    Verdict

    BOMBSHELL is the one to beat in this. The latter finished third at Dundalk recently behind horses rated 85 and 91 and Joseph O’Brien has won on the all-weather with three of only four horses he’s sent over from Ireland so far this year. Sweet Talked is a likely improver and preferred to Rocketeer of the others with race experience while Ice Ice Lady is the first foal of a winning sprinter from a speedy family and makes more appeal than fellow newcomer Pop The Confetti.
