Forecasts

Boma Green (9/2), Mossbawn (5/1), Baronial Pride (5/1), Jewel Maker (6/1), First Response (17/2), Pholas (10/1), Velma (11/1), Curfewed (14/1), Traveller (16/1), Great Colaci (18/1), Dubai Acclaim (22/1), The Game Of Life (66/1)

A well-run race over 1m will suit the unexposed PHOLAS, and with a good-value claimer taking over, she's an appealing proposition. Great Colaci is a regular here and is of interest back down in class, for all stall 1 may present a problem, while Baronial Pride can remain competitive.
