Forecasts

Berkshire Rocco (2/1), Breathalyze (2/1), Dirty Dancer (5/2), No Show (13/2), Melody King (14/1), Creativity (16/1)

BREATHALYZE represents a yard with a fine record here and will take some stopping if reproducing his visually imrpessive C&D win last time out. He looks up to conceding weight to his five rivals. Newcomer Melody King could be anything and is bred to be usefu so a positive market trend would support his case, and there could be more to come from Creativity who was very green on debut. The pricey Dirty Dancer has to improve to win, as to does No Show, but Berkshire Rocco is respected and could be a danger.
