Forecasts

American Sonja (2/1), Curvature (5/1), Zarinsk (11/2), Tarawa (15/2), Clounmacon (9/1), Dame Kiri (9/1), Thornbrook (9/1), Comhra (22/1), Aspen Grove (25/1), Nightcliff (25/1), Delightful (25/1)

Verdict

Joseph O'Brien holds a strong hand here, with his representatives AMERICAN SONJA and Thornbrook both making plenty of appeal. The latter brings solid Group form to the table and is not passed over lightly but American Sonja impressed when landing a 7f Gowran handicap on her reappearance last month and she can be expected to take this step up in class/trip in her stride. The promising Tarawa is third choice ahead of Zarinsk.

  1. AMERICAN SONJA
  2. THORNBROOK (IRE)
  3. TARAWA (IRE)
