Forecasts

Verdict

Very little to choose between what are likely to be the first five in the betting here. All have shown good form at the track, while none are consistent enough to merit a strong selection. Go Kart is holding his form nicely and has been found a good opportunity in this company while Oneoveryou has scored all his course wins over this trip. Strategic Force and Danz Gift are also very much in the mix and capable of scoring but the nod goes to STRATEGIC HEIGHTS, who won over 6f here last month and ought to relish this drop back in trip.
  1. Strategic Heights
