Betting Forecast

6/1 Abletai, 9/2 Atlantic Bridge, 9/4 Bold Commander, 50/1 Invincible Irish, 7/1 La Tache, 4/1 Litmus Test, 25/1 The Drambling Man, 16/1 Brageiro, 22/1 My Irish Lady, 18/1 Southern Boulevard, 18/1 Star Above Me, 66/1 Stellar Path

Verdict

A chance is taken that the 300,000 euros May Breeze-Up purchase, ATLANTIC BRIDGE will be ready enough on debut. Robson De Aguiar does well with juveniles, although stable form is slightly concerning. Bold Commander improved dropped to this trip last time and is of obvious interest with Moore aboard for the first time. Abletai sets the standard after he went close on his second start, but he was too keen at Listed level last time. Litmus Test is another of interest [Denis Harney]
