BOW APPEARS (11) is the top pick despite an uneven form card, with his latest fifth behind Candy Tuft over 1500m a more reliable guide than the heavy defeat behind Peptide Plata start prior. He has a win and a placing from five tries around 920m and has enough C1 suitability to improve sharply. SHINE MONOLITH (8) is the main danger, having won a COND at this venue two starts ago from G T Neige before only battling in C3 company last time; his 920m record is the query, but the recent rating profile keeps him right in play. NOBLE SNIPER (6) has been fourth at his past two starts and owns a sound record at this venue, so the shorter trip is the key new test rather than overall quality. TREASURE BEAT (10) brings the best strike-rate profile, with four wins from seven starts overall and three from four at this track, while his latest C3 fifth keeps him more in the place mix unless he returns to the authority of his C7 win over Ho O Brights.
