Verdict: MASAKADO has an obvious shout. He looks best placed to take advantage if the front-runners go too fast and can turn around placings with Inbound from last time they met. Striking Sparks and Uninvited Guest must be on the shortlist.

4/1

Comment: A winner four times from 25 runs (5½f-1m½f); split a number of these rivals over 1m here (claimer) when fourth of seven last month; needs to be taken seriously based on the pick of his form and boasts the best speed figure posted by any of this field in the last 12 months.

Comment: You have to go back a fair way to find his only win; last of ten last month at Colonial Downs behind Oneofthegoodguys, in a claimer; tag has been raised to $16k; should not be far away despite defeat last time as he was far from disgraced two runs ago.
