Kevin Heffernan Stakes – 2022

Track: Soft Weather: Good

All eyes on Norwegian Bliss who attempts to remain undefeated and make it 8 wins straight. It trialled well recently and can prove hard to hold out in this field. Literary Magnate has come back a better horse and is racing in excellent fashion. This is within reach. Poland should land on the speed and an effort of its last run would see it right in the finish. The tempo should be solid in this and Streets Of Avalon will be booting up from the draw.

1. Streets Of Avalon (1)

Streets Of Avalon needs to notch up another win and it has been under quite a drought. That being said, it gets all the favours from barrier 1 and should be able to lead these up. It has won twice from 5 4th up attempts and can take this out but does need to get another win on the board.

2. Amish Boy (4)

Expecting improvement from Amish Boy getting back on top of the ground. Michael Dee has options from the barrier adn the stable are having an extremely good run at the moment.

3. Crosshaven (7)

I can’t have Crosshaven, it has simply been too hard to catch recently and isn’t profitable from a punting perspective. It can win, but has won once from its past 15 stars, can’t have it.

4. Ocean Beyond (3)

Can’t have.

5. Poland (8)

Poland deserves good respect in this field. It comes out of the right form race and likes good footing. It needs to settle a little more in the run but does look very dangerous in this field and is a good chance at odds.

6. Swords Drawn (6)

Can’t have.

7. Literary Magnate (5)

Literary Magnate has taken leaps and bounds this prep. It returned with an explosive win and put in a very good performance last run. This race is well within reach.

8. Norwegian Bliss (2)

Hard to knock this one. Just keeps winning and has a real determination to find the line. It has drawn to perfection in barrier 2, Shinn is one excellent form and it gets its chance to claim a big race. Well backed since early markets and this race is certainly within reach. Hard to beat.
