Forecasts

Wolfburg (13/8), Barlovento (5/2), Walking On A Dream (3/1), King Roly (7/2), It's Hard To Know (7/2), Karafon (11/1), Find A Fortune (18/1), Great Pepper (20/1)

Verdict

Although BARLOVENTO has failed to fire in 2 outings since his Kempton win over Christmas he might be worth one more chance as that form has been franked by others on several occasions since. King Roly has been off for 6 months but has an excellent Perth record, including 2 wins over C&D earlier in the season, and is second choice ahead of Ben Pauling's It's Hard To Know.

  1. BARLOVENTO (IRE)
  2. KING ROLY
  3. IT'S HARD TO KNOW (IRE)
