Forecasts

Real Estate (2/1), Etisalat (5/2), Nicklaus (3/1), Walk On Walter (9/2), Highlight Reel (6/1), Quick Breath (11/1), Lamya (16/1), Dream Mount (20/1), Busby (50/1)

REAL ESTATE finished a good second last time and he can go one better in this competitive 7f handicap. Handicap debutant Walk On Water is stepping up in trip but has been in good form in recent times and can finish runner-up on handicap debut while third can go to Nicklaus who was a winner on turf last time out and is making just his second AW appearance.
