Forecasts

Golden Move (10/3), Sweet Fantasy (4/1), Two Brothers (13/2), Rathgar (13/2), Harappan (7/1), Dark Jedi (10/1), French Invasion (10/1), Gibside (12/1), Lexington Knight (14/1)

Verdict

SWEET FANTASY is firmly on the up and the rain-softened conditions are in her favour, so she's fancied to go in again at the likely expense of fellow hat-trick seeker Harappan. Gibside is another one to consider back down trip.

  1. SWEET FANTASY
  2. HARAPPAN (USA)
  3. GIBSIDE
