oddschecker Verdict
The Paddy Twomey-trained JOGA BONITO can get off the mark at the third attempt. Sent off favourite when fourth on his introduction at Roscommon in May, the Territories colt again headed the market when runner-up at Fairyhouse later that month. Sure to be all the better for those experiences, he should be good enough to shed his maiden tag in this company. Golden Arizona will need to improve on his opening two efforts but shaped with promise on both and, if taking another step forward here, Jack Davison's colt would hold claims. Full Volume is a newcomer from a leading stable worth noting if the market vibes are positive.
Prediction: 1st Joga Bonito, 2nd Golden Arizona, 3rd Full Volume
