The Racing Trends suggest nominating a 4 or 5yo, one who has been a mile winner, one who has ran 4 times over that distance and from the top 3 in the betting. These 7 trends have a recurrence factor of 85-92 for 92.39% strike rate and our starting point. If you took the 8/15 about Palace Pier you must have value. He is hard to oppose, top-class racehorse and miles clear on ratings. Lockinge win took his record to 7-8 and Frankie Dettori riding. Banker material! THE RACING HORSE VERDICT: 1: PALACE PIER 8/15 WINNER  2: Order Of Australia 6/1 8th  3: Sir Busker 33/1 3rd
