Forecasts

Cold Shine (13/8), Big Unit (7/2), Longsword (4/1), Gunboat (7/1), Sea Shanty (10/1), After Hours (12/1), Fair Proposal (12/1), Turbo Power (16/1), Onceinabluemoon (25/1)

Verdict

BIG UNIT was much improved in his most recent start compared to the run before and is the one to beat starting out for a leading yard. Cold Shine is the obvious danger, while Longsword can't be ruled out of it either.

  1. Big Unit7/2
  2. Cold Shine13/8
  3. Longsword4/1
