Codeshare (6/4), Final (9/4), On Fire (7/2), L'Inganno Felice (13/2), Be Perfect (20/1), Euchen Glen (20/1), Card High (50/1), Buthelezi (66/1), Main Fact (150/1)

Verdict

The hat-trick seeking Codeshare is likely to be all the rage following his fine run of recent form, but it's possible to just have a few doubts about him as he often doesn't appear to find as much off the bridle as visually one might expect. He also meets last time out maiden winner ON FIRE on far worse terms compared to their maiden clash here in December 2016, with the James Bethell trained runner now having the assistance of Paul Hanagan in the saddle (with PJ McDonald retained for L'Inganno Felice). He appears to get this trip without any problems, and can be fancied to gain his revenge on his old foe with Final considered most likely to fill the placings.
  1. On Fire
  2. Codeshare
  3. Final
