Why Im Singled Up: Brings the best recent figures into the race. Finished 2nd in her last start, a head behind the winner. Proven at this kind of distance.

- 6Top pickLowkeylegendInirio J · Martinez Sarah
Why Lowkeylegend: Last start was a clear jump forward for him. Holds a small speed edge in a bunched-up field. Can use his gate speed to get first run in this sprint.
Value play1 Atta Boy Peter Roy
Dismissed at 20-1 in his last start, but fits this field. Gets a softer spot after running against maiden special weight company. By Imperial Hint, and bred to handle the sprint.

Why Millie's Stardust: Trending the right way, with each of her last three better than the one before. Narrowly the fastest on recent figures. Can use her gate speed to get first run in this sprint.

Value play7 Backfire
The public let him go at 25-1 last out, and the ratings say that was a mistake. Three straight races of improvement. Closes well, and the early fight up front should come back to him.
