Confidence
Medium · Tier B
How the race should unfoldExpect a fast pace up front, with two need-to-lead types likely to push each other along over this sharp five furlongs. That could help horses who settle just off the pace. Today's draw bias favours higher stalls, working against the favourite and one of the pace horses, but suits our fancy, who has drawn well.
1
Big Negotiator
Big Negotiator has the strongest form and class in the field, but he's drawn on the wrong side of today's bias and is already short in the betting.
19% / 30%
2
Shimmering Sun
Shimmering Sun keeps finishing close up and is in the best form of her career, though there's nothing here to suggest she's being underrated by punters.
14% / 17%
3
Controlla
Controlla's figures suggest she's better than her official rating implies, and she's drawn well under today's bias, even though she's drifted a little in the betting.
13% / 11%
4
Grayrobin
Grayrobin has won his last two starts and keeps improving, but he may have to share the lead with another fast starter and has a tricky draw.
10% / 9%
Red flags
Controlla has drifted in the betting this morning, suggesting others see her chance fading.She's racing again just days after her last win, a quick turnaround.Her settle-off-the-pace style can be a risk in a sharp five-furlong sprint.
