Verdict

DELTA ROMEO left the impression he would have finished closer with a clear run over C&D last time and this doesn't look a strong contest, so a chance is taken on him to get the better of Havana Pearl, who hasn't had much racing and arrives on the back of a couple of solid efforts. Circles also makes the shortlist.

  1. DELTA ROMEO (IRE)
  2. HAVANA PEARL (IRE)
  3. CIRCLES (IRE)
