1600m – Turf
1 | Tulpar | Won a similar event last year, but disappointed twice for new connections. Still a class horse and can spring back to form. |
2 | Quick and Wild | Maiden winner in seven starts and not favoured by the weights. |
3 | Lady Sahara | Very good form last year but yet to recapture that this year, albeit tried in some quite strong company. |
4 | Bacarda | Second in similar event, albeit over 1200m. Stamina a question mark and not favoured by the weights. |
5 | Ice Baby | Late start to the season but latest run may have set her up for this. Slight stamina questions but in very good hands. |
6 | Royal Spirit | Has worked his way up and a handicap winner against elders latest. Well in and big shout for top connections. |
7 | Westwood | Impressive winner of his maiden, but more needed here. |
8 | Dragon Magic | Impressive winner of his only lifetime start, one for the shortlist for sure. |
9 | Royal Ice | Similar profile as Dragon Magic and open to improvement. Adrie de Vries chose to Dragon Magic however. |
10 | Querencia | Represents powerful connections and well in. |
11 | Ajuja | One of the lowest ratings and carries overweight, hard to fancy. |
12 | Daddy’s Heart | Thrown in at the deep end and hard to fancy. |
13 | Cahaya | Will be a long odds outsider. No obvious chance. |
14 | Mabel | Low rating but low weight, no obvious form chances but very shrewd connections who can pull a rabbit out of the hat. |
15 | Ostseesonne | Progress on second lifetime start but this is much tougher. |
16 | Twilight Dream | Impossible to fancy. |
