Forecasts

Barton Key (5/2), Zambales (11/4), Gazelle D'or (3/1), Adrenaline Rush (4/1), Wish This (11/2), Unique Journey (8/1), Sea Fort (11/1), Clever And Classy (20/1), Drish Samphire (40/1)

ZAMBALES disappointed here last time but his mark is a decent one on the pick of his form so is worth another chance. Barton Key is next best ahead of Adrenaline Rush.
