Tip for this race
All today's tips ›Georgie's Lady is only three pounds behind the top-rated Kenny's Jewel on our figures, and she gets the nod thanks to a fitness edge and a more solid book of form. Kenny's Jewel is the chief danger and deserves respect as the best-rated runner, while Upton's Mighty Oak and Just A Heartbeat, both a pound clear of our pick, make this a tight contest. Georgie's Lady looks the one to be on, though only a low-confidence call in such a closely matched septet. Our selection is Georgie's Lady.
Runners
Lee Edwards
Dylan Cunha 3/23
Kenny's Jewel won last time out and has run over today's trip, which makes her a leading threat, with our rating ranking her first of seven. The main risk is a 79-day layoff, plus a hefty 168 lb after a patchy run of form before that win.

Just A Heartbeat signed off with a second last time out, and she was also second four starts back, so the capability is there, with a 96 mark and 165 lb to carry. The one concern is a 206-day absence, which leaves fitness the big question.

Ever Ready is hard to fancy: the mare is winless in her last five, beaten into seventh last time out, and returns after 201 days off. She does carry 159 lb off an official mark of 90, though she has run over today's trip and was second four starts back.

Georgie's Lady arrives fresh from a fifth last time out just 17 days ago, and her fourth two starts back shows her form heading the right way after two ninths. Our rating of 93 sits above her official 90, though the 158 lb burden is a reservation.

Sumatran Tiger is hard to fancy after being pulled up last time out and a ninth two starts back, and she is winless in her last four after 47 days off. A second three starts back and experience over today's trip offer some hope, but 158 lb is a big ask, and our rating of 88 ranks her last of seven.

Nala The Lioness arrives fresh from a second last time out, 19 days ago, though she is winless in her last five and has a seventh and a pulled up in that run. She has run over today's trip, but 156 lb is a big burden off 87, and our rating of 90 only ranks her fifth of seven.

Dr Richard Newland 0/4
Fresh from a win last time out just 24 days ago, she has the form to be a leading threat, and has run over today's trip before, while our rating of 94 ranks her second of seven. The risk is her 151 lb burden, with a seventh two starts back showing she can underperform.
