Forecasts

Eskimo Pie (2/1), Castle Corner (4/1), Humble Tune (4/1), Flying Bull (5/1), Harrys Secret (13/2), Florida Keys (11/1), Blue Eyes (12/1), Sudden Break (28/1), Elusive Woman (28/1), Meet The Captain (40/1), Speechmaker (50/1), Broadway Babe (66/1), Bangor Night (100/1)

Verdict

BLUE EYES looks to be the safest option now up in trip. Harrys Secret could emerge as the main danger, while Humble Tune could also figure.

  1. BLUE EYES (SAF)
  2. HARRYS SECRET (SAF)
  3. HUMBLE TUNE (SAF)
