Forecasts

Rio Ronaldo (5/2), Oriental Relation (6/1), Bonjour Steve (6/1), The Big Lad (8/1), Just Us Two (8/1), Musical Comedy (8/1), Taajub (17/2), Zebstar (12/1), Secret Asset (14/1), Foxy Forever (16/1), Very Honest (16/1), Royal Mezyan (20/1)

Verdict

Hard to find any progressive performers here and most of these look to be in the grip of the handicapper or out of form. Just Us Two would have some sort of chance on some of his form and it’s a shame that he’s not better drawn a comment that could also apply to The Big Lad. Rio Ronaldo is the obvious pick in this grade but he’s always looked hard to win with and one that needs luck in-running. Despite a wide draw Oriental Relation may be able to blast from the front and overcome a wide draw but TAAJUB looks the safer option. He’s run well here before and appears in decent form at the moment and is fairly berthed in stall 5.
  1. Taajub
  2. Oriental Relation
  3. Just Us Two
