Forecasts

Smart Connection (2/1), Beau Geste (3/1), Mister Freeze (13/2), Day Trader (10/1), Kraka (10/1), Confrerie (11/1), Blairlogie (14/1), Full Moon Rising (14/1), Tara (22/1), Title Track (25/1), Gavin (28/1), Business Flight (100/1)

SMART CONNECTION has drawn the widest stall but he should be able to defy that given his recent form looks superior to his rivals. His promising young trainer is having a good season and she should be able to get a win out of him in an uncompetitive handicap. Beau Geste knows how to win which counts for plenty at this level and he looks the main danger. Tara could go well on handicap debut too.
