Verdict

SHONA MEA has run well on both starts this year and was strong at the finish when second at Gowran last time, so she's marginally preferred to Khafaaq, who filled the same position at that track just a week ago. Rockview Roman is also worthy of consideration.

  1. SHONA MEA (IRE)
  2. KHAFAAQ
  3. ROCKVIEW ROMAN (IRE)
