Forecasts

Robindevidastar (10/3), Aqua Court (10/3), Fox Le Bel (5/1), My Wings (6/1), Well Polly (17/2), The Niffler (11/1), Harry Do Brasil (12/1), Cher Why Not (12/1), Island Glory (14/1), Blue Markie (16/1), Greige (18/1), Crack On Corrie (20/1), Think Positive (20/1), Baile Mhuirne (20/1), Eileens Boy (22/1), Command Chain (25/1), Gold Label (33/1), Trip To Milan (33/1), Ocodango Boy (40/1)

Verdict

This longer trip promises to suit AQUA COURT, who took a step firmly in the right direction when fourth on her handicap debut at Gowran last month. She has low mileage and may well have more to offer. Robindevidastar appeared to be travelling well when exiting 3 out at the same course last time and he is feared off the same mark. Fox Le Bel and Well Polly are others to consider.
