🤖 AI race preview

The race is likely to see a steady early pace with a midfield or slightly front-running tempo, favouring runners with consistent headway and strong RPRs, and Limestone Red stands out as the most compelling with a solid 47 OFR and 64 RPR, having recorded two second-place finishes in the last two runs with clear headway and improved running in the final furlong, despite a modest draw and a recent class drop from a higher-rated field. Miss Australie, though carrying a heavy 148lbs, made a strong start in her most recent run at Navan, showing headway under two furlongs and chasing clear, with a 66 OFR and 62 RPR suggesting she could challenge in the early stages, making her a hard-to-oppose contender. The main dangers are God Of Thunder, who showed resilience in a tough run at Sligo despite a poor finish, and No More Hiding, who has improved in recent outings with consistent headway and a solid 54 RPR, both of whom could threaten in the stretch; Piatra Neamt, making his first appearance in headgear, and Princess Rosie, a first-time HT with a 51 RPR, offer each-way appeal at the forecast price.
