Forecasts

Big Love (11/8), Gonnino (5/2), The Best Way (4/1), Parisian Fashion (15/2), Interchangeable (11/1), Ozzy Cosmo (12/1), Struth (14/1), Alvesta (14/1), Ellistrin Bay (33/1), Highly Recommended (33/1), Gozo (50/1)

BIG LOVE has been shaping up well and can make his second start in handicap company a winning one. Gonnino and The Best Way are the notable dangers, though Struth merits a market check, his modest opening mark a far cry from the ability he showed on the Flat.
