Top Three Contenders

1. Presentandcounting (IRE)
   • Pros: Highest total rating, in-form, C&D winner, good speed and trainer scores.
   • Cons: Previous wins in smaller fields, more competitive race now.
2. Hang In There (IRE)
   • Pros: High last-race rating, near top total rating, good second and third last-race performances.
   • Cons: Inconsistent performance this season.
3. La Domaniale (FR)
   • Pros: Past winner of this race, performs well on ‘good’ ground, not far behind in total ratings.
   • Cons: Poor performance in the last race but that was on soft ground.

Summary

Based on the data and notes, Presentandcounting is the strongest contender but has yet to prove itself in a more competitive field. Hang In There is in good form but lacks consistency, while La Domaniale has a good track record in this race and on ‘good’ ground but needs to bounce back from a poor last race. Overall, these three horses seem to be the ones to beat in the upcoming race.
