Verdict

MELBOURNE SHAMROCK is fancied to improve now sent handicapping by Emmet Mullins. He's readily preferred to Harry Des Ongrais who makes appeal off his lower hurdle mark, while D Art D Art may step forward from his recent reappearance.

  1. MELBOURNE SHAMROCK (IRE)
  2. HARRY DES ONGRAIS (FR)
