Keen on heavy ground off this mark latest, only cracking late, and holds leading claims
2 (3)	Alazwar Bay J:Hollie Doyle T:Archie Watson	J:Hollie Doyle T:Archie Watson	135	p	17007-	85	99	81	152d	—	0W/0P 1 run	0	15.2	1.13/1	9/2 18%
Is currently 2-2 on Tapeta and it remains to be seen whether these conditions are optimal

Has the ability but has got into the habit of blowing the start and can pull hard; risky
8 (7)	Rival Bay J:George Rooke T:John Flint	J:George Rooke T:John Flint	119	—	8146-3	69	96	79	14d	—	—	-1	11.4	1.63/1	13/2 13%
Solid comeback a fortnight ago off the same mark; stays further and won't mind any rain

Consistent last year but needs a bit more if she's to take this back from five months off

Won twice on soft ground as a 2yo; may need more help from the handicapper; market useful
3 (4)	Marlay Park b/br J:Pat Cosgrave T:Jim Boyle	J:Pat Cosgrave T:Jim Boyle	134	—	5218-8	84	98	89	11d	—	—	+4	10.1	4.25/1	18 6%
Going beyond 7f for the first time; didn't offer much on his AW comeback recently
NR (6)	Shoot To Kill Bay J:Ray Dawson T:Robyn Brisland	J:Ray Dawson T:Robyn Brisland	124	—	-00865	74	93	28	17d	—	—	-5	10.3	4.75/1	20 5%
Heavy ground probably behind his latest effort but that leaves him with something to prove
