3/1

Just one win from 32 starts but was going well when unseating at the second last at Sedgefield 3 weeks ago. Ought to be thereabouts if his jumping holds up this time.

Forecasts

Fresh New Dawn (3/1), Alexander The Grey (3/1), Fr Humphrey (9/2), Tokaramore (5/1), Ain't My Fault (6/1), Raecius Felix (7/1), Spinning Scooter (12/1), Set List (20/1), Havana Jack (33/1)

FRESH NEW DAWN was set to go close when hampered and unseating his rider 2 out at Perth 5 weeks ago and can make amends off a similar mark. Alexander The Grey and Ain't My Fault should be on the premises again.
