Forecasts

Chef D'Oeuvre (9/4), Sausalito Sunrise (9/2), Go Conquer (5/1), Tenor Nivernais (6/1), Virak (6/1), O'Faolains Boy (8/1), Cloudy Too (12/1)

Verdict

VIRAK has been given some lenient treatment from the handicapper and has run well here before so he's taken to get the better of Tenor Nivernais who's consistency gives him a chance here. Any market support for O'Faolains Boy should be noted returning from a lengthy absence. 1. Virak 2. Tenor Nivernais 3. O'Faolains Boy
