Forecasts

Big Eyed Girl (11/4), Captain Hindsight (3/1), Zinovi (4/1), Texas Red (7/1), Stormy Seas (8/1), Successful Secret (8/1), Rozara (12/1), Galla Vanting (12/1), Fly Isabella Fly (18/1)

Verdict

ZINOVI is just about the pick in this field and should make a bold show. Successful Secret seems the most likely to step into the breach if the selection fails to deliver, while Rozara shouldn't be far away.

  1. Zinovi4/1
  2. Successful Secret8/1
  3. Rozara12/1
