Trainer:Lou Mary

Has placed in two of three career starts, indicating consistency at this level. While the wide barrier is a concern, the horse has shown enough to suggest it's ready to break its maiden. With a bit of luck in running, Erniegy can be right in the finish.

Comes from the same in-form stable as Course Of Action and has a good barrier draw. While his debut was unplaced, he wasn't disgraced and can show significant improvement here with that run under his belt. Expect a much stronger performance second-up.

MEDIUM RISK

CAREER21:0-3

Jockey:Jean Van Overmeire

Trainer:Paul Isaac

Despite a long maiden campaign, Moon Treaty has shown glimpses of ability with three career placings. The inside barrier is a significant advantage, and a senior jockey takes the reins. If he can recapture his best form, he's a definite each-way chance in this field.

Another with a lengthy maiden career but has placed three times from 15 starts. The barrier is decent, and if she can find her best form, she could sneak into the placings. Consistency has been an issue, but the ability is there on occasion.

Has placed once from nine starts, suggesting he's capable of running into the money in a race like this. Raymond Spokes is a capable jockey, and the barrier is acceptable. Improvement is needed to win, but he's a live chance for a minor placing.

Has had five starts without placing, but comes from a stable that can get them to improve. The inside barrier is a plus, and Anna Roper is a strong apprentice. While she needs to lift, the potential for improvement is there in a weak maiden.
