Forecasts

Abu Malek (6/4), Gannon Glory (5/2), Cotai West (10/3), Dawson Lane (9/1), Dorothee (12/1), Superstar Dj (20/1), Sheikh Maz Mahood (25/1)

ABU MALEK finished well to make a winning debut at this course and, despite not being seen for a year (has also left Richard Fahey), he gets the nod to maintain his unbeaten record at the likely expense of Gannon Glory, the other previous winner in the field. Cotai West is also a player.
