7 Kiss Me Sisu is going down in class, has an interesting lane and will compete barefoot behind. He is a quick starter and has a very good chance of winning from the lead.

4 J.C. is in top form and has been reliable which means he should reach a good position straight away.

3 Maranichi has two races under his belt and his form is on the way up. He will be dangerous if he can save the speed.

5 Dual Communication is in better form than the results show, but needs high pace and a bit of luck.

7 Messi B.R. has been very consistent and good at the end and is coming from victory. Is in good form and should have a good chance to win here.

6 Sweetwater has only one win in 15 starts but comes from a second place behind Messi B.R. He is looking for revenge here and has a slightly better lane.

2 G.K. Desmond won two races last year and is a little better than the latest results show. Good lane. Place bet.

1 S.K.'s Maharana has not won yet after 18 attempts. Is quite consistent though and could score a place from here.

8 Jackpot Magic faces tough conditions but is in top form and should have a good chance despite this tricky number. Has won three in a row this year and will probably take his fourth victory here.

2 Ihop won despite a gallop in the last race but has had a layoff since then. Nice draw and early challenger.

1 Kal El has started quite well and put in several good efforts. He will probably get a good trip from here.

3 Herbert L M did well last autumn but has had a break after the last race. A place bet.
