Forecasts

Eight Mile (6/4), Downtown Dubai (9/2), Doves Of Peace (6/1), Empire Of The Sun (6/1), Deep Spirit (9/1), Alicefromumbridge (9/1), Twilight Kiss (12/1), La Traviata (12/1), Vaudevillian (14/1)

EIGHT MILE had placed on his first 2 starts of the year before having a hopeless task from his position last time, so he is taken to get back on track and open his account upped in trip. A pair of handicap debutants could be the main dangers, with Empire of The Sun feared most ahead of Doves of Peace.
