Beverley 4:50 pm

AI Verdict

This Beverley sprint is a three-way battle, with ROKU NANA the clearest chance. Her recent third and extended layoff suggest she's in peak nick for a furlong dash, backed by trainer Richard Varian's sharp eye and jockey Jack Mitchell's sprinting nous.

Zephyra is the filly to beat if she's found her best form, having finished second twice this season, though her longer break may have dulled her edge. Benedetti and Engedi, both from the Bethell stable, are the next best bets—neither has raced this term, but their pedigree and trainer's pedigree for sprinters give them a credible shot.

Divine Concerto and Wells Fargos Envoy are the best-priced outsiders, but their recent runs (8th twice and 8th) and lengthy absences make them longshots. Moudora and Bearing In Time lack the form to trouble the front trio.

A tight finish is likely, but Roku Nana holds the edge.
