Jaz Session brings the strongest recent form into this race with back-to-back wins including a victory at Belmont Park over this distance. Her overall record at 1000m is excellent with 3 wins from 7 starts. The mare has a consistent record of 11:3-2-2 and performs well on Good tracks. Despite the wide barrier, her tactical speed should allow her to overcome this disadvantage.
My Lovely Pet comes into this race in excellent form with consecutive wins including a victory at Ascot over this distance. The gelding has a strong record at 1000m with 4 wins from 17 starts and performs well on Good tracks.
Sky Duke brings solid form into this race with a recent win at Ascot over 1200m. The gelding has a good record on Good tracks and benefits from an inside barrier draw which is advantageous at Ascot for sprint races. The 1.5kg claim helps offset the top weight.
While his recent form has been moderate, he has won twice at 1000m and performs well on Good tracks.

Castle Road brings the strongest form into this 2YO race with 2 wins from 3 starts. Despite the wide barrier, his early speed should allow him to overcome this disadvantage. He's proven at Ascot with both wins coming at this track.
My Authoritah showed promise on debut at Bunbury and should improve with that experience. The Chris Parnham/Dan Morton combination is strong, and the colt is by Playing God who produces quality 2YOs. While inexperienced, he has the potential to improve significantly and represents the main danger to the top selection.
God's Rapture has several factors in her favor including a good barrier, lightweight, and the services of William Pike. The filly is by Playing God and should improve significantly from her debut run. The inside draw is advantageous at Ascot for 2YO races, and with Pike aboard, she should get every chance.
Wonderfully Made represents value as an unraced runner from the strong Dan Morton stable. The inside barrier is a significant advantage for a first-starter, and the stable has a good record with 2YOs.
