Forecasts

Zavikon (5/2), Mercers (9/2), Bombay Dream (9/2), Lightoller (11/2), Island Cloud (8/1), Miss Rosina (10/1), Seneca Chief (14/1), Verdi (14/1), Popsilca (25/1)

MERCERS has run well without winning the last twice and can register her first victory in handicap company by taking this concluding three-year-old sprint handicap. The selection finished fourth at Goodwood last time out in a 0-70 contest and this looks a weaker contest. Seneca Chief has been in good form on the AW and can claim second on his turf debut while Zavikon ran well over 6f last time out and can take third here.
