Forecasts

Pacini (5/4), Green Sky (85/40), Hey Whatever (11/2), Tranquil Sea (10/1), Superbolt (14/1), Lunar Landscape (16/1), National Emblem (25/1), So Messi (80/1), Clady River (150/1), Tasmanian Girl (200/1)

Verdict

PACINI has shown enough on both his starts over hurdles to suggest he can win a race of this nature, so he's fancied to make it third time lucky. Hey Whatever, a stablemate of the selection, is preferred to Green Sky for forecast purposes.

  1. PACINI
  2. HEY WHATEVER (IRE)
  3. GREEN SKY (IRE)
