Verdict

There does not look to be an awful lot of pace on here and it could be left to Kilcare Castle, Star Councel or Goldmineinthesky to take the field along in the early stages. If not getting too far back initially the consistent SHANKLYS DAWN can land the spoils under Johnathan Moore with a couple of prominent racers Kilcare Castle and Goldmineinthesky hanging on for the minors.
  1. Shanklys Dawn
  2. Goldmineinthesky
  3. Killare Castle
