In depth
Verdict
A large field goes to post for this race but on closer inspection not many can be given a serious chance of winning and the principals look to be Ever Cheerful, Bajan Storm and Lizhar and the confident vote goes to Ever Cheerful. The two year old from the Bill Turner yard was a good fourth behind Vikings Bay last time and that form has since been franked with the drop in grade sure to suit he will be hard to beat.Bajan Storm rates the main danger he was a good second behind Turf Princess last time out and a reproduction of that effort would see him go close. Lizhar is also worthy of respect on her best form but her best effort has come over seven furlongs so for that reason is opposed on this occasion. Of the remainder Bookiesindexdotcom is sure to run his race but we are happy to side with Ever Cheerful.
