STEFANO CHERCHI MEMORIAL PLATE
AI Selections & Analysis (15 runners)
This horse showed significant promise with a 3rd on debut over 1200m, suggesting the step up to 1400m will be beneficial. With Ciaron Maher training and a good barrier, this horse is the clear top pick in a weak maiden field.
A 2nd place finish two starts back over 1200m shows ability, and the rise to 1400m could suit. With Alysha Collett aboard from barrier 2, this horse has a strong chance to figure prominently.
Despite a long career without a win, this horse boasts a high place percentage and significant prizemoney for a maiden. If it can overcome the wide barrier, its consistent form suggests it's a strong each-way chance.
While winless, this runner has placed once and shown glimpses of form, including a 2nd over 1200m last preparation. The inside barrier and experience give it an each-way hope if it can recapture earlier form.
