Forecasts

Crimson Sand (5/2), Great News (4/1), Cottam Lane (9/2), Nigel Nott (11/2), Yimou (9/1), Letmelivemylife (10/1), Toussarok (14/1), Trumble (16/1), Rock Boy Grey (16/1)

CRIMSON SAND has an excellent strike-rate on polytrack with 3 wins from 4 runs, including over C&D in August. He ran well here last month behind a progressive colt and should be able to add to his tremendous record on a synthetic surface tonight. Great News has been running well for most of this year and he'll be a danger. Letmelivemylife could return to form after a gelding operation.
