Verdict

A difficult race to pick a winner given uncertainties about many of the runners and a slight preference is given to FU'S ISLAND who has some of the best recent form and a certain level of consistency. She showed her well being with a decent third place finish at Gowran Park and if reproducing that here should go close. Mickey Shea has shown he has ability over hurdles and his chances will depend on how fit he is after a long absence. He is certainly capable of winning off his current mark. Should Divin Desir take to first time cheekpieces then his overall consistency suggests he could land a place at the very least.
  1. Fu's Island
  2. Mickey Shea
  3. Divin Desir
