Forecasts

Summerghand (7/2), Dark Side Dream (7/2), Related (7/2), Merhoob (5/1), Upavon (8/1), Ninjago (12/1), Mont Kiara (14/1), Nautical Haven (14/1), Meshardal (16/1), Major Valentine (22/1)

Needless to say that this is a competitive sprint and joint top weight Related is one who can be given a good chance having run well back from a break last time. DARK SIDE DREAM deserves to win something like this and with De Sousa back on board, he looks the one to side with. Upavon is a quirky sort but he has twice won around here and is in good form at the moment although his mark is creeping upwards again and he’ll have to cope with that. Merhoob caught the eye last time out on his return from a long break and he’s of interest if he can repeat that run while Summerghand looks the type to keep on improving.
