Forecasts

Global Esteem (4/1), Turanga Leela (9/2), Diamond Dougal (11/2), Power Over Me (13/2), Final Frontier (15/2), Spartan Fighter (17/2), Storm Over (9/1), Garth Rockett (12/1), Bellevarde (14/1), Mutabaahy (14/1), Prince of Rome (18/1)

TURANGA LEELA has a tremendous record at this venue and she's a consistent sprinter so she is taken to see off a competitive field. Prince of Rome has edged down the weights and has to be seriously considered. Storm Over disappointed last time but had won prior to that and is an each-way player.
