Forecasts

Phoenix Beach (2/1), Aces Wild (5/1), Let's Go Hugo (5/1), Blue Force (11/2), Maharajas Express (15/2), Betweenthesticks (14/1), Rogue De Vega (20/1), Symbol of Hope (22/1), Classy Clarets (25/1), Chiedozie (33/1), Stone Of Destiny (40/1)

PHOENIX BEACH is comfortable at this track and arrives in good order, so he's marginally preferred to Let's Go Hugo, who has shaped well on his last two outings. Aces Wild also comes into the reckoning.
