Van Zant³⁸

16/1

Remains a maiden after 18 Flat runs. 8/1, respectable fifth of 12 in handicap at Newcastle (7.1f) 38 days ago, ridden too aggressively. Needs a couple of these to falter.

Forecasts

Intoxicata (9/4), She's The Danger (16/5), Turbo Command (13/2), Absolute Dream (15/2), Kodi Noir (8/1), Violeta (8/1), Champagne Supanova (10/1), Tom Tulliver (12/1), Van Zant (16/1), Amber Dew (18/1), Chookie Dunedin (20/1), Star Of St James (28/1)

INTOXICATA is holding her form admirably well and makes plenty of appeal having hit the crossbar off this mark at Wolverhampton on Sunday. Successful over 6f here three weeks ago, She's The Danger is feared most ahead of Champagne Supanova and Tom Tulliver.
