2000m – Turf
1 |
Nepalo |
Already a three-time winner this term and on career-high mark as a consequence. Track and trip fine, with a possible prejudice towards a soft surface. |
2 |
Donner Earl |
Reliable sort who rarely runs a bad race and now on a career high mark. A winner at a lower level under this jockey. |
3 |
Felippo |
Solid handicapper running at his best trip. On career high mark but claiming rider booked. Place possibilities. |
4 |
Rose Of Lips |
Local raider with interesting jockey booked. Track and trip fine, chances. |
5 |
Lucky Eye |
Relatively lightly raced 4yo who seems to struggle off his current handicap mark. Good jockey booked, but needs to step up on recent form considerably. |
6 |
Saludos |
7yo very much capable of decent form still. Latest finished last in G3 in July, a race beyond his capabilities. |
7 |
Free Lips |
Locally trained and talented apprentice book whose 11lb claim is reduced by overweight. Tough task on this seasonal debut. |
8 |
Alisto King |
Well-bred horse whose talent doesn’t match that of his illustrious parents. Hasn’t run in Germany for over a year. An outsider. |
9 |
Duke’s Spirit |
One win in 13 starts, over today’s trip in July 2023. Out of form since so hard to recommend. |
10 |
Vancouver |
Scored his sole career win over this course and distance last September. Creditable runs in defeat though, handicap mark ok so no forlorn hope. |
11 |
Iliano |
Small yard who does have winners at this level and operates at a good strike rate. On a decent mark and clearly one for the shortlist. |
12 |
Paris Mon Amour |
Not disgraced in a handicap last start on 28 July under claimer. Top Jockey takes over now, so connections clearly ask for improvement. |
