Forecasts

City Limits (2/1), Cappuccino Man (11/4), Castle Canny (3/1), Jaunty Warrior (5/1), Premier D'troice (6/1), Balgowlah (9/1), Blaze A Trail (10/1), Three Is Company (16/1)

Verdict

CITY LIMITS was only just caught last time and this drop back in trip should help. In a moderate contest he has fairly solid claims. The joker in the pack is the bumper winner Jaunty Warrior who hasn't been seen for over 900 days. Now with a top yard, he could be anything, but it would be a fine effort to win after such an absence conceding weight all round. Blaze A Trail is a danger after an improved effort last time, while Castle Canny very nearly pulled off a 100/1 win recently. Another good effort can't be ruled out, nor can Balgowlah, who has twice run wel lin defeat here this term.
