AI Verdict

JUNKYARD DOG leads the field, backed by recent consistency and mile-and-a-half class. Mwafaq and Qitaal follow closely, with the latter's experience and Shimmering Sands' progressive form posing credible threats. Amidst The Chaos remains a dark horse with improving form, while Finlaggan—despite her recent improvement—is overfancied. Rodoya and Mao Shang Wong offer outside chances, though their form lacks depth. Livonian remains a longshot with no recent progress. The race is wide open, but JUNKYARD DOG edges it on merit.
