Tip for this race
All today's tips ›Star Strewn gets the nod on a progressive profile, and at 76 she is only four pounds behind the top-rated Shoot To Kill, a gap small enough to be outweighed by her upward trajectory. Shoot To Kill is the chief danger on figures, while Justenzia shares Star Strewn's rating of 76 and Red Hugh O'Donnell, on 69, is the next best of the rest. The remainder look to have it all to do, with Betsy Trotwood a long way adrift on 27. Star Strewn is the selection.
Runners
Chris Hayes
Denis Gerard Hogan 1/16
Won last time out just five days ago, and with a second two starts back and a pair of seconds before a sixth, Justenzia is in cracking form and has run over today's trip and going. The risk is the quick turnaround under 142 lb, with our rating of 76 ranking her third of eight.

C. W. J. Farrell 0/0
Star Strewn won two starts back and six starts back, and has run over today's trip and going before, so she is our pick on profile despite an unplaced effort last time out. A 33-day break should have her fresh, though 140 lb is a notable burden from stall eight.

Noel C. Kelly 1/9
Shoot To Kill bounced back with a second last time out just 19 days ago, and he has run over today's trip and on this going before; our rating of 80 ranks him top of eight, well clear of his official 70. The risk is consistency, with a ninth and a sixth in the recent mix and yet to win in his last six.

Gillian Scott 1/2
Fit after 14 days, Red Hugh O'Donnell has run over today's trip and going, and our rating of 69 ranks him fourth of eight, comfortably above his official 62. The risk is a winless run in his last six starts, with a fourth six starts back his best recent effort.

Reese Holohan (5)
Mark Fahey 0/8
Ocean Echo is winless in his last six, though a fifth last time out and a quick 14-day turnaround suggest he's holding his form, and he has run over today's trip and going before. Our rating of 65 sits above his official 57, but sixth of eight in our ranking and 128 lb from stall six leave plenty to prove.

Winless in her last three, finishing unplaced last time out and a seventh two starts back, Betsy Trotwood is hard to fancy, and our figures have her last of eight. She has run on today's going and returns after 21 days, but little else points her way from stall four.

A. McCann 0/7
Leonie is a filly who has gone eighth and unplaced in her last two runs, though she won four starts back and was third before that, and she has run over today's trip and going. Fitness looks fine after 21 days off, but 122 lb from stall five and a fifth-ranked rating of 66 point to a midfield finish.

W. McCreery 0/7
Morning Approach is yet to win in her last six, with five unplaced runs before a third last time out 14 days ago, so she is hard to fancy at 122 lb from draw 7. In her favour, she has run over today's trip and going, and our rating of 58 still ranks her only seventh of eight.
