Forecasts

Sideshow Bob (3/1), Emphatic (7/2), Tyrconnell (5/1), Gonna Dancealot (5/1), Dark Magic (6/1), Tony The Gent (10/1), Haayem (11/1), Harbanaker (20/1), Ossco (100/1), Blue Sky Thinker (100/1)

TONY THE GENT was a good second back in a handicap over this C&D last week and should make another bold bid off the same mark. Emphatic has won 3 of his 4 starts around here, including over C&D under this rider last week, and rates the main threat ahead of Dark Magic.
