Forecasts

Eastmore (7/2), Due Course (5/1), Kings Halo (5/1), Bayou Belle (6/1), Gekkota (7/1), Say It So (8/1), Nicholas Street (10/1), Benjis Benefit (12/1), Duke Silver (16/1), Highland King (16/1), Avandra (25/1), She's On Line (50/1), Trenchtown Rock (50/1), Gendarme (50/1)

EASTMORE tooked a marked step forward when runner-up in a Down Royal handicap last time and, with few miles on the clock, he can find enough improvement to open his account here. Due Course and Bayou Belle are the chief dangers.
