Australia gelding. Closely related to smart 9f winner Flop Shot and half-brother to useful 1¼m/11f winner Veritas. Worth a precautionary market check.

Forecasts

Obsidian Knight (11/10), New Force (4/1), Geminga (4/1), Wallaroo (5/1), Second Kingdom (9/1), Hobsons Bay (25/1), She Got The Look (80/1), Flying Instructor (80/1), The Worthy Brat (80/1), Silverhill Stamp (150/1), Induro De Fontaine (250/1), Konigsberg (250/1)

Verdict

OBSIDIAN KNIGHT made a promising start to his career when narrowly denied over C&D earlier in the month and is fancied to build on that and strike at the second time of asking. Geminga and Second Kingdom may give him most to do.

  1. OBSIDIAN KNIGHT (IRE)
  2. GEMINGA
  3. SECOND KINGDOM
