Forecasts

Fifth Fleet (7/4), Kerandi (9/4), Harbanaker (5/1), Monopoly (7/1), Unanswered (10/1), Kushkame (14/1), Mighty Mirage (14/1), Dawn Over Owning (16/1), Differentiate (25/1), Darkest Hour (33/1), North Street (66/1), Joe's Joy (66/1), Philly's Hope (66/1), Romann (66/1)

Verdict

The Gavin Cromwell-trained HARBANAKER can get off the mark for connections at the fourth time of asking following a couple of solid efforts over 7f and C&D in January. The three-year-old can land the spoils at the expense of the Dermot Weld-trained Unanswered who could get a soft lead in the early stages of the contest. Kerandi looks an interesting prospect on debut while the three Joseph O'Brien runners, one of which, Fifth Fleet, is a colt by American Pharoah, should be considered.
