In depth

Verdict

Jazrawy is the form horse here and it seems foolish to desert him so we will put him forward to get the better of Ionian Spring and Augustus Livius. The selection has won his last two races in good style and with the promising apprentice Luke Morris taking a handy 7lbs off his back he can continue his winning sequence. Ionian Spring seems to really like it round here and he did win in this grade here last month. However, he has never won over a trip this far and for that reason he is passed over. Augustus Livius has yet to get his head in front in 18 attempts but he does have ability and it would be no surprise to see him grab some place money. Mi Odds seems to have lost his way and is readily opposed at present but Jazrawy is in cracking form and is taken to land the hat-trick.
