Boom Break offers a solid second choice with consistent recent form and the benefit of an inside barrier draw. The short turnaround from its last start suggests race fitness.
Recent race experience is a plus, and the horse has proven soft track ability. However, a declining form trend and lack of wins to date temper expectations, placing it as the third selection.
The reapplication of blinkers could spark improvement.

Ciphertext stands out as the top selection with consistent form and a strong affinity for soft tracks. The filly has placed in 4 of 6 starts, including 3 seconds over this distance.

Groove Jet rounds out the top selections as a consistent performer with a strong place record. While yet to break through for a win and unproven on soft tracks, her overall form and ability make her a genuine place chance in this field.

Her adaptability to soft conditions will be key.
The inside barrier is favorable, but the gelding carries top weight and faces a class rise.
The filly's midfield running style should suit the predicted fast tempo. While yet to place, there's potential for improvement third-up.
The long layoff is a concern, but could lead to improvement.

Merchant Lady comes off a strong win and has a good record on soft tracks. The weight and barrier draw are both in her favor for these conditions. While she faces a slight class rise and is unproven at the track and distance, her recent form and suitability to the conditions make her a strong contender.
Pyrois brings consistent form and a good soft track record into this race. The weight is suitable for the conditions and the trainer/jockey combination is strong. However, he faces a significant class rise and is unproven at the track. The blinkers going back on is a gear change that could spark improvement but also adds an element of uncertainty.
While unproven on soft tracks, his ability to run fast times suggests he should handle the conditions. The likely fast tempo should suit his running style, and he's well-positioned to capitalize from barrier 9.
Written Fame presents as a value option with a good soft track record and a lightweight chance in this field. The advantageous barrier draw and potential for improvement second-up add to his appeal.

The filly has proven soft track ability, a favorable barrier, and receives weight relief. While yet to break through for a win, all signs point to a peak performance today.
Boulevard Boy returns from a spell with promising gear changes and an ideal inside draw. While unproven on soft going, the gelding's tactical speed should see him well-placed throughout. The Peter Robl/Danny Peisley combination adds confidence to this selection.
Sans Egal has been knocking on the door with placings in her last two starts. The addition of a nose roll could see further improvement, making her a solid each-way prospect.
The wide barrier is a concern, but the lightweight and potential for improvement make her an interesting longshot.
