Verdict

Betting in races of this nature can make your hair go 'Curly', as most of these will undoubtedly be better for the experience. Richard Fahey has done his bit to make the puzzle a bit more difficult by sending out three with a live chance - Ajwan just edges the nomination ahead of Foxxy Brown as the leading hope from his yard. However, Michael Dodds also knows what it takes to win this race and with his contender, MECCA'S MINSTREL, being one of the more expensive purchases in the line up, Dodds gets the nod as the man to follow. Support for Validator would also be dangerous to ignore but this is a tough race and she doesn't appeal as a stand-out at short odds.
  1. Mecca's Minstrel
  2. Ajwan
  3. Validator
