Forecasts

Dragon Sun (9/4), Knowing Glance (4/1), Lucky Lodge (8/1), Critical Thinking (8/1), In The Cove (9/1), Woodside Wonder (10/1), Nezar (11/1), Bobby Wheeler (12/1), Smokey Lane (28/1)

Verdict

The trio of Critical Thinking, Nezar and Lucky Lodge are respected, but are in against less exposed rivals. Woodside Wonder finished narrowly behind Nezar recently when giving that rival almost a stone. He is considerably better off at the weights so should reverse the form and run a big race. In a race full of known quantities though, ready preference is for DRAGON SUN who does need to prove his wellbeing after a long absence but could still be a fair way ahead of this mark. The form of his second when last seen has since been well advertised by the winner, and this progressive colt can make a winning reappearance.
  1. Dragon Sun
  2. Nezar
  3. Woodside Wonder
