Forecasts

My Old Gold (9/4), Skipthescales (5/2), Allthegear No Idea (6/1), Total Assets (13/2), Letemgo (9/1), Rivabodiva (10/1), Aengus (12/1), Sun Cloud (20/1), Landecker (28/1), Native Optimist (40/1)

Verdict

Plenty of Perth regulars with 2015 winner Allthegear No Idea, and 2017 winner Sun Cloud topping and tailing the handicap. However, the solution probably lies elsewhere. Rivabodiva is up the weights and in grade for her recent Newcastle romp, whilst 2017 runner up Total Assets is the unfortunate victim of her own consistency. Therefore, recent Carlisle form seemingly provides the majority of clues. Skipthescales is on an upward curve and should figure for Phil Kirby, but MY OLD GOLD is likely to once more have the measure of Aengus, with Ryan Day's 3lb claim negating exactly 50% of her 6lb rise in the weights.
