MY MARIA 5/1
MY MARIA is the only confirmed front-runner — and this is a track where that matters: front-runners here win 2.5 times their share of these races. An uncontested lead could be decisive.
MY MARIA at 5/1, Archie Watson and Billy Loughnane, is the one I make it. He won last time out, runs a style that suits this track and comes from a yard in good heart at 23%.
The dangers are REX REGUM at 17/2 (went close off this mark) and TRUST YOURSELF at 13/2 (from a yard in form).
