Forecasts

Enthused (5/2), Annexation (4/1), Dashinwhitesargent (5/1), Francesco Baracca (13/2), Fihrayn (8/1), Secret Beach (11/1), Lexington Knight (12/1), Ectocross (14/1), Shady Bay (16/1), Damascus Steel (28/1)

It could be worth chancing SECRET BEACH, who hasn't had many goes at this trip and his standout effort came over this distance at Epsom. Annexation and Shady Bay head the dangers.
