MEDIUM RISK

CAREER18:2-2

Jockey:Cian Macredmond

Trainer:Tim Davies

Tarakash has shown glimpses of ability with two career wins, but his overall place strike rate is a concern. The wide barrier draw is a disadvantage, but if he can overcome it, he might sneak into the placings with a strong run.

CAREER59:3-4

Jockey:Sarah Field

Trainer:Raharna McDonald

Fiorente Spritz is a very experienced mare but her low win and place percentages suggest she's often found wanting at the finish. While she has a good barrier, her overall form indicates she's more likely to fill a minor placing at best.
