Forecasts

John Locke (10/11), Ocean Wind (11/8), War Cross (6/1), Josephine (8/1), Captain Haddock (14/1), Rhinestone Blue (33/1), Gratot (40/1), Mystery Mac (40/1), Mabel Jane (50/1), Bogeyman (80/1), Clarion Lady (100/1), Albatross Reach (200/1)

JOHN LOCKE stepped up on debut when reeled in only by a potentially smart colt on the AW here 3 weeks ago and has a good chance of going one better. Useful bumper-winner Ocean Wind showed plenty on his first go on the Flat and the switch back to turf should be in his favour, so he rates the main threat ahead of Josephine, who looks progressive.
