      Adaay Of Scarlett

      2/1

      SR 121 is below Inner City Blues on raw rating, but four consistent starts of 1122, a positive market move of +0.8, and Oisin Murphy in the saddle give this a depth of evidence a …

      Inner City Blues

      8/11

      SR 160 and a perfect record make Inner City Blues a genuine threat — but the -0.6 market move flag and a solitary run mean the model, and I, cannot fully trust the ceiling at 8/11.

      Hickory Lad

      15/2

      SR 105 and a tidy 2121 form string for Phillip Makin suggests a consistent if limited performer; 15/2 reflects his place ceiling in this company.

      Persian Spring

      16/1

      SR 82 and a form line of 510 leave Persian Spring completely outclassed in a Group 2 field; 16/1 is a fair reflection of his chances here.

      Del Maro

      13/8

      SR 119 leads the field by six points; positive market move and Buick retention are the two strongest signals in a thin five-runner Group 3. Class wins.

      Point Of Law

      10/3

      Consistent 214 form with speed and going positives; Gosden yard and Doyle booking on a horse whose form arc points upward. Underestimated at 10/3.

    3. 🥉
      Predicted 3rd

      Galiyan

      10/3

      Going fit is a genuine positive on fast ground; Murphy knows the Newmarket straight. Model scores this second but the form string of 416 is more ragged than Point Of Law's.

      Nil Bua Gan Dua

      7/1

      Ryan Moore adds intrigue but SR 103 and a speed deficit flagged in the model make this a fourth-at-best in this company despite the positive market move signal.

      Point Of Contact

      7/4

      SR 97 with Moore in the saddle and a light 9-6 weight keeps it honest, but at 7/4 the market has priced out the margin for error against a superior-rated rival.

      Cloth Of Gold

      Rathgar

      Improving 4119 form sequence is the most compelling upward trajectory in the field; 9-12 weight is the ceiling on how far that improvement can carry him today.

      Bridge Of Eagles

      Sassicaia

      13/2

      A winner on his form string and SR 80 keeps him honest, but 9-9 is a significant ask for a three-year-old that hasn't reappeared since that win.

      Sunny Smile

      SR 81 is modest but Oisin Murphy extracts maximum from a low draw at 8-13; the 142-02 sequence suggests capability when things fall right.

      Richie's Rocket

      Act Of Kindness

      Shagraan
