Verdict
Rivas Rob Roy is only 1-14 but was second over course and distance latest. Cap D'antibes has run well in both previous starts at the track and Queen Sarabi was third over 7f here latest while Voodoo Ray was second over the same distance here in October, though hasn’t raced since. COMPERE is still a maiden but he’s not been disgraced on the all-weather recently and may be the form pick on his two runs on Turf in Ireland last year.
