Forecasts

Ruler Of France (3/1), Korbous (9/2), Liberatio (11/2), Victorious Secret (7/1), Escondida (7/1), Khabaray (8/1), Il Piccolo Grande (10/1), Elusive Time (12/1), Coreczka (16/1), Kelley (50/1)

Verdict

Liberatio is open to further progress at this level after just six starts and could have a say having run well over the trip last time out while Khabaray is perhaps best forgiven a flop last time out and judged on previous C&D win, giving him claims. Victorious Secret needs her best form to land this while there is a chance that Ruler Of France will prove up to outrunning his odds and finding the frame. ESCONDIDA won a maiden over C&D last year and also ran well over this trip early in the season. Less promising over shorter since, this extra distance could be the key to the Bolger gelding getting back on track.
  1. Escondida
  2. Ruler Of France
  3. Liberatio
