Forecasts

Pushkin Museum (2/1), Vallarta (3/1), Meshardal (7/2), Willbeme (4/1), Extrasolar (6/1), Meandmyshadow (6/1), Best Trip (12/1), Windforpower (16/1), Secret Missile (16/1)

Verdict

A competitive event in prospect and BEST TRIP can take advantage of a drop in grade and a likely strong gallop to claim a fourth course win. Vallarta and Meshardal are an interesting pair representing Ruth Carr, while Meandmyshadow and Windforpower are others who should be in the shake-up.
  1. Best Trip
  2. Meandmyshadow
  3. Windforpower
