Zarinca heads our figures in this competitive Class 5 on a rating of 79, a 6 lb margin over the chasing pack, and is the selection with medium confidence. Fizzy Cristal and Eazy On The Eye, both rated 73, look the biggest dangers on our figures, with Court Of Stars (72) also able to factor in a field of eleven. The remainder are rated further back on our book, leaving Zarinca clear on merit as the pick.
