NARINO BOGART (8) has a strong recent profile with back-to-back seconds at this track, losing by a length and a half to Build Rapport and half a length to Crow Song in C2C3 company. Despite 25 starts without a win, he boasts seven placings from nine attempts at this track and distance, providing a solid foundation. BORDEAUX DAGUERRE (13) is tougher to assess with two ninths and no placings in four 2000m races, but he's race-fit and could bounce back if he finds his best form. AMABILITE (5) finished long-odds third behind Build Rapport last start and has three placings from six attempts at this track and distance, giving her each-way potential despite being winless. CROW SONG (12) has the best track-and-distance record among the favorites with two wins and two placings from seven, and her previous C2C3 victory over Narino Bogart keeps her competitive, despite a lackluster sixth last time.
