Verdict

The top three in the weights all appear to have their hands pretty full based on recent efforts, with perhaps Moviesta preferred of the trio. It can pay to look elsewhere though and GO KART was excellent in a much tougher race at the Curragh last weekend. The consistent filly may take this prize with a similar effort now. Strategic Force is capable of running a big race on these terms and is much-respected while Accalia could also outrun her odds.
