Forest Des Aigles (85/40), Shine Away (3/1), Miss Conway (4/1), Tikkandemickey (9/2), Munsaab (6/1)

Verdict

A race in which it is difficult to totally discount any of the runners, with perhaps the exception of a now vulnerable looking Miss Conway. Munsaab generally doesn't win by far and that keeps the handicapper at arms length and he deserves respect in this grade despite ideally being much better suited by a longer trip. Tikkandemicky can be tricky to predict, but when he's on song he's a force to be reckoned with, particularly at this track. Shine Away is on the up, but has taken a hike in the weights, so the tentative selection is FOREST DES AIGLES. Conditions promise to be ideal for this French recruit, and he returns to action off a competitive mark looking as if this longer trip is fully capable of bringing about further improvement over fences.
