Verdict

A race to open the final Flat card of the season that lacks strength in depth and should give MACHREE a chance of getting off the mark after she moved like the best horse in the race at York last time but was undone by her inexperience. She should know a lot more this time around and can put the ex-French filly Serabrina in her place although that one has shown enough to be able to put up a fight in this. The rest of the field looks pretty ordinary with the only winner in the field Bahuta Acha having to give weight away to all and that makes life difficult although his form so far looks good enough to grab the minor place over the O’Meara duo Loulin and Liamba.
  1. Machree
  2. Serabrina
  3. Bahuta Acha
