Forecasts

Double Kodiac (9/4), Motafaawit (4/1), Presidential (11/2), That Is The Spirit (7/1), Nordic Fire (8/1), Breanski (9/1), Arbalet (10/1), Finoah (12/1), Rum Runner (14/1), Remarkable (20/1), Celebrity Dancer (20/1)

Verdict

Arbalet has been highly tried this year but this would rate one of his best opportunities to get his head back in front off a decent mark. Motafaawit is very interesting coming back to his optimum distance and likewise is dropping in class. He's got plenty more to offer but preference is for DOUBLE KODIAC who, providing he's spot on following a break, is on a very lenient mark following his second to subsequent Group 2 winner and Group 1 third Fox Champion.
  1. Double Kodiac
  2. Motafaawit
  3. Arbalet
