Forecasts

Investment Manager (1/1), Frankie Faulkner (5/2), Opening Bid (9/2), Astroman (8/1), Shot Tower (14/1)

Verdict

Although INVESTMENT MANAGER has had consistency issues in the past, Joe Tizzard's 7-y-o has won 3 of his last 6 starts and this represents a good opportunity to enhance that record further and bring up a quick-fire course hat-trick. He can get the better of Opening Bid, who rattled off a hat-trick this summer and can put a lesser effort behind him. Frankie Faulkner can fill out third spot.
