Forecasts

Hobson Point (9/2), Expert Agent (5/1), Mogok Valley (5/1), Ignac Lamar (11/2), Erosion Risk (15/2), Molly Valentine (17/2), Acai (9/1), Galaxy Gazer (10/1), Corinthian Kid (12/1)

A case can be made for most of these but the vote goes to EROSION RISK who returns to handicap company on a handy-looking mark and can gain his breakthrough success. Galaxy Gazer rates the chief threat on the back of her Chelmsford success ahead of handicap debutant Mogok Valley.
