Forecasts

Yaupon (6/4), Vekoma (3/1), C Z Rocket (9/2), Diamond Oops (11/2), Frank's Rockette (7/1), Firenze Fire (12/1), Whitmore (16/1), Echo Town (20/1), Collusion Illusion (20/1), Empire Of Gold (33/1), Hog Creek Hustle (40/1), Manny Wah (40/1), Jasper Prince (66/1), Lasting Legacy (66/1), Bon Raison (66/1)

Verdict

YAUPON has progressed with each outing to date, maintaining his 100% record when landing a Pimilco Grade 3 on his latest start in October. The manner of that success suggests there may well be even more to come and he can make a bold bid having his first crack at a Grade 1. C Z Rocket has been a real success story for Peter Miller and is respected, along with Diamond Oops and Frank's Rockette.

  1. YAUPON (USA)
  2. C Z ROCKET (USA)
  3. DIAMOND OOPS (USA)
