Verdict

SPECIFIC GRAVITY has every chance at the weights and arrives on the back of a good effort at Clonmel when headed on the post. He’s preferred to both Highly Toxic and Sbraase with the former disappointing at Limerick last week and the latter having only his second start for new connections. It’s difficult to assess Delaire’s winning form in Germany as he debuts for a new yard but Adimelo has only his second start under this code having won bumper and hurdle races.
