Forecasts

Dragons Voice (3/1), Secret Return (7/2), Christopher Wood (9/2), Glassy Waters (9/2), Awalii (8/1), Sir Plato (10/1), Optimum Time (11/1), Employer (12/1), Kenstone (14/1), Misty Birnam (16/1), Ginbar (16/1), Thechildren'strust (20/1), Kingston Kurrajong (25/1), Letsbe Avenue (33/1)

Verdict

OPTIMUM TIME clearly excels here given he's won all three starts and that can only bode well given he won impressively at Lingfield latest. Secret Return is obviously a threat and should be well suited by a return to 1m here having travelled really well last time. Dragons Voice has a great record and won well again last time out so must again enter considerations.
  1. Optimum Time
  2. Secret Return
