Preview of the meeting at Naas on Wednesday evening.

·

1. 17:07 Naas – Irish Stallion Farms EBF Maiden (5f 205y, 2yo, Yielding)

Pace Angles: The race is projected to have an even pace. CACTUS, NANDO LILY, WHATCHADOIN, and CISTERNA are the most likely to feature prominently in the second half of the race.

Draw Bias: There is a bias against low numbers on yielding ground in this 17-runner field, with high and middle draws appearing more advantageous.

Runner Comments:

    ◦ CACTUS: Made a strong debut, finishing third in a big-field maiden (TFR 73, Adj 85). Her Timefig of 86 is solid, and she was notably not fully ridden out. Holds Group 1 entries. She is well drawn (stall 5) and is expected to go forward today, with breeding suggesting improvement for longer distances. (Overall Suitability: 9/10).

    ◦ KRASIMIR: G.M. Lyons’ colt was green on debut but finished third (Adj 78), shaping as if 7f+ would suit. He is sure to progress. May be slightly compromised by his draw (13) if held up. (Overall Suitability: 7/10).

    ◦ WATCH TOWER: Debuts for the same yard as Krasimir. A €260,000 yearling with siblings who progressed early. Well-bred and visually appears the more forward of the two Lyons entries on paper. Drawn 11 and likely to be prominent early (positive pace profile). (Overall Suitability: 7/10).

    ◦ HOT HOT: Unraced colt by Too Darn Hot. His dam line suggests stamina. Trainer Mrs J. Harrington has a decent record with debut juveniles. Noted as costing more than average for the yard. Drawn in 10, which is workable. (Overall Suitability: 7/10).

    ◦ CHICAGO POPE: By Starspangledbanner and a well-bought (€150,000Y) colt. The yard has a decent record with juveniles. His pace profile suggests tactical flexibility (stall 6). Market watch advised. (Overall Suitability: 6/10).

    ◦ RED EARTH: Brother to Servalan, bred for speed. His dam was a winner at 7f+. Drawn in 16 with positive pace hints, making him an interesting speculative runner. (Overall Suitability: 6/10).

    ◦ CHANGING DIRECTION: By Bungle Inthejungle and from a useful family. Has a neutral draw (4). May be underestimated on debut. (Overall Suitability: 5/10).

    ◦ CANTILEVER: Has a nice pedigree. (Overall Suitability: 5/10).

    ◦ CISTERNA: Finished well beaten on debut but has been gelded since. Her draw (17) may help. (Overall Suitability: 4/10).

    ◦ SUBIACO: Pedigree is acceptable, but there is no known form to assess. (Overall Suitability: 3/10).

    ◦ DOWN THE GLEN: Showed slight progress in his last run compared to his debut, but is unlikely to win today. (Overall Suitability: 3/10).

    ◦ WHITE SMOKE: Has no form and a bad draw (1). (Overall Suitability: 2/10).

    ◦ STONE BEAR: Well held on debut with little to recommend. (Overall Suitability: 2/10).

    ◦ GREEN UNIVERSE: Has shown poor efforts in two Rules maidens on turf, receiving early reminders in his latest start. (Overall Suitability: 2/10).

    ◦ WHATCHADOIN: Was well held in his maiden with nothing to suggest improvement. (Overall Suitability: 2/10).

    ◦ ELZA DIVA: Showed the weakest effort on debut. Drawn acceptably, but hard to fancy. (Overall Suitability: 1/10).

    ◦ NANDO LILY: A cheap purchase who struggled badly on her debut. (Overall Suitability: 1/10).

    ◦ CACTUS – 5/2

    ◦ WATCH TOWER – 6/1

    ◦ KRASIMIR – 13/2

    ◦ CHICAGO POPE – 9/1

    ◦ RED EARTH – 10/1

    ◦ CANTILEVER – 16/1

    ◦ Others – 25/1+

ChatGPT Smart Plays:

    ◦ Win Selection: CACTUS – Marked out by her strong debut and Group entries.

    ◦ Each-Way Saver: KRASIMIR – Showed nice shape on debut and is a likely improver.

2. 17:37 Naas – ARQANA Irish EBF Marwell Stakes (Listed) (5f, 2yo Fillies, Yielding)

Pace Angles: A very strong pace is forecast, with CARDIFF BY THE SEA, DUSKAURA, and HAVANA ANNA all likely to go forward. This setup should favor fillies with stamina who can sit off the pace and close strongly. The strong pace will likely harm IPANEMA QUEEN while benefiting CARDIFF BY THE SEA.

