Verdict

Bottom-weight RODEO BLUES produced an improved effort on handicap debut last time and it'd be no surprise if she built on that again for the Joseph O'Brien yard. Khormor Syd and Nephin Mountain can complete the 1-2-3.

  1. RODEO BLUES (IRE)
  2. KHORMOR SYD (IRE)
  3. NEPHIN MOUNTAIN (IRE)
