Forecasts

Goldencard (15/8), True Romance (11/4), Iconic Belle (4/1), Wot A Shot (12/1), Prancing Oscar (12/1), Blooriedotcom (12/1), Prince Khurram (16/1), Gripper (16/1), Crushed (16/1), Duck Egg Blue (33/1)

Verdict

An entertaining and informative contest in store, with Iconic Belle respected for Phillip Kirby given the decent level of form she showed earlier in the year both here and at Perth. Prince Khurram also has claims after resuming his progress with a recent win, though he isn't open to as much improvement as the unexposed True Romance who is a very likeable sort. The one they all have to beat though is GOLDENCARD. The selection produced a career-best when winning at Kelso in impressive fashion, and he can follow-up that success and deal with a 7lb hike in the weights.
  1. Goldencard
