Forecasts

Super Julius (4/1), Smokey (5/1), Capla Spirit (6/1), Hey Ho Let's Go (7/1), Chitra (7/1), A Go Go (7/1), Shining (15/2), Big Time Maybe (9/1), Red Alert (16/1)

SUPER JULIUS has made a promising start for Chelsea Banham, finishing in the placings on all 3 recent outings. He's taken to gain some much-deserved reward for his consistency and score for the first time since 2019. There was just a short-head between Capla Spirit and Smokey over C&D 17 days ago and they look sure to be in the mix once again, along with the prolific A Go Go.
