Forecasts

Blue Bolt (4/5), Precise (3/1), True Love (15/2), Fallen Angel (8/1), City Of Memphis (9/1), Carolina Jetstream (66/1), Pivotal Attack (80/1), Duckadilly (125/1), Meriden (125/1)

Verdict

BLUE BOLT has got the better of Precise in Group 1s on her last 2 starts so she'll be hard to beat again with this race having reportedly been her main target for a while. Precise rates the main threat again back on home soil, though the unexposed City of Memphis probably has more to offer still.

  1. BLUE BOLT (IRE)
  2. PRECISE (IRE)
  3. CITY OF MEMPHIS (IRE)
