Forecasts

Moabit (6/5), Mcgroarty (5/1), Sizing Granite (7/1), Early Du Lemo (7/1), Solstice Star (9/1), Raven's Tower (10/1), Curious Carlos (16/1)

Verdict

It may well be that Moabit isn’t allowed to gain an easy lead again in this with his rivals now being hopefully aware of his tactics. With Raven’s Tower and Solstice Star two other front-running types in the field he may not be afforded a soft lead again although that pair come here trying to find their form. Sizing Granite is very well handicapped if he were to come back to life but he did look a horse with his problems last time out over fences and with Curious Carlos looking held by the handicapper the handicap debutante EARLY DU LEMO is given the vote in the hope that his mark is a lenient one and there is some market support.
  1. Early Du Lemo
  2. Moabit
  3. Curious Carlos
