Lequinto (10/11), Roach Power (9/2), Sarafina Mshairi (13/2), Merrimack (8/1), Aces Wild (11/1), Faustus (18/1), The Defiant (20/1), Horus (40/1)

Verdict

The penalties are mounting up for LEQUINTO but he had lots in hand at Windsor on Monday and should take all the beating again. The speed Roach Power has shown in recent starts suggests this drop to 5f may help and he's second choice ahead of lightly-raced 3-y-o Sarafina Mshairi.

  1. LEQUINTO (IRE)
  2. ROACH POWER (IRE)
  3. SARAFINA MSHAIRI
