Forecasts

Passing Star (3/1), Vincentti (7/2), Pearl Acclaim (4/1), Major Crispies (9/2), Take A Note (6/1), The Magic Pencil (13/2), Pick Of Any (8/1), Mostashreqah (25/1)

The one with the best chance at the weights here would be Vincenti but he can be slowly away and look a little awkward and others are preferred despite being at a small disadvantage at the weights. Pearl Acclaim looks capable of winning for his current yard but it’s another class dropper in PASSING STAR that is the selection. He may have looked a little tentative in the closing stages last time but this is easier and his past form would give him a sound chance here. Major Crispies has the form to win this but his attitude is questionable while Take A Note surely needs further than this 6f.
