🤖 AI race preview

A slow-to-mid tempo is expected, with early leaders likely to come from the front-runners in draws 1 or 2, though the field’s depth and lack of recent form in the top tier suggest a contested start. John Galt stands out on form, having won at Leicester last month and finishing second in a similar trip at Southwell just three weeks prior, with a strong RPR of 76 and consistent performance under Saffie Osborne, despite a recent drop in class and a 142lb mark that may test his stamina. The main danger comes from Senor Cortez, who has been well beaten in his last two starts despite a strong RPR of 77 and a solid class drop, while Dino Bellagio, with a recent 3rd in a tough field and a 142lb mark, could make a late surge if the going is kind. Spooky Wooky, making his first appearance since a heavy defeat, and Baltic, who has struggled since a win in October, are each-way players at the forecast price with potential for a surprise finish.
