RACE COMMENT
CLARENDEN SAKURA (6) doesn’t have attractive form at the moment but if she could get some luck and lob into a quiet position during the run then this is the sort of race where she could be a major improver.JAWSOFGOODTIME (4) was impressive last start when he led all of the way on a wet track. He is worth consideration again despite the trickier draw.PERSIUS (3) and HUGH GO (5) are also chances.
