Verdict

Sligo winner Kastasa along with runner-up Hayyel and Cuban Surfer are all arriving here in good form and have decent prospects, while Aera ran a pleasing race on debut for these connections at Gowran Park and the German import should be fitter now meeting a longer trip. Preference though is for ALTAIR, 2-3 prior to be outclassed at Royal Ascot in June and a danger to all now switching attention to a handicap after a short break.
  1. Altair
  2. Aera
  3. Cuban Surfer
