Forecasts

Too Much Too Soon (13/8), Posh Totty (3/1), Psychocandy (5/1), Elkstone (12/1), Bafana Blue (20/1), Not At All (20/1), Be Seeing You (20/1), Grow Nasa Grow (25/1), Summer Getaway (25/1), Jackofhearts (25/1), Loch Garman Aris (25/1), Come On Louis (33/1), Westerberry (33/1), Canadian Steel (33/1)

Verdict

A tricky one to solve. Canadian Steel needs a glance in the market for a yard that do well here, and there's still time for Not At All to show his form to date to be all wrong, but preference at this stage is for PSYCHOCANDY, who is progressing nicely and looks ready to strike after a good effort at Warwick last time. The tongue strap might help her finishing effort and she can score. Posh Totty might be the one to catch after some solid runs from the front. Too Much Too Soon comes from a yard in great form and shouldn't be dismissed.
  1. Psychocandy
  2. Posh Totty
  3. Too Much Too Soon
