Forecasts

Stellar Spirit (4/6), Cheval Blanc (10/3), No Browsin (4/1), Approbare (14/1), Persian Wolf (16/1), Bright Sovereign (16/1), Lady Liza (25/1), Wow (100/1), Eskimo Lil (125/1), Mambacita (200/1), Tastyee (250/1), Rockonmolly (300/1)

STELLAR SPIRIT upped his game when runner-up in a handicap at this track (7f) a fortnight ago and, while he's had plenty of attempts already, an effort of similar merit could be enough for him to get off the mark in this weak affair. Cheval Blanc posted a solid effort last time and could find improvement in cheekpieces, so he's regarded as the main threat ahead of Persian Wolf.
