Forecasts

Rwenearlytheredad (7/4), Let's Go Hugo (11/2), Grandad Bob (6/1), Bella Kopella (15/2), Midnight Flame (17/2), King Of The Jungle (10/1), Rodborough (18/1), Ohnojoe (20/1), Lupset Flossy Pop (22/1), Loveliest (22/1), Jazzagal (28/1), Senate Queen (40/1)

Verdict

RWENEARLYTHEREDAD is a thriving young sprinter who is likely to be well positioned from stall 3, so he gets the nod ahead of Bella Kopella, who was third to the selection here 11 days ago and is on much better terms now. Grandad Bob is another one to consider.

  1. Rwenearlytheredad7/4
  2. Bella Kopella15/2
  3. Grandad Bob6/1
