Forecasts

Green Sky (11/4), Humble Spark (7/2), Nightsinwhitesatin (11/2), Optician (13/2), Nicator (9/1), Queen Roslyn (9/1), Golden West (10/1), High Fibre (11/1), Secret Beach (28/1), Pleasant Man (33/1)

Verdict

HUMBLE SPARK went very close here a couple of starts back and looks to have a good chance of ending his losing run back at this venue. Golden West is interesting down slightly in grade having shown a bit more recently, while Nightsinwhitesatin is capable of winning this if things drop right for her style.
