Forecasts

Dashing Panther (5/4), Little Peter (13/8), Tradesman (10/3), Abraaj (9/2), Emaculate Soldier (11/2), Nibiru (10/1), Wickywickywheels (11/1), Unique Spirit (50/1)

The handicapper may have been lenient leaving LITTLE PETER's mark unchanged given he pulled a long way clear of the third at Newcastle and he's taken to deny Dashing Panther the hat-trick. Emaculate Soldier is an unexposed handicap newcomer who would also enter the reckoning if the betting vibes are positive on this first outing for Archie Watson.
