Forecasts

Palace Rock (11/4), Esquiline (3/1), War Correspondent (5/1), Yokkell (13/2), John Alexander (15/2), Satono Chevalier (9/1), Star Harbour (11/1), Impero (14/1), Firstman (14/1), Cape Bridgewater (40/1)

Verdict

JOHN ALEXANDER has dropped to an appealing mark and caught the eye from a poor position last time, so he's worth taking a chance on in an open race. Palace Rock has been knocking on the door and is unlikely to be far away, while Satono Chevailer is likely to give his running again.

  1. JOHN ALEXANDER (IRE)
