Verdict

Not So Sleepy won this race last year and returns on the same handicap mark but preference is for AJMAN KING who arrives here bidding for his fourth straight success. The handicapper has only been able to put him up 5lb given the narrow margin of his latest success and there's a suspicion the two time course and distance winner is still well-handicapped here. Brorocco was in good form towards the end of last season and has a course and distance win to his name as does Dark Red who gets Ryan Moore for assistance.
  1. Ajman King
  2. Brorocco
  3. Dark Red