Draw Bias: There is no significant draw bias noted for this trip on yielding ground at Naas; tactics and positioning are expected to outweigh draw factors.

Runner Comments:

    ◦ CARDIFF BY THE SEA: Confirmed her debut promise by finishing fourth in the Group 2 Queen Mary Stakes (TFR 95+, Adj 107+) and is very much on the up. Versatile on ground and bred to stay 6f. Although the strong pace could test her aggressive racing style, she sets the standard, especially with a kind draw in stall 1 to manage the early pace. (Overall Suitability: 9/10).

    ◦ HAVANA ANNA: Destroyed a Naas maiden by 6 lengths last time (Adj 104), despite carrying her head awkwardly. Her pace profile suggests she will be in the vanguard early, but she has shown the ability to quicken decisively. Her trainer is in top form, and she is proven at the track. (Overall Suitability: 8/10).

    ◦ LAM YAI: Took a big step forward at Carlisle, traveling powerfully and finding plenty (Adj 89+). Still lightly raced and open to improvement. May benefit from a strong tempo, though stall 2 could see her shuffled early. (Overall Suitability: 7/10).

    ◦ IPANEMA QUEEN: Made an impressive debut (Adj 101) at the Curragh but over-raced in a deeper race at Royal Ascot. She has been freshened, and if ridden with restraint, the strong pace could suit. Well-drawn in 3, she can bounce back if settling better. (Overall Suitability: 7/10).

    ◦ SOLANA ROSE: Improved to win nicely at Ripon (TFR 97p) after a solid York run. Well-related and should stay 6f. This is a step up, but her trainer is red-hot, and she could track the speed from mid-pack. (Overall Suitability: 6/10).

    ◦ MAGNY COURS: Has a “Horse in Focus” tag, indicating hidden potential despite a poor run at Ascot. Won on debut with a strong finish and a decent TFR (88p). If her Ascot run can be excused (went too hard), she may out-run her odds as a strong closer. (Overall Suitability: 6/10).

    ◦ DUSKAURA: Achieved a gutsy win at Ripon last time, but her overall form is behind the leading rivals (Adj 87). Her early pace might lead to early pressure here, and this looks a tougher contest. (Overall Suitability: 5/10).

    ◦ WATEEN: Non-runner (NR).

Private Tissue Estimate:

    ◦ CARDIFF BY THE SEA – 13/8

    ◦ HAVANA ANNA – 3/1

    ◦ IPANEMA QUEEN – 7/1

    ◦ LAM YAI – 8/1

    ◦ SOLANA ROSE – 12/1

    ◦ MAGNY COURS – 14/1

    ◦ DUSKAURA – 20/1

ChatGPT Smart Plays:

    ◦ Win Selection: CARDIFF BY THE SEA – A top-class juvenile with the best form and scope.

    ◦ Value Angle: IPANEMA QUEEN – Will relish a fast pace if she settles; her Ascot run can be forgiven.

3. 18:10 Naas – NFP Handicap (5f 205y, 3yo+, Yielding)

Pace Angles: This race is expected to be strongly run, with multiple pace pushers like JON RIGGENS, TROPICAL RETREAT, and DUSKAURA. This suggests that hold-up types or mid-division stalkers could be best suited.

Draw Bias: A bias against low draws continues at Naas over this trip. Middle-to-high stalls are favored, especially if the pace collapses late.

Runner Comments:

    ◦ TROPICAL RETREAT: A 3yo filly who is thriving, scoring decisively over C&D last time from off the pace. She has scope to improve further, and her wide draw in 13 suits her. Effective on yielding ground, and Timeform’s adjusted mark (86) suggests she is still fairly treated. A major player. (Overall Suitability: 8/10).

    ◦ COLLECTIVE POWER: A well-handicapped runner who has continually caught the eye in defeat. He ran well in his last race despite poor tactical positioning. He stays 6f strongly and is better drawn here (10). If he gets a clean run, he can finally capitalize. (Overall Suitability: 7/10).

    ◦ I BID YOU AJOU: His form has plateaued slightly after a prolific run, but he ran credibly at 7f last time and drops back to 5f 205y here. He travels strongly and should get cover from stall 2. A concern is potential traffic given his run style and draw, but he is in top form. (Overall Suitability: 7/10).

