Forecasts

Artistic Melody (7/4), Ishebayorgrey (7/2), Koybig (9/2), Dance Alone (8/1), Captain Joy (9/1), Arbourfield (14/1), Flowerhill Nova (16/1), Nothing To Lose (20/1)

Verdict

Not easy to solve. Arbourfield might get an easy time of it on the front end but he may be vulnerable late and KOYBIG is taken to pick him off late. As long as he settles then he should run his race and can take this late in the day. Captain Joy would be a big threat if he can translate his all-weather form to the turf, and Artistic Melody is another that has to be considered a major threat.
  1. Koybig
