Minella Jury
9/2
This can go the way of LIBERTY COACH who has some fairly-useful winning Flat form to his name and shaped well when a never-nearer third at Wetherby last time. He can improve sufficiently to thwart Ben Pauling's progressive Legal Weapon, while Minella Jury, Minstrel Knight and Lasko Des Obeaux also need factoring into this intriguing maiden.

Race Hints

Specific Pace Hint: There is a chance of a pace burnout early, and Lasko Des Obeaux is one who could suffer as a result: Such a hotly-contested pace as is on the cards here may be to the benefit of Irandando Has who is likely to make a challenge late.
Individual Price Hint: Legal Weapon 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 5 starts.
