Forecasts

Broctune Red (15/8), Van Dijk (3/1), Dramatista (7/2), Mostallim (5/1), Absolute Dream (11/2), Vertice (11/2), Dorset Blue (28/1), Mudawwan (33/1), Woke (80/1), Willshewontshe (250/1), Outofthegloom (250/1)

DRAMATISTA had more in hand than the bare result implies when off the mark over this C&D last week, showing a good change of gear to reel in Broctune Red in a steadily-run affair having not been ideally placed, so she looks capable of defying a penalty. Fellow penalised-winner Van Dijk is feared most.