    ◦ COLD HEARTED: Has a solid recent profile and finished fifth in a strong Curragh handicap. Should be suited by the strong pace and shapes like a solid 6f horse. Her slightly wide draw in stall 14 is a positive. (Overall Suitability: 7/10).

    ◦ CARRIGANS GROVE: Has solid C&D form and ran credibly in a big field last time. Drawn ideally in 7 and will stalk the pace. Worth considering as an each-way player. (Overall Suitability: 6/10).

    ◦ JON RIGGENS: Was below form on reappearance but is lightly campaigned and his course form is notable. His effort last year (Adj 89) still stacks up, and he is likely fitter now. A live outsider. (Overall Suitability: 6/10).

    ◦ IRISH RUMOUR: Was better than she appeared last time, and the shape of this race should suit her. From stall 3, she will need luck, but previous big-field form offers encouragement. (Overall Suitability: 6/10).

    ◦ SEND HARRY: Has solid recent form but is exposed and has a wider draw (15). (Overall Suitability: 5/10).

    ◦ GORDON BENNETT: Is well handicapped, but his draw (1) is not ideal. (Overall Suitability: 5/10).

    ◦ SHONEY: Has promise but needs a better performance in this field. (Overall Suitability: 5/10).

    ◦ NAVAL ENSIGN: Is inconsistent but has a sneaky draw position (9). (Overall Suitability: 4/10).

    ◦ PUNK POET: Lacks current form and has questionable recent runs. (Overall Suitability: 4/10).

    ◦ ROSATO: Is losing form, and others are preferred. (Overall Suitability: 3/10).

    ◦ JERED MADDOX: Primarily an AW performer, with a big drop-off on turf. (Overall Suitability: 3/10).

    ◦ SUNDAY SOVEREIGN: An aging profile; a pace collapse might help him. (Overall Suitability: 3/10).

    ◦ CLONMACASH: A decent type, but his profile is exposed. (Overall Suitability: 3/10).

    ◦ SATURN SEVEN: Non-runner (NR).

Private Tissue Estimate:

    ◦ TROPICAL RETREAT – 5/1

    ◦ COLLECTIVE POWER – 6/1

    ◦ I BID YOU AJOU – 13/2

    ◦ COLD HEARTED – 13/2

    ◦ CARRIGANS GROVE – 10/1

    ◦ JON RIGGENS – 12/1

    ◦ IRISH RUMOUR – 12/1

    ◦ Others – 16/1+

ChatGPT Smart Plays:

    ◦ Win Selection: TROPICAL RETREAT – A thriving 3yo with an ideal setup.

    ◦ Each-Way Saver: COLLECTIVE POWER – A proven handicapper who is due a clear run.

4. 18:40 Naas – Yeomanstown Stud Irish EBF Stakes (Listed) (5f 205y, 3yo+, Fillies & Mares, Yielding)

Pace Angles: A very weak pace is expected, with no natural front-runners, and most key runners generally racing off the pace. This setup strongly favors those capable of sitting handy or showing tactical speed early. SKY MAJESTY and SPARKLING SEA appear best positioned tactically.

Draw Bias: There is no clear draw bias noted over this trip on yielding ground. However, in a slowly-run contest, inside draws may confer a slight advantage due to tactical control.

Runner Comments:

    ◦ SUPER SOX: Group 3-placed and a Listed winner in 2024. Her final start (4th in a G3) was strong given she was held up in a pace-favored race. She is absent for 297 days, but her stable’s layoff record is excellent. Timeform suggests this return trip is manageable despite a preference for stamina. (Overall Suitability: 8/10).

    ◦ SKY MAJESTY: Ran creditably in the G1 Commonwealth Cup last time and is taking a big class drop. Her 2yo form is top-class, including a Group 2 win in France. She can race handily, which gives her a tactical edge here. Unbeaten at 6f outside Group 1s. (Overall Suitability: 8/10).

    ◦ SPARKLING SEA: A useful Naas winner over C&D last season. Has shaped well in small fields this term, notably when third in a Listed race last time. Appears best positioned tactically. (Overall Suitability: 7/10).

    ◦ CARLA RIDGE: A capable filly who was a solid fourth in a Guineas Trial earlier this year. She was overmatched in a G1 at Ascot, and the drop back to 6f is a risk as her pedigree leans towards 7f/1m. Will need the pace to pick up late. (Overall Suitability: 6/10).

