🤖 AI race preview

Puppet Master leads the pace appeal with a consistent forward presence in recent runs, showing strength over 2f out and maintaining a prominent position despite weakening in the final furlong, supported by a strong RPR of 123 and a recent 3rd at Curragh in yielding conditions. He stands out as the most consistent performer in form, with a clear pattern of racing in the lead or near the front, backed by a 120 OFR and a recent run-in where he was ridden effectively over the final stretch, making him the hardest to oppose in a field where pace is likely to be set early. The main danger comes from Speisialta, who led in two of his last three runs and showed resilience in the early stages despite a recent dip in form, while Combs, with a 1st in a recent run-in and a strong draw, offers a notable each-way player at the forecast price.
