Forecasts

Dakota Beat (7/4), Golden Nomad (9/4), Knot On Time (16/5), City Limits (5/1), Will You Win (13/2), Tommy Kiln (25/1), It Takes Time (40/1), It's All Gucci (50/1), Get Away On (50/1), Orchard Grove (66/1), Scarlet Rebel (100/1), Babysean (100/1)

Verdict

Golden Nomad just about sets the standard here and finds a weak affair but his supporters are requiring fairly deep pockets to keep with him and he's opposable. Will You Win is shaping well since returning and has place claims while Dakota Beat's second behind Politicise at Kilbeggan last month was a good effort. KNOT ON TIME appeared to relish this trip when second to Soldiers Hills (runs here at 14.55) last month. He couldn't get near the winner but he had 15L to spare on everything else and merits plenty respect with Sean O'Keeffe taking weight off here.