    ◦ LADY WITH THE LAMP: An early-season Listed winner, but then below form in G1 company. A slowly-run race will not suit her closing style, and her draw in 1 could trap her if she doesn’t break sharply. Still respected on her 3yo form. (Overall Suitability: 6/10).

    ◦ CHARASSON: A Curragh maiden winner last time with a strong late finish. Her Timefig of 82 is modest, but she is well-bred and could improve quickly. Not out of this if the pace proves slower than slow. (Overall Suitability: 5/10).

    ◦ BELLAPHINA: A likeable type who consistently runs to solid handicapping figures. Her place form is strong, but she may find one or two classier types too sharp here. (Overall Suitability: 5/10).

    ◦ NAVASSA ISLAND / GREATEST DRAMA / UNEXPECTED ISSUES: These runners are considered outclassed on figures and/or exposed. (Overall Suitability: 3–4/10).

    ◦ BONUS TIME: Non-runner (NR).

    ◦ LITTLE QUEENIE: Non-runner (NR).

Private Tissue Estimate:

    ◦ SKY MAJESTY – 5/2

    ◦ SUPER SOX – 3/1

    ◦ SPARKLING SEA – 6/1

    ◦ CARLA RIDGE – 7/1

    ◦ LADY WITH THE LAMP – 8/1

    ◦ BELLAPHINA – 14/1

    ◦ CHARASSON – 16/1

    ◦ Others – 20/1+

ChatGPT Smart Plays:

    ◦ Win Selection: SKY MAJESTY – The best blend of class and tactical positioning.

    ◦ Each-Way Saver: SPARKLING SEA – A C&D winner with upside in a tactically tricky race.

5. 19:10 Naas – O’NEILL & co. APPRENTICE HANDICAP (1m, 4yo+, Yielding)

Pace Angles: A strong pace is predicted. Prominent racers are usually favored at this trip here. The strong pace is still expected to benefit POPPADOM rather than OBAMA ARMY, despite general expectations.

Draw Bias: There is a bias against high draws at this track and trip.

Runner Comments:

    ◦ OBAMA ARMY: A modest handicapper on turf, fair on all-weather. He confirmed his return to form when fourth in his last run. He is undoubtedly lurking on an exploitable mark now switched back to turf. Wears a tongue tie. (Considered a key horse in analyst verdict).

    ◦ TYNAMITE: A modest handicapper who confirmed his return to form with a third-place finish last time. Hot trainer. Has worn headgear. (Considered a key horse in analyst verdict).

    ◦ STILL SHE BLOOMS: A fair handicapper who won last time at Killarney, making all under an enterprising ride. She wears a hood. (Considered a key horse in analyst verdict).

    ◦ RODERICK: A modest handicapper who has been runner-up three times this year and finished a respectable fifth last time. He wears headgear and a tongue tie, and is noted as lazy. (Considered a key horse in analyst verdict).

    ◦ ASISAID: A modest handicapper who ran creditably last time. She usually wears headgear. (Considered a key horse in analyst verdict).

    ◦ POPPADOM: A modest maiden who finished second in a handicap in June but was below form last time. She races mainly at shorter distances. (Included in betting forecast).

    ◦ PINK SOCKS: A fair handicapper whose best effort this season came last time. She was tried in blinkers. (Included in betting forecast).

    ◦ HARRIET EAGLE: A modest handicapper who has been below form in her last four starts. (Included in betting forecast).

    ◦ MISS ABBY JOOLS: A fair handicapper who was below form last time. (Included in betting forecast).

    ◦ HARBANAKER: A modest handicapper who won in April but has been below form in his last two starts. He usually wears a tongue tie. (Included in betting forecast).

    ◦ MY VONNIE: Non-runner (NR). (Included in betting forecast).

    ◦ MONZOON: A modest handicapper who has been below form in his last three starts. He has worn blinkers and a tongue tie. (Included in betting forecast).

    ◦ VANGELIS: A modest maiden who was well held last time. (Included in betting forecast).

    ◦ LEDGER: A modest handicapper whose best recent effort was in June. He has worn headgear and a tongue tie. (Included in betting forecast).

    ◦ GOLDSMITH: A fair handicapper who was lightly raced since 2024 wins and showed a step in the right direction last time. He wears headgear. (Included in betting forecast).

    ◦ I’VE BEEN DREAMING: A modest performer who looked rusty last time after being gelded and a long absence. (Included in betting forecast).

