Forecasts

Whiskey In The Jar (4/6), Just Don't Ask (2/1), Costante Via (12/1), Iron Horse (14/1), Lake Washington (33/1), Definite Winner (50/1), Loch Garman Aris (66/1)

Verdict

This looks a straight fight between previous winners WHISKEY IN THE JAR and Just Don't Ask, with marginal preference for the former who bids to complete a hat-trick and is clearly in good heart at present. Just Don't Ask did it well when scoring in a moderate heat at Ayr last time but is also going the right way and could be a tough nut to crack. Constante Via is open to a little improvemnt, while Iron Horse returns after a long absence having shown a hint of ability 12 months ago.
