Spirit Lead Me has been well held throughout, his best a 6th six starts back, with 8th, 9th, 9th and 9th following before a similar 8th last time out. First-time cheekpieces and proven form over trip and ground offer some hope, but he still has plenty to find.

Moderate Saturday Rating of 59, poor recent form showing 689998, and a 9-9 weight burden limit confidence despite fair 10/3 odds.
Union Island won five starts back and has stayed competitive since, with 5th, 4th, 3rd and 4th in between, putting him firmly in this midfield mix. First-time cheekpieces and proven trip and ground form add interest, though he needs the breaks to go his way.

A Saturday Rating of 60 and inconsistent form (015434) at 9-8 weight make 7/1 odds unappealing in this market.
Look Back Smiling stands out on our figures, well clear of this field despite a modest recent sequence of 4th, unplaced, 9th, 6th and unplaced. First-time cheekpieces and a 33-day break give him a fair chance to bounce back, with only that recent form the obvious query.

Opening Bat was a solid 3rd twice in his last five starts, form that puts him among the leading contenders here, even though his last two efforts were well beaten. With trip and ground both proven, he rates one of the main dangers if he rediscovers that level.

Poor form (338-00) and a low Saturday Rating of 57 make 9/1 odds insufficient compensation for the risk.
Finn Ironside ran a solid 3rd three starts back but has since dipped, with 8th and 7th his last two efforts. First-time tongue-tie and proven trip and ground form add interest, but a yard out of current form is a concern.

Finn Ironside's Saturday Rating of 33, poor form (904387), and 28/1 odds signal the market has no confidence here.
Between Me And U was a good 2nd four starts back but has since dipped, with 6th, 6th and 7th his last three efforts. First-time tongue-tie and proven trip and ground form add further appeal, though that recent dip is a concern.

Devious Devan won two starts back after a modest 7th, 8th and unplaced before that, but he came back down to earth with a 7th last time out. With trip and ground both covered, he retains each-way claims from this midfield group, on the strength of that win alone.

Midfield Saturday Rating of 59 and patchy form (7-8017) offer some promise at 7/2 odds.
Sub Thirteen was a promising 2nd four starts back but form dipped after, with unplaced and 8th efforts following before a modest 3rd last time out. First-time cheekpieces add some interest, but he rates towards the foot of our figures here.

Beau Jardine won last time out having built steadily through 7th, 7th, 6th and 4th before that, a clear upward trend. First-time cheekpieces and proven trip and ground form back up that improvement, giving him solid claims from this midfield group.

Cherry Hill has managed only a best of 8th in this sequence, with four unplaced efforts either side, and she sits bottom of our figures for this race. Trip and ground are both proven, but on this evidence she looks up against more seasoned rivals.

Look Back Smiling owns one of the strongest chamber scores in this field. The Balanced lens likes the blend of SR strength (33) and market confidence (79). The profile stays composed even after the chamber introduces race-day variance.

Between Me And U (SR:61, 7/2) carries the highest Saturday Rating in the field at a competitive 9-4, and the market has endorsed it emphatically with a 46% inward move — the strongest steaming of any contender with genuine SR credentials. The SR edge over the field is modest but real, and at Class 6 over 1m, ability differences at this level can be decisive even by a single point. Distance fit is unproven (DistFit:?) but that cuts both ways — no negative record to cite — and the going fit is similarly open rather than a confirmed negative. David Probert's booking (9%, 667 rides) is a solid journeyman connection for this level, and the 46% market steam is the clearest single signal in the race that connections expect a performance.
Each-way alternative: Opening Bat.
Main danger: Union Island — Union Island (SR:60, 7/1) has steamed 21% into the market, sits only one SR point below the selection at a 2lb weight advantage (9-8 vs 9-4), and Charlie Johnston's yard strikes at 13% from over 1,000 runners — the volume and consistency of that stat is meaningful, and this market move on a horse at 7/1 suggests hidden confidence.
