Forecasts

Going Places (6/4), Soar Above (9/2), Starshiba (11/2), Equitation (13/2), Reaction Time (7/1), Poetic Force (9/1), Golden Dragon (16/1), Ice Age (25/1), Thechildren'strust (25/1)

EQUITATION has been running well at this venue this winter and can make the most of a falling mark. His yard are in fine form and he can gain a long overdue victory. Going Places would be dangerous to dismiss however and could improve again to go close on handicap debut. Soar Above loves it here and has to be considered too.
