Forecasts

Divelment (9/4), Personified (5/2), Teologia (10/3), Borora Aura (15/2), Moon Aura (10/1), Aurevoir Tristesse (20/1), Schoolyard Days (20/1), Incredible Army (25/1), Royal Sapphire (40/1), Lilo Pelekai (50/1), Darwin's Angel (66/1)

Verdict

DIVELMENT showed fair form on turf last season and having run to a similar level with back-to-back third-place finishes at Dundalk earlier this year, he's the one to beat on first start since being gelded. Personified looks an interesting contender upped in trip, with stablemate Royal Sapphire one to keep an eye on in the betting.
