Forecasts

Always A Reason (6/4), Visual Impact (5/1), My Lady Elektra (11/2), Raceview Road (7/1), Kahavari (17/2), Cowboy Cooper (10/1), Lady In The Park (11/1), Similar Story (22/1)

Verdict

ALWAYS A REASON has his stamina to prove up in trip but he was a good second in a better race than this here 12 days ago so must still rate a big player if over that effort. Visual Impact could be on the way back given how she shaped at Ayr, while My Lady Elektra has made a bright start in this sphere.
