Forecasts

Sea Poetry (2/1), Love Beach (11/4), Newtown Duke (4/1), Son Of Man (11/2), Beach Point (11/2)

None of the quintet can be ruled out, but SEA POETRY probably hasn't reached the ceiling of her ability just yet, can race off the same mark as when a very good recent fourth here and gives the impression this longer trip will suit so gets the nod. Love Beach heads the list of dangers.
