Forecasts

Midnight Train (9/4), Sicilian Vito (10/3), Salonica (9/2), Donna Italiana (6/1), Curley Rose (8/1), Caracristi (12/1), Agent Of Fortune (28/1), Pop Favorite (33/1), Hy Eales (66/1)

SICILIAN VITO had been running well prior to a rare poor effort at Yarmouth last time, so he's worth another chance to a gain a deserved first victory. Salonica and Donna Italiana head the opposition.
