Forecasts

Eric The Third (5/4), Between The Waters (4/1), Samson (11/2), Walk Waterford (15/2), Diplomatico (8/1), Indian Reel (12/1), Kovera (33/1), Millen Dollar Man (40/1)

Verdict

ERIC THE THIRD is hard to oppose as he is officially rated 6lb higher than today's mark and his capable rider is able to claim a useful 5lb allowance. His rivals carry plenty of black marks against them, but Samson has claims if striking a line through his last run and Between The Waters could be the one for the tricast.