    ◦ MY MINERVINA: Non-runner (NR). (Included in betting forecast).

    ◦ SERAFINA: A reserve. (Included in betting forecast).

    ◦ GIANH RIVER: A reserve. (Included in betting forecast).

6. 19:10 Naas – Naas Racecourse Handicap (1m2f, 3yo+, Yielding)

Important Note: The original source lists the 19:10 race as the “O’NEILL & co. APPRENTICE HANDICAP” over 1m. However, the provided ChatGPT response generates a preview for a “Naas Racecourse Handicap” over 1m2f at the same time slot. This response will cover the details provided by ChatGPT for the 1m2f race, acknowledging the discrepancy with the race card header.

Pace Angles: A moderate pace is expected, with a lack of confirmed front-runners. Horses with tactical speed or the ability to sit handy may be advantaged. Strong closers risk being compromised in a race where positioning could be decisive.

Draw Bias: There is no sustained draw bias over 1m2f at Naas. However, mid-to-low draws are preferable in slowly-run races due to early positioning on the bend.

Runner Comments:

    ◦ DAMIEN: Has a hugely progressive profile, winning a hot Leopardstown maiden (Adj 91+) before shaping well on his handicap debut when second to a filly rated 100. He looks still ahead of the handicapper. Handles yielding ground and is drawn in stall 3, suggesting he should be prominent throughout. (Overall Suitability: 8/10).

    ◦ SUADIAN: Finished second in a Killarney maiden before making all at the same track in a big-field handicap (Adj 93). He is lightly raced. Good tactical speed and staying power are key assets given this race’s shape. A slight drop in trip is not a concern. (Overall Suitability: 8/10).

    ◦ TIGER MY FRIEND: Has strong form in Curragh and Galway handicaps (Adj 88-91). He did not get the clearest of runs last time. Possesses a strong closing kick and handles all ground. Drawn in 5, he can slot into midfield. (Overall Suitability: 7/10).

    ◦ NO SAY EVER: Ran credibly off a higher mark in Britain. His closing sectionals suggest he may be a late threat if the pace is quick enough. This is his first run for a new yard and he has been gelded, indicating potential for revival. (Overall Suitability: 6/10).

    ◦ SUMMER SNOW: A winner over C&D in similar conditions and remains off a workable mark. Not entirely straightforward, but this race could suit her with luck. (Overall Suitability: 6/10).

    ◦ FREEDOM FALLS: This is his first handicap run for Joseph O’Brien after shaping acceptably in maidens. His breeding suggests he will improve with racing, making him an unexposed angle. (Overall Suitability: 6/10).

    ◦ Others: Several other runners are out of form or badly handicapped. (Overall Suitability: 5/10 or less).

Private Tissue Estimate:

    ◦ DAMIEN – 3/1

    ◦ SUADIAN – 4/1

    ◦ TIGER MY FRIEND – 6/1

    ◦ FREEDOM FALLS – 9/1

    ◦ SUMMER SNOW – 10/1

    ◦ NO SAY EVER – 10/1

    ◦ Others – 14/1+

ChatGPT Smart Plays:

    ◦ Win Selection: DAMIEN – A well-drawn improver with top form in the book.

    ◦ Each-Way Saver: NO SAY EVER – A potential revival candidate in his first run post-gelding.

7. 19:45 Naas – VEI Global (7f, 3yo+, Yielding)

Pace Angles: A very weak gallop is likely, making this a highly tactical race. Front-runners and those capable of traveling close to the pace are heavily advantaged. COMANCHE BRAVE is tactically versatile and likely to race handily, while WAHDAN, who typically races out the back, could be significantly compromised by this setup.

Draw Bias: There is no significant bias over 7f on yielding ground at Naas. However, inside draws tend to be marginally beneficial in small fields when pace is lacking.

Runner Comments:

    ◦ COMANCHE BRAVE: A solid performer at Group level, notably finishing third in the Jersey Stakes at Royal Ascot (G3) last time, having shaped best of those ridden patiently. His form clearly sets the standard in this race. The drop in class and his tactical edge (can sit handy) mark him out as a strong favourite. (Overall Suitability: 9/10).

    ◦ BRAVAIS: A Naas minor winner earlier this year, then finished second in a 7f contest, a form line that is working out well. He handles varying ground. While not a star, he is consistent and should be well placed in this small field. G. M. Lyons (trainer) has won this race three times in the past five years. (Overall Suitability: 7/10).

