Maldonado³³

10/1

Course winner. 14/1, good second of 7 in handicap at this C&D 33 days ago, suited by emphasis on speed. This looks a bit more competitive but he shouldn't be discounted.

Form: 68-6642

Old Friend²²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: L Morris| T: E Walker| OR: 63

2/1

Fair maiden. 9/2, good second of 10 in handicap at this C&D 22 days ago. That form has a decent look to it and he's worth keeping on side.

Forecasts

Old Friend (2/1), International Law (9/2), Sandy Steve (13/2), Lady Elysia (9/1), Cafe Sydney (9/1), Ice Canyon (10/1), Maldonado (10/1), Tiger Zone (12/1), Blue Eagle (22/1), Lucky Draw (28/1), Momentsaftamidnite (33/1), Raven's Raft (50/1)

INTERNATIONAL LAW lurks on a good mark at the scene of his 3 wins in 2019 and could be the way to go if turned out again quickly after his respectable run here on Saturday. Ice Canyon and Sandy Steve are a couple of the other big players that are established, while Blue Eagle might have better days ahead of her.
