Tip for this race
All today's tips ›Pivotal Terms looks the pick of a tight Southwell sprint, her progressive profile giving her the edge over Beach Partee, who is only a pound better on our figures. Just one pound separates the pair, so this is no formality, and Great Success and Bridget's Baby are also within three pounds of our selection and cannot be ignored. Pivotal Terms is the one trending in the right direction, though, and that improvement can see her collar a closely matched group over the five furlongs. Pivotal Terms is our selection.

Bridget's Baby won two starts back and was second the run before that, so she has the ability to strike, and she has run over today's trip and on the going. The main risk is a 61-day absence after a sixth last time out, with 135 lb to carry from stall five.

Cara Tuke (7)
Iain Jardine 3/29
Won last time out and only nine days ago, so Pivotal Terms arrives fresh and in form, and she has run over today's trip and going before. Carrying 134 lb from stall two, she's our pick on overall profile, though a seventh two starts back keeps her honest.

Scott Dixon 2/30
Beach Partee arrives fit after a run nine days ago and has been in the frame in four of his last six, including a second three starts back, while he has run over today's trip and going before. Yet to win in that spell, he must still shed 132 lb from stall seven, which is the main risk.

Kipp Kelly was a fifth last time out, after a second two starts back and a third three starts back, but he returns from 216 days off and carries 131 lb from stall one. He has run over today's trip and going, and our rating of 52 ranks him fifth of nine.

Scott Dixon 2/30
Great Success is fresh from a run just 10 days ago and has run over today's trip and going, while our rating of 56 ranks him third of nine against an official mark of 48. The risk is a winless run in his last six, with a fifth last time out.

Roy Bowring 0/2
Winless in her last five, Auradue was eighth last time out, and a seventh and a fourth before that is hardly a sign of improvement, so she is hard to fancy as the eighth-ranked of nine on our figures. On the plus side, she has run over today's trip and going, and is back quickly after 11 days.

Scott Dixon 2/30
Winless in her last six, Coast was unplaced last time out 43 days ago, and a fourth two starts back is her best recent effort bar a third four runs ago. She has run over today's trip and going, but that is about all that helps.

Scott Dixon 2/30
Anglesey Lad is yet to win in his last five, with a ninth last time out following a fourth two starts back, though he did finish second five starts back and has run over today's trip and going. Rated 48 by us, he's ranked sixth of nine, and returns from a 28-day break.

Petes Diamond is winless in his last six, with an unplaced effort last time out and a sixth two starts back his best finish, and he returns after 117 days off. He has run over today's trip and going, but a ranking of ninth of nine on our figures makes him hard to fancy from stall 3.
