#5 Shangrilama (IRE) (5/2)
Lone runner in here with a recent positive turf spread should be set up well to stalk and pounce with several early-spent types signed on.

#5 Crossanna (8/1)
She’s a slow starter so will need an honest race flow here, but was getting better with each turf spin before the intervening dirt race that saw her prompt a COMP*. That race could put a little more speed into her and the triggered Form Cycle Pattern is a positive signal for turf dynamics. Perhaps she’ll work a trip to run them down here with a price attached.

#1 Theresasilverlinin (7/2)
Sketchy field signed on here so I’ll have to go with the most accomplished runner of the field and really the only charge in here with a foundation of consistent winning (10 for 18 lifetime). She probably just has to match the 76/66h she prompted last time at this trip 3-back to win today.

#3 Hawker (5/2)
Going turf route to dirt sprint here in an extreme switch-up that may fit this one really well. Going back to dirt routes last year, the internal 4F/6F turnback figures of 77/71 and 76/75 would both translate to competitive sprint ability vs this field. Also, at the time of that form, runner had tighter turf figures but most recently has been speedier and more forward-spent on grass, which could translate even better to the main track currently than last year’s form which makes him a standout today.
