Forecasts

Smart Boy (1/2), Grams And Ounces (8/1), For Carmel (12/1), Let's Tango (12/1), Ronnie Lawson (14/1), Steel Express (14/1), Cosmic Diamond (16/1), Sydney De Baune (20/1), Cry Fury (20/1), Alberto's Dream (22/1), Moontripper (28/1), Beallandendall (33/1), Admiral Blake (33/1), Whiskey John (33/1), Ordensritter (40/1), Little Jimmy (40/1), Minella Voucher (50/1), Dragoon Guard (100/1)

Verdict

Plenty hold some sort of claim here but they'll all be playing for the places if SMART BOY can reproduce his Plumpton demolition job. He's well in under a penalty here and as long as that race didn't take too much out of him, he can follow up here. Sydney De Baune probably has more improvement in him that most here and on that alone, is worth a look in the market. Ronnie Lawson, Whiskey John and Last Tango may all do better today.
  1. Smart Boy
  2. Sydney De Baune
  3. Let's Tango
