Forecasts

Torcello (3/1), Quamino (7/2), All Good Things (7/1), Azua Emery (7/1), Port Rashid (10/1), Schmidt (10/1), Banjo (12/1), Decision Time (12/1), Rough Night (12/1), Rideonastar (14/1), Aldawayfornothing (25/1), Leap Dearg (33/1)

Verdict

Azua Emery is likely to prove popular once again but she's not one for maximum faith just yet, and so preference is for the improving QUAMINO, who has really got the hang of things now and can continue his forward momentum again here. Schmidt will be interesting if he comes back off a short holiday in top form, and at a bigger price, Port Rashid is worth a second look too.
