On form and official ratings it is hard to oppose
PEARL NATION. He would be conceding upwards of 12lb to these in a handicap and it is worth noting he has gone well after layoffs previously. On a cautionary note his last win came 30 months ago and he has raced just eight times since. It is doubtful his trainer would risk this excellent servant to his yard if there were any issues, but he may not be one to risk at unrewarding odds.
Zaeem would be the one most likely to benefit should he underperform as he has been showing enough in better class to rate the main danger in this lineup. Irish raider
Bubbly Bellini has a good record here, but the veteran is not favoured by the weights and a place may be the best he can hope for.
