Forecasts

Saturn (5/2), Intellotto (3/1), Lot of Joy (6/1), Carlo Bianconi (6/1), Pinot Gris (17/2), Star Harbour (9/1), Zoffman (10/1), Safecracker (11/1), Ceallach (20/1), War Correspondent (33/1), Dame Rapide (33/1), Mt Leinster (150/1)

Verdict

SATURN can continue his progression and defy the handicapper again. The John Velazquez-ridden Carlo Bianconi definitely has a race in him off this sort of mark and is second choice ahead of stablemate Intellotto and Gavin Cromwell's Pinot Gris.

  1. SATURN (IRE)
  2. CARLO BIANCONI (FR)
  3. INTELLOTTO (IRE)
