Forecasts

Ilhabela Fact (7/4), Sexy Beast (2/1), Groveman (9/4), Sweet Dime (8/1)

Verdict

A small field, but potentially a tricky opener. Ilhabela Fact has been campaigned almost exclusively on the Polytrack at Kempton (5-15) since joining Tony Carroll in late 2017. He makes his Tapeta debut on the back of a battling victory there just over three weeks ago. Meanwhile, Jedd O'Keeffe holds a strong hand with his two runners, Groveman and SWEET DIME. For small stakes, a chance is taken that the Dundalk winner can land the hat-trick on her first start for the stable (a 72,000gns purchase from Jessica Harrington in December). Sexy Beast can't be definitively dismissed but is probably best watched on his return from a 581-day absence.
