerns.

Victors Spirit was third last time out, and he has a winner five starts back, but a seventh two starts back and a 106-day break leave questions over fitness. He has run over today's trip, and our rating of 74 sits above his official 69, though 131 lb is a hefty burden.

Mr Rango is hard to fancy, unplaced in his last two outings and without a win in his last six starts, with a second four starts back the only real bright spot. He has run over today's trip and going and is back quickly after 11 days, but ranking 12th of 15 on our figures says plenty.

Last-time winner after a second two starts back, and fresh enough at 21 days, but she has hit the frame only twice in her last six and our figures rank her 15th of 15 on a rating of 63, two pounds below her official 65. She has run over today's trip, but carrying 121 lb makes her hard to fancy.
