10/3

Forecasts

Corsican Caper (10/3), Sugarpiehoneybunch (10/3), Vampire Slayer (6/1), Kojin (15/2), The Dancing Poet (17/2), Stellarmasterpiece (12/1), Hiccups (14/1), Sociologist (14/1), Natchez Trace (16/1), Red Force One (16/1)

SUGARPIEHONEYBUNCH has winning C&D form from a higher mark than this and heavily backed to score here 3 weeks ago, she was left with a lot to do as the race unfolded. Compensation may well be forthcoming in a race in which most have lots to prove. The Dancing Poet could be the chief threat on his return to action.
