Forecasts
Hathiq (5/2), Aleef (5/2), Kafu (10/3), Verhoyen (5/1), Stanhope (9/1), Optionality (10/1), Mid Winster (12/1), Evasive Power (25/1)
EVASIVE POWER is working his way down to a more suitable handicap mark and he may be able to bounce back now dropped in trip. Hathiq is going the right way but has a sizable rise in the weights to overcome so Aleef is preferred for the runner-up spot given his recent form.
