Making a fourth appearance since joining the in-form Matt Elkins barn, OAKLEY SHARD (7) comes up with the outside front line for a third time. Making a late play for 3rd at her first appearance behind NITRATOR, she has gone back-to-back, the latest starchy performance when parked. Despite the gate, she can chase the hat-trick.

EDWARD JAY (9) should be close to full fitness after four runs back from a spell, the latest at Marburg from behind the tapes when starting from 10m and finishing 2m from the winner. Trying to dictate here two starts back but fading late, he can follow through to issue a challenge.

LLANFAIR LLEWELLAN (8) tried to fend off the challengers at Redcliffe last start when 2nd behind PUMPKIN PAT. Meeting stronger opponents in his previous four, he will be probing for gaps.

FRANCO MACHO (5) was sent to the front last start at 2138 and after a steady opening half was unable to put them away. Runner-up his previous three in succession, he can feature.

SELECTIONS: OAKLEY SHARD (7), EDWARD JAY (9), LLANFAIR LLEWELLAN (8), FRANCO MACHO (5)
SUGGESTED BET: OAKLEY SHARD (7) to win
