Forecasts

Mountain Peak (5/2), Shamshon (11/4), War Whisper (3/1), George Dryden (4/1), Rockies Spirit (4/1), Rickyroadboy (9/2), Lucky Beggar (5/1), Diamond Lady (8/1), Secretinthepark (25/1)

MOUNTAIN PEAK was successful last time out and with further improvement likely he can complete his hat-trick in this 5f sprint. The selection looks likely to race behind the pace here and can see off War Whisper who is seeking a fourth consecutive victory. Shamshon ran well in first time cheekpieces last time out and he can finish third on this occasion.
