Confidence
Medium · Tier B
How the race should unfoldWith eighteen runners and several confirmed front-runners engaged, the pace looks certain to be strong, and they are likely to tire each other out. That should help horses who settle off the pace and finish their race in the closing stages, rather than those trying to lead throughout.
1
Goldmoyne
Goldmoyne heads the market after practically winning last time out in a huge field, with his form still on an upward curve.
12% / —
2
Pilu
Pilu followed up his latest win with only a modest step up in class, and looks capable of winning again.
9% / —
3
Annaf
Annaf looks the most unexposed horse in the field and ran far better than his finishing position suggests last time, at a big price.
8% / —
4
First Legion
First Legion also won last time out, but his much bigger jump in grade makes him a touch riskier than Pilu.
7% / —
5
Northcliff
Northcliff won his last race too, but his rating rise already looks fuller, leaving him vulnerable at a short price.
6% / —
Red flags
Annaf's standout form came from an earlier run rather than his most recent one, so it's unclear how much of that edge remains.He is already seven years old, which leaves less scope for further improvement.A huge field and a likely scrappy, fast-run race add an element of unpredictability.
