Forecasts

Dark Side Thunder (11/4), Emperor's Son (3/1), El Bufalo (4/1), Havana Gila (9/2), Lightning Bear (9/2), Due Date (9/1), Ezra Cee (9/1), Mu Mu Land (11/1)

A competitive handicap. EMPEROR'S SON finished well when runner-up over 5f here last time and may be able to go one better returning to 6f off the same mark. El Bufalo's recent form is working out well and he should give another good account, while Due Date is thriving and merits respect in his bid for a 4-timer. Ezra Cee is well handicapped on his best form but needs to bounce back.
