Speak Easy (2/1), Captain Cj (10/3), Minella Fair (4/1), Elwood (6/1), Milan Native (6/1), First Approach (6/1), Discordantly (10/1)

Verdict

Provided his last race in the Thyestes Handicap at Gowran Park did not take too much out of him then this drop back to novice company might be the key to MINELLA FAIR recording his first win since October. That win came at Limerick and he has produced solid performances on all his subsequent appearances and further rain will not lessen his chance of success. Captain Cj put in a fine effort last time out over course and distance and while probably needing to improve again, should put up a good account of himself. Discordantly needs to improve his jumping but if putting a clear round, he has the ability to win a race at this level.
  1. Minella Fair
  2. Captain Cj
  3. Discordantly
