Our view

Best selection: Carnival Day. 17 days since its last run, a sensible gap; trainer Jim Boyle has had 30 winners from 326 runners in our recent records.

The case against: Charmaine is close on the numbers; handicap marks are meant to level the field; we can't yet confirm how it handles standard / slow ground from our own records.

Others to consider: Charmaine and Wonder.
