Forecasts

Enola Gay (5/2), Cap St Vincent (4/1), Darebin (5/1), Red Devil Star (6/1), Vicenzo Mio (8/1), Clondaw Westie (10/1), Swift Crusador (14/1), The Boom Is Back (16/1)

Verdict

The progressive pair are Clondaw Westie and Cap St Vincent, with the latter named having the distinct benefit of a recent run. However, he'd have questions to answer regarding conditions if the forecast rain pushes the ground towards an official description of soft, so could be worth opposing despite being officially ahead of the handicapper. Darebin has the handy track experience and Vincenzo Mio is no back-number, but preference is for the Venetia Williams-trained ENOLA GAY. Perhaps he has not quite reached his maximum potential on these shores, but his seasonal reappearance at Chepstow represents his strongest form over fences thus far.
  1. Enola Gay
  2. Vicenzo Mio
  3. Cap St Vincent
