Forecasts

Homesman (11/8), Buffalo Blues (11/4), Mauricio (4/1), Steel Prince (5/1), Modern Approach (10/1), Peace Maker (33/1), Almontaser (33/1), Safepac Lad (100/1)

Verdict

MAURICIO ran well on his debut when finishing runner-up at Dundalk last month and he can make a winning turf debut in this concluding maiden race. Homesman has run well in two starts this season but hasn't looked entirely straightforward and he can register another placing by taking second ahead of Buffalo Blues who ran well on his seasonal debut in a handicap at Dundalk earlier this month.
  1. Mauricio
  2. Homesman
  3. Buffalo Blues
