Verdict

A tight handicap in which top weight Gabrial has a major chance if able to replicate his Group race performances. It is a long time since he won, however, and there are rivals who may still be a small step ahead of the handicapper. These include Irish raider Sharp Defence and Khamaary, but the ones to fight it out may be the consistent War Glory and BREAKABLE. The latter loves this course, is in the form of her life and can defy a career-high mark.
  1. Breakable
