Forecasts

Super Over (3/1), Gobi Star (4/1), Not Just Yet (5/1), Exquisite Acclaim (6/1), James Henry (13/2), Rockbury Lad (10/1), Mere Accountant (11/1), Half Nutz (11/1), Secret Magician (12/1), Little Keilee (12/1), Furnace Creek (20/1), Hezahunk (20/1), Angel Above (40/1), Arthur's Victory (50/1), Captured (50/1), Tamazu (66/1), Venetian (150/1)

GOBI STAR had stacks in hand when scoring over C&D last week and, despite a hefty rise back up the weights, Patrick Martin's 5-y-o is fancied to go in again at the expense of Super Over, who has a fine record at this venue and is another who arrives in form. Not Just Yet is reunited with Colin Keane and he can battle out minor honours with Little Keilee.
