9-8
7/2 10/3 7/2
Consistent without a win in his last three starts, South Dakota has run over today's trip and going and brings solid placed form — third last time out — into this, with 134 lb from stall nine the main thing to overcome.
AI verdict

SR 95 is competitive — each-way claims if conditions suit on the day.

9-8
8/1 6/1 8/1
Star Prospect is the top-rated runner in this field, with a win four starts back and thirds on two of his last four outings; he has experience of today's trip and going, and returns fit on a quick ten-day turnaround carrying 134 lb from stall 11.
AI verdict

SR 87 suggests ability but 8/1 reflects a stiff ask in this field.

25/1 18/1 22/1
Eighteenth Smiles has run over today's trip and going, and a third last time out offers encouragement, though he's winless in his last five starts and a return just four days later raises a fitness query — 130 lb from stall 3 is the added challenge.
AI verdict

SR 47 is modest for this company — needs everything to go right at 25/1.

22/1 FCST 18/1
Winless in his last three starts — including a disqualification — and ranked tenth of twelve on our figures, Ranting Duke faces a stiff ask from stall 10 carrying 130 lb, though he has run over today's distance and going before.
AI verdict

SR 129 suggests ability but 22/1 reflects a stiff ask in this field.

Starlit silks
Starlit
Age 2 · 9-3

50/1 40/1 50/1
Starlit is unraced and completely unexposed, making her impossible to assess on form alone — but that very openness leaves plenty of room for improvement on debut, carrying 129 lb from stall 5.
AI verdict

SR 121 suggests ability but 50/1 reflects a stiff ask in this field.

20/1 14/1 20/1
Alpe d'Huez has experience over today's trip and boasts a win three starts back, with a second two starts back franking that form — the main concern is whether 47 days off has left him short of peak fitness.
AI verdict

SR 71 suggests ability but 20/1 reflects a stiff ask in this field.

66/1 FCST 50/1
Yet to score in recent starts, El Domino at least has experience over today's trip and conditions in his favour; the 18-day turnaround suggests he comes here fresh, though a sixth last time out and a mid-table rating leave him with plenty to prove from stall seven.
AI verdict

SR 121 suggests ability but 66/1 reflects a stiff ask in this field.

Winless in his last two starts and ranked ninth of twelve on our figures, Anglesea Bridge faces a stiff task here; that said, he has experience over today's trip and going, and 12 days since his last run suggests he arrives fresh.
AI verdict

SR 123 suggests ability but 100/1 reflects a stiff ask in this field.

Weekend Roar won last time out and has run over today's trip and going, but his our rating of 69 sits well below his official mark, and 39 days off the track leaves a fitness question to answer.
AI verdict

SR 91 is competitive — each-way claims if conditions suit on the day.

Winless in her last two starts and ranked eighth of twelve on our figures, Lily Bear faces a stiff task here; she does have experience over today's trip and going, and a run just 11 days ago keeps her fit, but that's slim consolation at these weights.
AI verdict

SR 126 suggests ability but 100/1 reflects a stiff ask in this field.

Livenka silks

8-11
10/11 10/11 5/6
Livenka arrives on the back of a win last time out, and with experience of today's distance and going, she arrives primed to go close again — the main risk is whether her rating of 75 holds up against stronger rivals.
AI verdict

Favourable weight of 8-11 gives a real edge in this handicap.

Maeda Matsu silks
Maeda Matsu

66/1 FCST 50/1
Maeda Matsu makes her racecourse debut from stall one carrying 121 lb — unraced and entirely unexposed, she is open to any amount of improvement and worth monitoring on first principles.
AI verdict

SR 125 suggests ability but 66/1 reflects a stiff ask in this field.

Livenka
Confidence: High

Livenka (SR 163, 10/11) stands in a class of her own — a SR of 163 is top-class on the 0-200 scale and fully 37 points clear of the next-best runner, Lily Bear at 126. She carries the lightest weight in the field at 8-11, a meaningful advantage against the heavier-weighted runners in what is a competitive juvenile conditions sprint. GoingFit:+ confirms she handles today's good ground, and her form figure of 331 — improving to a win on her most recent start — is exactly the kind of progressive arc you want at this age. Colin Keane, a 16% strike-rate jockey, takes the ride for a yard operating at 15%, and at 10/11 the market is firmly in agreement with the form assessment. Each-way alternative: South Dakota. Main danger: Weekend Roar — Weekend Roar (SR 91, 7/2) showed a sharp improvement to win on his second start (form 31), carries the joint-lightest weight at 9-0 alongside Livenka, and W J Lee's 15% strike rate on a horse co-favoured in the market suggests this yard believes there is more to come from a lightly-raced juvenile.
