|---|---|---|---|---|

Loads of pressure, primarily from Life Goes On, Sardinia Bay and Love Shack. SARDINIA BAY (8) is a progressive type who has won his last two. Last run was favourite this course and distance and won with authority. Up in weight but still improving and expected to go close again. ALL ABOUT AL (3) was third behind Sardinia Bay last time and meets the winner 4kg better now. Fitter and has a strong record here at the trip. Definite danger again. IRELAND FOREVER (10) is fitter for two runs back and looks ready to win after placing last time here when beaten just a neck. Leading rider going on is a positive sign. LOVE SHACK (4) gave a sight last time but found one better when runner-up here at the same trip. Drawn to be prominent again.
