Forecasts

Nickelsonthedime (8/13), Soviet Castle (4/1), Scorchin (7/1), Rocket Man Rodney (12/1), Mega Double (18/1), Gold Fields (20/1), Markmyword (25/1), Ridgeway Pearl (150/1)

Verdict

Mega Double is an interesting newcomer but this looks best left to NICKELSONTHEDIME and Soviet Castle. The latter was second in a slowly run newcomers contest and that may have counted against him given the amount of stamina in the pedigree. Nevertheless, the selection is preferred having clocked a good speed figure when chasing home a highly regarded winner but finishing clear of the remainder.
  1. Nickelsonthedime
  2. Soviet Castle
  3. Mega Double
