Forecasts

Karalee (4/5), Lieutenant Colonel (13/8), Knockraha Pylon (9/1), Jaime Sommers (10/1)

Verdict

Although this is just a four-runner contest there are a number of traps that await in what could turn into a tactical battle. Jaime Sommers and Karalee have been shown to want less testing conditions than predicted and the latter may want a stiffer test. Knockraha Pylon is the most natural two-miler in this but lacks the class of her rivals. LIEUTENANT COLONEL is a dual Grade 1 winner whose best form has come over further. He travelled well for a long way last time though over 2m2f when just denied in a similar contest. The Gigginstown runner earns the vote by virtue of that effort and in the expectation he handles conditions better than Karalee.
  1. Lieutenant Colonel
  2. Jaime Sommers
  3. Karalee
