Race Overview
Consistent DENIA (11) is one of three joint top-rated runners in the lineup but offers the most guarantees with Cristian Demuro a noteworthy jockey engagement. Reliable SLEEPY SUZY (4) and out-of-sorts COLBY CHOP (7) have shown enough to be competitive in a race of this nature. Enigmatic LES ALDUDES (6), lastr-start 2nd LAKE NAIVASHA (3) and inconsistent MAFALDA STORY (5) are three other mares capable of staking a claim too.
