Forecasts

So Smart (11/4), Mick's Spirit (3/1), Kim Wexler (4/1), Wings Of A Dove (5/1), Pepper Streak (12/1), Sir Rodneyredblood (12/1), The Defiant (16/1), Saaheq (28/1)

Verdict

A tightly-knit sprint in which SO SMART is the tentative choice to make all having found one too good on his last 4 outings. Last-time-out winners Wings of A Dove and Mick's Spirit both know their way around this sharp 5f, and they should also get competitive from low draws.

  1. So Smart11/4
  2. Wings Of A Dove5/1
  3. Mick's Spirit3/1
