Verdict

Not nearly as competitive as the numbers suggest and ARTIC CHIEF is taken to build on a very good recent C&D third and gain a breakthrough success off just a 2 lb higher mark here. Bayonetta is feared most on the back of a good Perth fourth after an absence, while Gangster Granny and Annarubyrose also need considering.

Horse Racing Basic Terms

Trifecta

A wager picking the first, second and third horses in the exact order. A trifecta box means paying more to ensure the horses can finish in any order in the top three spots.

Main Track Only

A horse entered for main track only (MTO) is one hoping the weather forecast or track conditions will move the race off the turf course and onto the main track. They are scratched the morning of the race if the conditions stay dry.

Blinkers

A hood worn on a horse’s head to limit side vision, which can improve concentration. Blinkers are added or removed to relax a horse or give it more focus.
