Forecasts

Rock Etoile (7/2), Sassified (9/2), Black Cat Bobby (5/1), Got The Moves (10/1), San Aer (10/1), My Minervina (10/1), Kaaranah (12/1), Tall Story (12/1), Jo March (14/1), Cisco Disco (16/1), All Things Bright (18/1), Alpine Sierra (20/1), Business Speak (33/1), Stop On Red (33/1), Dreams Delivered (66/1)

ROCK ETOILE is going the right way and shaped notably well returning from a break when fourth to Black Cat Bobby here earlier in the week. He's sure to go forward from stall 1 and could take some pegging back if he doesn't face too much pressure up front. Jo March has been shaping better than the result lately, so he's worth a market check, while last-time-out winner Sassified boasts solid claims.
