Forecasts

Total Commitment (11/4), Sun Power (9/2), Count Otto (5/1), Huraiz (5/1), Top Breeze (7/1), Recon Mission (15/2), Will To Win (14/1), Kondratiev Wave (20/1), Deputise (33/1), Stake Acclaim (100/1)

RECON MISSION capitalised on the handicapper's mercy when resuming winning ways here 16 days ago and, still nicely treated despite going up 5 lb, he is taken to repeat the dose. Total Commitment has been in good form of late and should be on the premises once more, as should Top Breeze, who is taken to reverse recent Wolverhampton placings with Sun Power.
