Forecasts

Coviglia (9/4), Berlios (7/2), Carlovian (4/1), Colour Contrast (4/1), Robben Rainbow (11/1), My Valentino (12/1), Lotara (14/1), Intiwin (16/1), Miss Bates (18/1), Lucky Violet (20/1), Scotch Myst (20/1), Quiet Moment (20/1), Symbolic Star (25/1), Jack Blane (50/1)

CARLOVIAN a winner over C&D last time out can follow up by taking the concluding race on the card. The selection has the trip and forecast underfoot conditions to suit and can get the better of top weight Coviglia who was a winner on the AW last time out. The consistent Colour Contrast, a beaten favourite on his last three starts can register another placed effort by finishing third.
