Verdict

This looks like so many of these races this year to boil down to a couple of main players with SAUSALITO SUNRISE and Diamond King in the starring roles this time around. The former should have won in easier style at Hexham last month but he still has a fair bit of class about him and in Alex Ferguson has the far more experienced pilot on board. The latter of the main duo bids to follow up for the team that took this last year and they have another good chance especially as their charge has been in fine form between the flags of late. It looks as though Silvergrove is the best of the remaining trio although this will be tougher than his win in a match at Fakenham last time.
  1. Sausalito Sunrise
  2. Diamond King
  3. Silvergrove
