Forecasts

Lawmaker (1/1), Upepo (4/1), Melek Alreeh (9/2), Sax Appeal (15/2), Daheer (16/1), Pour Me A Drink (20/1), Victory March (22/1)

Having displayed progressive form in his qualifying runs for William Jarvis, LAWMAKER found another jolt of improvement when making a successful handicap debut and this low-mileage 4-y-o should have plenty more to offer. The return to this trip will suit Daheer and he's respected, while it will be interesting to see what Rebecca Menzies can do with Victory March.
