Forecasts

Alphabet (7/2), Ostatnia (9/2), Gorane (9/2), Monsieur Joe (6/1), Go Kart (7/1), Yulong Baobei (10/1), Pious Alexander (12/1), Abstraction (16/1), Hit The Bid (20/1), Misty Birnam (20/1), Spirit Quartz (20/1)

Verdict

Misty Birnam is very interesting representing the Stack team. The trainer is enjoying an excellent debut season and this ex-South African performer should be noted on debut, though he has a layoff to overcome. Pious Alexander could be capable of improving on his April reappearance over C&D while Spirit Quartz is worth a second glance back down at this trip. Ostatnia, a former C&D winner, has been running well but this might to ALPHABET, who was a pleasing third at Group 3 level over 6f last time and will take beating if handling this trip. The consistent Go Kart has no worries over the trip and is worthy of a tilt at this Listed prize.
  1. Alphabet
  2. Go Kart
  3. Spirit Quartz