    ◦ HURRICANE IVOR: Formerly rated 105+, he is a proven C&D winner with pace. However, his form is regressive this year, and he is unlikely to recapture his best figures at 8 years old. Still, he could sneak a place if others underperform. (Overall Suitability: 6/10).

    ◦ WAHDAN: Looked a possible Group horse last season in France, but has been disappointing in Irish Group/listed events this spring and summer. He often misses the break, and today’s race shape is wholly against him. (Overall Suitability: 5/10).

    ◦ MIDNIGHT STRIKE: Looked promising last year but has regressed sharply this season. He was well held in France last time and has questions to answer regarding both fitness and competitiveness at this level. (Overall Suitability: 4/10).

    ◦ EXPANDED: Non-runner (NR).

Private Tissue Estimate:

    ◦ COMANCHE BRAVE – 5/4

    ◦ BRAVAIS – 3/1

    ◦ HURRICANE IVOR – 6/1

    ◦ WAHDAN – 8/1

    ◦ MIDNIGHT STRIKE – 10/1

ChatGPT Smart Plays:

    ◦ Win Selection: COMANCHE BRAVE – Possesses strong Group 3 form and the ideal race shape.

    ◦ Each-Way Saver: Not applicable due to a 5-runner field.

8. 20:20 Naas – Bert House Stud Handicap (7f, 3yo+, Yielding)

Pace Angles: A strong pace is forecast, with genuine pressure expected from ZABRISKIE POINT and ZEPHRON. While prominent racers are usually favored at 7f here, the strength of this pace may actually help mid-division stalkers like GENUINE ARTICLE and FERRYBANK.

Draw Bias: There is no notable draw bias at this trip on yielding ground. Positioning will matter more than stall number, although wide draws can be problematic in large fields if a horse breaks slowly.

Runner Comments:

    ◦ GENUINE ARTICLE: His recent run (6th of 20) was a solid reappearance and he should improve for it. His previous 7f and 10f form in large-field handicaps is strong. The strong pace and middle draw (4) suit him ideally. (Overall Suitability: 8/10).

    ◦ SECRET MAGICIAN: Has run well on three of his last four outings in big-field Curragh handicaps, finishing fourth in a 15-runner race last time. His final 2f effort was strong, and a return to Naas may help. Tongue tie and blinkers are retained. (Overall Suitability: 7/10).

    ◦ FERRYBANK: A three-time Dundalk winner who has returned to turf in better form lately. He hit the frame at Leopardstown in June and shaped well last time too. Conditions are ideal, the pace suits, and he can stalk behind the speed. (Overall Suitability: 7/10).

    ◦ DARK VIPER: His big-field handicap form is solid, including a win in March and a close third in May. He was not disgraced last time when fading late in a strong contest. He is genuine but not the easiest to place. (Overall Suitability: 6/10).

    ◦ ENGINES ON: A lightly raced 5yo who won a massive-field Curragh handicap last November and now returns off a 262-day break. That form was repeatedly franked, and any market support would be notable. (Overall Suitability: 6/10).

    ◦ FOUR BLONDES: Possesses ability but can fluff the start and was unlucky last time. Ran a massive race in June when narrowly beaten. Will need luck but is capable of placing with cover and rhythm. (Overall Suitability: 6/10).

    ◦ VERHOYEN: Bounced back when second recently. He is 10 years old now but is on a dangerous mark and still shows some zest. This trip and setup could suit one more good run. (Overall Suitability: 5/10).

    ◦ MARTINELLI / ZEPHRON / NAKASERO: These runners are considered exposed or regressive. (Overall Suitability: 4–5/10).

    ◦ ZABRISKIE POINT: Will be a pace pusher. (Overall Suitability: Not scored by ChatGPT directly).

Private Tissue Estimate:

    ◦ GENUINE ARTICLE – 4/1

    ◦ SECRET MAGICIAN – 5/1

    ◦ FERRYBANK – 11/2

    ◦ DARK VIPER – 13/2

    ◦ ENGINES ON – 8/1

    ◦ FOUR BLONDES – 8/1

    ◦ VERHOYEN – 10/1

    ◦ Others – 16/1+

ChatGPT Smart Plays:

    ◦ Win Selection: GENUINE ARTICLE – Strong form and an ideal race setup.

    ◦ Each-Way Saver: SECRET MAGICIAN – A regular in big-field handicaps who is staying well
