Verdict

DRACO PULCHRAC is handicapped to win and the return to this trip could see her get back to her best, so she's preferred to Nevada Brave who ran with credit over C&D last time. Fairytale Princess is another one to consider.

  1. DRACO PULCHRAC (IRE)
  2. NEVADA BRAVE (IRE)
  3. FAIRYTALE PRINCESS (IRE)
