Forecasts

King Cool (11/4), Roparta Avenue (11/4), Remember Forever (5/1), Flugzeug (7/1), King Charlie (8/1), Hill Fort (11/1), I Am Sam (12/1), Massinis Adventure (22/1), Charming Lad (33/1)

Verdict

Hill Fort ran okay on chase debut last time out and could easily build on that, while Roporta Avenue hold claims if bouncing back from a disappointing effort last time out. However, preference is for REMEMBER FOREVER, who won here back in April 2017 off a higher mark than this, and though not at that level since, the return to this track may help.
  1. Remember Forever
  2. Hill Fort
  3. Roparta Avenue
