Forecasts

Dee Ex Bee (6/4), Cross Counter (7/4), Sun Maiden (7/2), Bombyx (8/1)

Verdict

DEE EX BEE may have disappointed on his last couple of starts but this represents a sizable drop in class from his Group 1 efforts of late, and it should see him return to the winners' enclosure if anywhere near his best. Sun Maiden and Cross Counter can battle it out for minor honours with the former preferred for the places with her yard in flying form and her unexposed profile.
  1. Dee Ex Bee
  2. Sun Maiden
  3. Cross Counter
