Forecasts

Veblen Good (11/8), Nad Alshiba Snow (6/4), Think Of A Name (4/1), Another Abbot (14/1), Borcano (25/1), Sharp Sand (66/1), Optimistic (66/1), Popov (100/1)

Verdict

VEBLEN GOOD is bred to be sharp and having showed up very nicely on debut at Sandown 3 weeks ago, he can improve beyond the standard set by the more-exposed filly Nad Alshiba Snow. Think of A Name can also make his presence felt.
