Dreams Of Eric (7) Improver from his last start and weaker field for this. Top three chance again

Ohoka Achilles (3) Likely leader and in good form. Good run expected again if he goes forward

Beta Prepare (6) Better than the form suggests and can fly the gate. At his best goes close here
Great White (3) Still on the up and weaker field to what he has been racing. Good each way chance

You Little Beauty (2) Drop in grade here but stand start a worry. Will need manners but can win
