Forecasts

Show Palace (11/4), Desert Ace (9/2), Noah Amor (11/2), Ballesteros (13/2), Captain Lars (8/1), Landing Night (10/1), Silvanus (14/1), Come On Dave (16/1), Blithe Spirit (16/1), Casterbridge (25/1), Impart (25/1), Bondi Beach Boy (50/1)

Verdict

Competitive stuff but, with testing conditions and a low draw in his favour, the consistent DESERT ACE has a great chance to regain the winning thread after a series of narrow defeats. Fellow mud-lover Show Palace also has plenty going for him and is unlikely to be far away whilst Ballesteros is capable of getting in the mix despite a less than ideal draw.
  1. Desert Ace
  2. Show Palace
  3. Ballesteros
