Forecasts

Herbert Park (7/4), In A Blue Dust (3/1), Just Cause (9/2), Sidbury Hill (7/1), Bally River Boy (8/1), One More Tune (20/1), This Breac (33/1), Letskeepit Simple (33/1), Stars Royale (66/1)

Verdict

A few of these hold chances in a open looking race. HERBERT PARK sometimes looks like he's got his own ideas, as he did when idling at Exeter last time, but he's got plenty of talent with it and gets the vote. In A Blue Dust has come back from a layoff as good as ever and looks the main threat. Letskeepitsimple and One More Tune can fight out third.
  1. Herbert Park
  2. In A Blue Dust
  3. Letskeepit Simple
