3rd
Youlita
9/2
ZUZUKEL shaped well when a close second at Punchestown in November and gets a narrow vote ahead of Gordon Elliott's recent Leopardstown scorer Spinola Bay. Youlita could also play a prominent role if fully primed after 7 months off.

Race Hints

Specific Pace Hint: The pace doesn’t look like being overly strong here and Youlita should still be served best by being ridden prominently: The forecast decent pace still isn’t likely to sway the advantage towards those usually ridden further back such as is Zuzukel.
Individual Price Hint: Glenrush Bay traded at 10% or less of Betfair SP, 25% or less of Betfair SP and 50% or less of Betfair SP on 3 of its last 4 starts: Youneedabitofluck traded at 10% or less of Betfair SP and 50% or less of Betfair SP on 2 of its last 3 starts.
