Forecasts

Black Storm (4/1), Pier Pressure (9/2), Letiza (5/1), Punk Poet (5/1), Chavajod (7/1), Proleek Prince (9/1), Perfect Judgement (12/1), Mooretown Lad (12/1), Rampage (12/1), Clarita (16/1), Current Option (20/1), No Knee Never (20/1), Seti (22/1), Rock Etoile (25/1), Free Solo (25/1), Cornahilt Soldier (25/1)

PUNK POET has slipped to a handy mark and left the strong impression that his turn is near when third over 7f here three weeks ago. The return to this trip will be no bad thing and he is preferred to Black Storm, who confirmed his debut promise when landing a maiden here and there should be better to come from this unexposed 3-y-o. Letiza took a step back in the right direction when third on debut for new yard at Cork and she is a live each-way player, along with Rampage.
