🤖 AI race preview

The race is likely to be contested at a moderate tempo with early leaders expected from the midfield, though the course and going suggest a field that may settle into a more balanced structure. Ealu Tapa stands out as the most consistent performer, having recorded a win at Ballinrobe under favourable conditions and showing improved headway and positioning in recent runs, with a strong RPR of 116 and a solid draw, while maintaining a steady weight and trainer form. The main dangers come from Kalico Leader, who showed resilience in a recent third-place finish despite a fall, and Rodeo Joe, a first-time hurdler with a promising performance at Clonmel and a strong RPR of 95, though his recent form is limited by a lack of consistent ground. Each-way value is present in both the first-time entries, with Spellitoutforme and Pat Os Rock offering potential appeal at the forecast price.
