Forecasts
Top Juggler (13/8), Rosenpur (11/4), Supreme King (5/1), Ran Amok (6/1), True Promise (13/2), Brummell (7/1), Betsen (8/1), Aces Wild (17/2), Changeofmind (11/1), Paws For Thought (20/1)
RAN AMOK looks an improved performer this year and went very close here last month, so he's of considerable interest for a yard that does particularly well at this track. Top Juggler is well drawn and in the form to figure, while Aces Wild is respected despite this being a tougher race than the pair he's won recently.
