Verdict

A tight handicap but Denis Hogan's pair look interesting and EASTERN RACER's recent form is promising enough., Atlas is another Hogan winner in good form but the four-year-old filly Innamorare looks the main danger given her prolific strike-rate.
  1. Eastern Racer
  2. Innamorare
  3. Atlas
