Forecasts

Sky Power (1/1), Alba Rose (4/1), Taravara (5/1), Caribou (6/1), Surprise Exhibit (10/1)

A trappy handicap in which SKY POWER gets the vote given he arrives in excellent order and can race off the same mark as when fourth at Kempton last time (form working out well). In-form Taravara is not dismissed in his bid for a maiden success, with Alba Rose also in the mix on her first go on polytrack.
