Race 4 Predictor

The Predictor is a ‘Computer Generated’ predicted outcome of the race in visual form, generated by an algorithm of key factors (including eg current form, ratings and going.)

Race Verdict

Tarawa is a likely scorer at this level, but the likeliest winner is ZARINSK (nap) who was convincing in the Brownstown Stakes two weeks ago and for whom soft ground holds no fears. Power Under Me and the unexposed Lord Massusus should also go well. [Justin O’Hanlon] Source: Racing Post

SELECTION: ZARINSK

Next Best: Tarawa
