Forecasts

Garrus (2/9), Mawakib (3/1), Under Curfew (4/1), My Boy Lewis (10/1), Highjacked (40/1), Potenza (80/1), Cormier (100/1), Andies Armies (100/1)

There was a lot to like about the way GARRUS won on his second start and with the performance being backed up by a fast time he looks very hard to beat. Should he fail to fire then Under Curfew looks a clear second pick off the back of two solid races and this extra test of stamina should suit. Mawakib is by far the most interesting debutante and should be noted in the betting.
