Narrative: Competitive Class 4 handicap chase with several recent winners and front-of-handicap types in opposition. Sir Carnegie looks the most progressive — dug out a win at Perth from a 4lb lower mark, blinkers reapplied and a 7lb claimer keeps him effectively weighted, with the Bowen yard firing at 26% over the last fortnight. Wasdell Dundalk has the top RPR and a strong C&D profile but at 11yo and out of form, while Inis Oirr arrives in great heart after a C&D win and a second. Ira Hayes and Settle Down Jill both come off wins but face stiffer tests up in grade. Recommended: Sir Carnegie Recent C&D winner up only 5lb, blinkers retained, 7lb claim brings him in effectively, top TS in the race and yard in flying form (26% 14d, RTF 65). Alternative: Inis Oirr Back in form with a C&D win and a follow-up second; arrives fresh after 24 days and local yard knows how to win this race. ============================================================================== Generated 2026-06-17 03:27 UTC · HorseRacingValue.com · race rac_11958765
