Forecasts

Shajak (3/1), Banjaxed (5/1), Potters Party (6/1), Bleu D'enfer (6/1), Charlie Luciano (13/2), Valsorpresa (7/1), Hascoeur Clermont (8/1), Bocelli's Voice (10/1), Ringdufferin (10/1), Jasmin De Cotte (14/1), History Of Fashion (40/1)

SHAJAK stepped up a bit on his chasing debut form despite being unsuited by the drop back in trip when second at Gowran, which suggests he has more to offer still now going up in distance. Hascoeur Clermont is a potential threat if able to back up his latest run, with Charlie Luciano another to consider.
