Forecasts

Lexington Empire (7/2), Zaajer (7/2), Catoca (9/2), Extra Large (5/1), Poppy Love (9/1), Sicario (12/1), We Are The World (12/1), Verdigris (14/1), Pilot Wings (16/1), Teaser (40/1)

WE ARE THE WORLD has a good record on the AW and he can put a couple of disappointing turf efforts behind him to record a second C&D victory. Catoca has been in good form in recent starts having while third place can go to Verdigris who is stepping up in distance on handicap debut.
