African Spirit heads this field on our figures, rated 61 and narrowly ahead of these rivals after finishing third last time out. He has run over today’s trip and going before, and that experience allied to the leading figure makes him the one to beat. King Sharja, Ryefield and Walk On Walk On all sit close behind on our figures and represent the biggest dangers to that plan, each within a few pounds of the selection. African Spirit is our selection, with this tightly-bunched field keeping overall confidence measured.
The strongest back form in this race belongs to AFRICAN SPIRIT, who was once rated around 30lb higher than the current mark.
The horse’s third-place finish last time out showed there is still plenty of ability left. On a going day, AFRICAN SPIRIT will be very difficult to beat.
Selection: AFRICAN SPIRIT – Win
