Forecasts

Lord Fendale (5/2), Iolani (4/1), Sleep In First (4/1), Kisumu (11/2), Stags Leap (7/1), Louloumills (10/1), Smart Ruler (12/1), Minella Fiveo (12/1), Snowed In (12/1), Fiosrach (14/1), Crakehall Lad (40/1), Towerburn (50/1)

Verdict

Most of these have something to prove even if they are operating off marks that they ought to be able of cashing in on. Kisumu in particular has slipped to a dangerous looking mark if he can build on his outing at Perth last time although he’s never been the most straightforward. Minella Fiveo has never been seen in a grade this low and a return to form would make him of interest as it would Smart Ruler with Brian Hughes and eye-catching booking. Lord Fendale is the obvious one on form given his Stratford second has been franked but the vote goes to IOLANI. He’s very well handicapped and his recent Flat form suggests that he may be able to take this with all the headgear reapplied.
  1. Iolani
  2. Lord Fendale
  3. Kisumu
