Forecasts

Yes You (4/1), Manshood (4/1), John Kirkup (11/2), Big Les (9/1), Kenny The Captain (10/1), Strong Steps (12/1), Aleef (12/1), Dark Defender (14/1), Sharp Defence (14/1), Grise Lightning (14/1), Kupa River (25/1), Chookie Dunedin (40/1), Zapper Cass (40/1)

Verdict

This is devilishly competitive for the grade and you can make a case for many. Last years winner Manshood is now 4lbs lower than twelve months ago and has returned to form the last twice. Grise Lightning is completely unexposed having won a novice event over C&D last time and is respected. Slight preference is for SHARP DEFENCE who is on a really attractive mark now and drops in grade for connections that like to have winners here.
  1. Sharp Defence
  2. Grise Lightning
  3. Manshood
