🤖 AI race preview

The race is likely to be contested at a moderate tempo with early leaders expected from horses with strong recent form, particularly Over Spiced, who pressed leaders over 1f out and kept on strongly in a higher-grade run at Sandown, with a solid RPR of 74 and a consistent track record over 5f. Over Spiced stands out as the most compelling contender, having produced a third-place finish in a Class 4 at Sandown under a favourable going and with a marked improvement in her recent run, despite a 142lb mark and a slight drop in class; her strong performance under Ashley Lewis and a draw of 5 place her in a favourable position. The main danger comes from Faustus, who showed late speed in a second-place finish at Windsor and has a strong RPR of 75, while Merrimack, though less consistent, has a solid recent run at Newbury and a draw of 8 that could allow him to challenge from midfield. Havana Jag, making her stable debut after a long layoff, and Artista, with a recent poor showing despite a 2yo success, are each-way players at the forecast price.
