Forecasts

Mount Vesuvius (4/1), Roparta Avenue (9/2), Ali Bin Nayef (6/1), Fraser Canyon (9/1), Beautiful People (9/1), How's My Friend (10/1), Ilewindelilah (11/1), Herdswick Holloa (14/1), Moonlight Flyer (14/1), Royale Champ (14/1), Monty Massini (20/1), Flugzeug (33/1)

Verdict

One or two that make their handicap debuts here stepping up in trip and they could be the ones of interest in this wide open handicap which kicks off the card. Royale Champ would be one that falls into that group along with Monty Massini and both of those are worth watching in the market for clues as to an improved performance. ROPARTA AVENUE hasn’t shown much of late but a reduced mark and a move to the Chris Gordon stable that does well here could prove to be the catalyst to resume winning ways. Mount Vesuvius will be popular but his stamina for this trip has yet to be proven and he may flatter to deceive again along with Fraser Canyon another who has yet to look as though he needs this stamina test.
  1. Roparta Avenue
  2. Monty Massini
  3. Royale Champ
