🤖 AI race preview

The race is likely to be paced in a steady, mid-to-late tempo with early leaders expected to be challenged by those with strong recent run-in form, particularly Gangster Granny, who finished first at Downpatrick two weeks ago with a strong headway and consistent position in the field. Gangster Granny stands out with a recent win at Downpatrick under pacesetting conditions, a solid RPR of 124, and a clear pattern of staying in contention through the run-in despite early setbacks, while also benefiting from a favourable draw and a consistent trainer record in similar conditions. The main danger comes from Samba Train, who has shown resilience in midfield and strong late-running ability despite a recent stumble, and Joya Del Mar, who has demonstrated form in the same conditions with a recent third-place finish and a competitive RPR of 121, making her a notable each-way player at the forecast price.
