Forecasts

Next Train's Gone (10/11), Taper Tantrum (7/2), Lost The Moon (7/2), Masterson (7/2), Teak (5/1), Zakatal (10/1)

This looks about the best and most interesting race on the card with at least a couple of progressive and improving types going head-to-head. Lost The Moon looked unlucky here on her last start but her previous form entitles her to a very healthy respect here. She may be unlucky to come up against NEXT TRAIN'S GONE who hails from a yard going well currently and who has blossomed over staying trips as suggested by his pedigree. Masterson and Zakatal are two others that make this competitive and the old boy Teak looks unlucky to run into more improvers as connections bid to exploit a favouarble mark.
