Solid tempo with The Irish leading from Nondisclosure and Big Ticket Boy.
DIVAKARA (6) loves racing at this circuit with two wins and five seconds from just eight spins and will be better for that first-up hit-out at Doomben. Sure to be right there when the whips are cracking. LINTHORPE LUCK (10) got a well-deserved victory over this course and distance last time out and gets in well at the weights with the 1.5kg claim. Can go back-to-back without surprising. NOVEMBER AIR (12) has placed two from two over this mile journey and hails from an astute barn. Nicely placed to give this a mighty shake. THE IRISH (5) is a stayer resuming who should be hitting the line with gusto. ZAHER (3) next in line. SUGGESTED PLAY: Backing Divakara.
