1500m – Turf

1 Grey Sparkle On a losing run but subsequently on a winning mark. Locally trained and has run well here.
2 Alexa’s Princess Changed hands for very little money and first start for current trainer. Plenty to find on ratings so probably best watched.
3 Lucia Aratori Off the mark at fourth attempt and without a win since. Steps back in class but hasn’t been given much leeway by the handicapper.
4 Nolito Clearly smart with two wins from only four lifetime starts. Mark on the rise and wide draw (13) to overcome, but Bauyrzhan Murzabayev booked and further improvement cannot be ruled out.
5 Noshowlikeajoeshow Nine starts in 2024 already, and winless this term. Last win in 2023, clearly on a potentially good mark and with a strong jockey booked.
6 Saba Storm Excellent record at this track, and hardly runs bad race at all. A winner two starts ago and on career-high mark as a consequence. Top jockey booked.
7 Savoya Lightly-raced 3yo filly with one win from seven starts, from a top yard. Form of her win doesn’t look strong though, and might struggle against seasoned handicappers.
8 Poyraz Approach Ambitiously campaigned so far. Single win in five starts came at lesser venue, this looks tougher despite track knowledge.
9 Donna Helma Won at this track and back down in class again after three losing runs this term. On winning mark and jockey a definite plus. Chances.
10 Crefelder Lightly raced 4yo. Handicap debut did not go to plan, drawn in stall 12 but well handicapped with some rivals and can improve.
11 Icatu One win in 13 starts and changed hands in 2024. Third start for new stable but no form in lesser races and jockey’s claim eliminated by overweight. Outside draw doesn’t help. Outsider.
12 Night Star Fresh from winning a similar race and has won and ran well at this track from slightly lower mark. Could go well again.
13 A Countach Trained at the track and creeps in on a very low weight, with strong rider booked. Chances.
14 Shoko Lady Not that many miles on the clock and with small a local trainer who has her team in good form. Slightly wrong in at the weights, but a winner at this track so cannot be ruled out.
