Forecasts

Tigris River (8/11), Automated (2/1), Marinero (9/4), Noble Inn (8/1), Lion In His Heart (10/1), Dalmarella Dancer (100/1)

Marinero looks the better of the two runners from his stable and is respected, while Noble Inn should be able to make his presence felt in receipt of eight from three of his rivals. However, TIGRIS RIVER is suited by the conditions of this race and comes into it on the back of victory on the Flat last time. Automated has plenty to do off top weight, but is another coming into this followng a Flat success and is the most likely danger to the selection.
