Forecasts

Zabalan (7/2), Breathe Easy (9/2), Zeftan (6/1), Sister Blandina (7/1), Hamley (8/1), Elm Grove (10/1), Jeremy's Girl (10/1), Round Two (11/1), Flirt (14/1), Beau Et Sublime (14/1), The Last Marju (16/1), Western Boy (16/1), Castle Guest (20/1), Clonard Street (25/1), Storm Rising (33/1), Our Channel (66/1)

Verdict

Having run some very promising races recently perhaps SISTER BLANDINA can take advantage of conditions that should suit to land the spoils here. Unlike many of these, this trip should be perfect for her and given how well she's been running recently she should be more than capable of winning a race of this nature off her current mark. She is the suggestion ahead of Zabalan, who is unexposed and could have plenty of improvement in him, and Elm Grove, who now finds herself pitched at a far more suitable level.
  1. Sister Blandina
  2. Zabalan
  3. Elm Grove
