🤖 AI race preview

The race is likely to see a midfield-to-fore-run tempo with Poetic Focus emerging as the most consistent performer, having led after the last in a recent run at Ballinrobe and showing resilience under pressure with a strong RPR of 105 and a solid 87 OFR, despite a recent dip to 13th in Sligo. His recent form, including a second in a competitive field at Ballinrobe and a mid-pace performance at Bellewstown, combined with a well-structured draw and steady progression, makes him the one to beat in a yielding going environment. The main danger comes from Tantrum Boy, who surged to second at Wexford just 10 days ago with a strong headway and consistent performance in recent outings, while Las De Watt, with a high RPR of 103 and a top-three finish at Kilbeggan, presents a sharp each-way player at the forecast price due to his ability to take keen hold and maintain position.
