Verdict

The Edward Lynam-trained MASALAI has a win and two places from three starts over C&D to his name and can add to that tally here following a pleasing run finishing third of 14 beaten 1L over the combination last month. The six-year-old can land the spoils in the final race ahead of C&D winner A Likely Story now back below last winning mark and the Mark Fahey-trained Cappadocia who has five wins to his name at this venue. Red All Star could go well if allowed to dictate early on from stall two.
  1. Masalai
  2. A Likely Story
  3. Cappadocia
