Forecasts

Capton (5/1), Tomahawk Kid (11/2), Bunbury (7/1), Kestrel Dot Com (15/2), Ripoll (8/1), Wind In My Sails (9/1), Dubai's Secret (10/1), Golden Wedding (11/1), Exceeding Power (12/1), Buckland Beau (12/1), Directorship (14/1), Cricklewood Green (16/1), Kingston Kurrajong (20/1), Mullionheir (25/1)

Verdict

An ultra-competitive affair in which it's hard to rule anything in or out with total confidence. If there is a blot on the handicap it could be Capton but he's not ideally-boxed in stall 14 as he drops back in trip and DUBAI'S SECRET could prove a better value alternative from a falling mark, having ran much better than the bare results suggest in two runs this term. Wind In My Sails, Kestrel Dot Com and Golden Wedding also command respect.
  1. Dubai's Secret
  2. Wind In My Sails
  3. Golden Wedding
