🤖 AI race preview

Pace is likely to be steady with a midfield start, as several runners have shown headway over 2f out and strong late movements, though the field lacks clear leaders from recent runs. Pierre Grosse stands out with an OFR of 83 and a strong recent performance in a Down Royal handicap where he challenged late and finished second, indicating resilience under pressure and a proven ability to stay in contention; his draw of 1 and consistent form across varied conditions make him the one to beat. The main danger comes from Sakoku, who surged to second at Leopardstown with a clean headway and late charge, and Teoest, who showed improvement in a green run and could surprise with a late surge despite a lack of recent form; both offer each-way value due to their potential to make a late move.
