Forecasts

Dc Cogent (8/13), Helaali (9/2), Amerjeet (6/1), Rogue Destiny (9/1), Star Zia (18/1), Captain Kinsella (25/1), Highland Bear (66/1), El Cobre Fuego (80/1), Sali Cinnamon (150/1)

DC COGENT showed plenty to work on when second in a C&D novice 4 weeks ago and this looks a good opportunity for him to go one better. Star Zia hails from a yard that does well with 2-y-o newcomers so she may emerge as the biggest threat ahead of the penalised Amerjeet.
