Forecasts
Maharajas Express (11/4), Dickieburd (10/3), Level Up (11/2), Stash The Cash (11/2), Acrisius (13/2), Over Spiced (7/1), Son Of Wind (14/1), Mick's Spirit (16/1), The Defiant (25/1)
DICKIEBURD was lit up in first-time blinkers and ultimately did too much too soon when fourth behind re-opposing Maharajas Express when the pair met over C&D 2 weeks ago. However, Ivan Furtado's 5-y-o is lurking on a very handy mark if channelling his energy more efficiently and could be worth chancing to prove the point. The forecast strong pace will help Maharajas Express and he's respected despite another wide draw. Level Up and Acrisius complete the shortlist.
