Useful colt. Won listed race in Argentina last year. 16/1, 3 lengths second of 16 to Six Speed in minor event at this course (7f) 21 days ago, clear of rest. Place chance.
|
Fair colt. 33/1, first run since leaving Jorge J. Rey when 12½ lengths ninth of 16 to Six Speed in minor event at this course (7f) 21 days ago. Uphill task.
|
Fair colt. One win from 2 runs last year. 5/1, first run since leaving Julio Olascoaga when second of 12 in handicap at Jebel Ali (9f) 13 days ago. Difficult ask.
|
One win from 2 runs last year. 7/2, won 16-runner minor event at this course (7f) 21 days ago by 3 lengths from Legalaized. Is a promising sort and can't be taken lightly.
|
Promising individual. Impressive when winning both starts over C&D, latest in 10-runner minor event 42 days ago by 3¼ lengths from Brotherly Love. Looks the one to beat.
|
Fairly useful colt. Course winner in November. 33/1, 7¾ lengths third of 16 to Six Speed in minor event at this course (7f) 21 days ago.
|
Fairly useful colt. Blinkered for 1st time, career best when winning 13-runner maiden at this C&D (15/8) 14 days ago by 4 lengths from Yamdeek. Has form to reverse with Devon Island but is expected to be bang there.
|
Course winner on debut. Excuses when 10 lengths fourth of 16 to Six Speed in minor event (8/11) at this course (7f) 21 days ago, slowly away and hampered home turn. Is the choice of O'Shea and remains open to improvement.
|
Won 7-runner minor event (9/2) at this course (6f) on debut 35 days ago. Steps up in trip and is open to improvement.
|
Fairly useful colt. Winner at Gulfstream in August. 60/10, third of 4 in minor event there (6.5f) 62 days ago. Up in trip. First run for yard after leaving Antonio Sano. Progressive but has work to do on form.
|
Fairly useful colt. Winner at Jebel Ali on debut in November. 25/1, 12 lengths seventh of 16 to Six Speed in minor event at this course (7f) 21 days ago.
|
Tongue strap on, won 12-runner maiden (10/1) at Jebel Ali (6f) on debut 13 days ago. Significantly up in trip and likely to improve.
|
Fairly useful colt. 6 lengths third of 13 to Brotherly Love in maiden at this C&D (13/8) 14 days ago, left with too much to do. Open to progress.
|
Thrice-raced winner. 33/1 and blinkered for 1st time, won 14-runner maiden at Dundalk (8f) 49 days ago. First run for yard after leaving Donnacha Aidan O'Brien. Pedigree doesn't scream dirt performer and it's easy to look elsewhere.
|
Modest colt. 16¾ lengths tenth of 16 to Six Speed in minor event (28/1) at this course (7f) 21 days ago. Hard to make a case for.
|
Fairly useful colt. 4 lengths second of 13 to Brotherly Love in maiden at this C&D (18/1) 14 days ago. Should progress but this is a big ask.
|
Forecasts
Devon Island (2/1), Six Speed (3/1), Lino Padrino (9/2), Legalaized (9/1), Raajehh (10/1), Brotherly Love (10/1), Awesome Fleet (18/1), Yamdeek (25/1), Yasup (28/1), Union Security (40/1), Duke Of Immatin (40/1), Senator Of State (50/1), Rammaas (50/1), Don Pelicano (50/1), Namaguederaz (80/1), Al Khawaneej (150/1)
DEVON ISLAND couldn't have looked more impressive when scoring the last twice and is the selection. Six Speed edges it for second from Legalaized, while Brotherly Love and Lino Padrino can't be ignored either.
- Devon Island2/1
