Forecasts

Six Strings (7/4), How Bizarre (9/2), Glengarry (5/1), Battle Of Waterloo (7/1), Defence Treaty (17/2), Be Kool (10/1), Donnelly's Rainbow (10/1), Howzer Black (18/1)

Verdict

Six Strings is an obvious starting point given his confident start for his new yard when winning a Class 5 last time out. He's due for a rise in the weights so has to be a threat to all under the penalty. However, this is a tougher race and the relevant form between old rivals such as: HOW BIZARRE, Donnelly's Rainbow, Howzer Black and Glengarry creates a deeper conundrum. The first named likes this course and just edges the vote on the grounds of consistency over this sort of trip. Donnelly's Rainbow is closely matched with the selection but needs to bounce back from a poor run last time, so Howzer Black might be the more potent threat on this occasion.
  1. How Bizarre
  2. Six Strings
  3. Howzer Black
