HIGH RISK

CAREER18:1-3

Jockey:Lacey Morrison

Trainer:Rodney Miller

Innovates has a low win strike rate but has placed a few times in his career. With Lacey Morrison in the saddle and a middle-to-wide barrier, he'll need to show significant improvement to challenge the top contenders.

Khamis has struggled to find the winner's circle, with only one win from 22 starts. While drawing an inside barrier is a plus, his overall form suggests he'll be tested against this field.
