Cork Derby

This looks to be a fiercely competitive renewal of the Cork Derby and plenty will arrive down at post fancying their chances. Last year's winning trainer/jockey combination have fair claims with Sikandarabad, who is closely matched with Le Vagabond on their previous meeting here over 2f shorter and both should go well again. My Brother and Sea The Lion are respected on recent runs while the improving filly Zamira could easily take another step forward. The two to focus on however might be Mawaany, two from two since arriving in this country, and SPRUCE MEADOWS. The latter ran a fine race behind Glamourous Approach at the Curragh previously and the form could be boosted in the previous race. Either way, the Intikhab gelding shouldn't be far away if repeating that performance.

1. Spruce Meadows
2. Mawaany
3. Zamira
