Forecasts

Li Kui (5/4), Fightwithme (9/4), Beryl The Petal (6/1), Flaunt It (7/1), Whenapoet (8/1)

Wide open far, with all five given a chance. LI KUI has been going well since upped in trip, including C&D second last month, and can get a deserved win here. The dangers may be headed by Beryl The Petal, a narrow second here last time, ahead of handicap debutant Fightwithme. The market will prove informative in relation and both Whenapoet and Flaunt It are respected.
