Forecasts

Dubai Leader (13/8), Mountain Road (5/2), Wagga Wagga (4/1), Pons Aelius (9/2), Myriad (10/1), Sea Grey (11/1), Artistic Choice (11/1), Spit Spot (33/1)

DUBAI LEADER had a bit left in the locker when scoring at Kempton last week so gets the vote turned out under a 6 lb penalty. Both Wagga Wagga and Sea Grey look to have better days ahead of them too so appeal as the duo to chase home the selection in that order.
