Forecasts

Dubai Icon (3/1), Notre Belle Bete (10/3), Rebel Territory (5/1), Baldomero (6/1), Positive Impact (7/1), Spinaround (17/2), Bass Player (12/1), Imperial Sands (22/1), Animal Instinct (25/1)

BALDOMERO ran at least as well as ever when finding only an unexposed rival too strong at this C&D last time, taking his record here to a win and 2 runner-up efforts from only 3 starts. The 4-y-o is taken to see off the challenge of Rebel Territory who can get back on track after his Ascot run, while Positive Impact can give another good account.
