Forecasts

Wicklow Brave (5/4), Sharjah (3/1), Joey Sasa (8/1), Ivanovich Gorbatov (8/1), Slowmotion (14/1), Tigris River (16/1), The Game Changer (22/1), Dr Mikey (25/1), Tully East (25/1), Plinth (40/1), Don't Touch It (40/1)

Verdict

SHARJAH boasts some good form on a sound surface from his days on the Flat in France and he can start to live up to the early promise he showed for this yard by taking what looks a competitive Grade 3 contest. The selection was highly tried in Grade 1 company during the spring and with improvement possible on the forecast good-to-firm going he can get the better of Wicklow Brave who has to concede weight to all of his rivals here. Slowmotion has some decent form to her name and receiving weight from all of her rivals she can finish third.
  1. Sharjah
  2. Wicklow Brave
  3. Slowmotion
