Verdict

PHOENIX ARIZONA has improved on the back of a stable switch of late, finding only one too good over shorter here 2 weeks ago. He can confirm recent promise and shades preference over Sekakarma who also found only one too good latest. Last-time-out scorer Laska du Breuil and El Arco on debut for Gordon Elliott are others to consider.

  1. PHOENIX ARIZONA (IRE)
  2. SEKAKARMA (IRE)
  3. LASKA DU BREUIL (FR)
