Forecasts

Doubledisdoubledat (10/3), John Williams (4/1), Whitsundays (5/1), Moon Indigo (7/1), Dutch Canyon (9/1), Rosquero (9/1), Shine A Diamond (14/1), Jackofhearts (20/1), What A Dream (22/1), Arantes (33/1), Reverse The Charge (33/1), Moscow Menace (40/1)

Verdict

Not the most inspiring of contests and few have convincing profiles overall. Whitsundays may appreciate the return to a longer trip but overall his profile is patchy and it may well be that a return to shorter and more positive tactics will suit JOHN WILLIAMS. Rosquero comes into the equation on some of his form but his relatively weak finish is always a worry and the jumping of Doubledisdoubledat always casts doubts on his chance. Both Moon Indigo and Shine A Diamond would have a squeak on their old form but on what they have shown recently a place would be the best they could hope for.
  1. John Williams
  2. Rosquero
  3. Whitsundays
