RSA Chase Analysis

Make sure your RSA Chase selection has made the top four on all of his/her completed starts as RSA winning form with unplaced efforts are very rare, one unplaced effort in forty completed starts from the last ten winners tells a convincing story.

Seven-years-old looks to be the age for an RSA winner with only the five-year-old Star De Mohaison and the eight-year-old Rule Supreme stopping a clean sweep for those aged seven.
