Prefer The Sister won two starts back and is a mare who clearly knows how to win, with experience over today's trip and going in her favour; however, she carries 138 lb from stall 14 and our rating of 66 suggests she faces a stiff ask against stronger company here.

Dion Baker shaped well when third three starts back and a winner four starts back, and he arrives here fresh enough on 17 days' rest with experience of today's trip and going; the main concern is that a mark of 73 may leave him with something to find.

Neptune Legend won two starts back and boasts three wins in his last six, bringing solid recent form to the table; however, a sixth last time out, 31 days off the track, and a trainer running at just 5% in the past fortnight are genuine concerns for this 129 lb carry from stall 11.

Arnaz arrives on the back of back-to-back wins and has run over today's trip and going, giving him solid each-way claims at a competitive weight of 129 lb; the chief concern is that five days between runs leaves his recovery on the short side.

Winner last time out and a winner three starts back, Secret Handsheikh arrives in decent nick on 18 days' rest with experience of today's trip and going, but a mixed recent profile — fifth and two out-of-the-money efforts in between — keeps him firmly in the each-way bracket from stall 10 off 128 lb.

Third three starts back and second four starts back show Giant has threatened without converting, and his rating of 68 suggests he retains ability; but a trainer strike-rate of just 5% over the past fortnight is the chief concern here.

Consistent performer who has placed four times in his last six starts, with a win two starts further back, and he has experience of today's trip and conditions — but a trainer operating at just 5% in the past fortnight is a concern, and he is ranked ninth of sixteen on our assessment.

Port Hedland has finished eighth, fifth, and eighth in his last three starts, and although he scored four runs back, his overall recent profile is hard to ignore at the foot of the rankings; experience over today's trip and going offers some small comfort, but the trainer's 5% strike rate in the last 14 days compounds the concern.

Arnaz carries the highest SR in the field at 70 off a light 9-3, and his form string 787811 shows two consecutive wins to arrive here in peak condition. At 5/2 the market is confident, and a 6% market shortening confirms money is still coming. The concern is DistFit:- and GoingFit:- on today's good ground over 5f215y, but at 5 years old with back-to-back wins his current momentum is the strongest signal in the race. Billy Loughnane (19% strike rate, 1774 career rides) is a high-quality booking and completes a compelling multi-signal case.
Each-way alternative: Prefer The Sister.
Main danger: Secret Handsheikh — Secret Handsheikh (SR:67, 6/1) posted a last-time-out win off form 387151, holds Course:W1P3 at Brighton, and has shortened 6% in the market — three aligning signals that make it the most credible alternative to Arnaz despite the step up four class tiers.
⚖Case against4clamped▾
DistFit:- and GoingFit:- are both unconfirmed for today's 5f215y on good ground — Brighton's unique undulating track amplifies any distance/going unsuitability, and Arnaz has no proven record here.
Trainer Mark Loughnane has a notably low 6% strike rate, meaning even with Billy Loughnane riding, the yard's overall efficiency is a material drag on win probability.
Arnaz runs just 5 days after his last outing — an unusually quick turnaround that risks fatigue, especially if his back-to-back wins required a genuine effort at his peak.
Dion Baker (W3P5 at Brighton) and Big Time Rascal (W3P3) carry strong proven course form that Arnaz entirely lacks, giving those rivals a specific track-craft edge on Brighton's tricky camber.
