Forecasts

Road Exile (4/9), Watchful Protector (10/3), Found A Diamond (17/2), Trendy Workforce (14/1), Spread Your Wings (20/1), Oh Janey (33/1), Amberjack (66/1), Neska Blue (80/1)

ROAD EXILE sets the standard based on his narrow second here a month ago and, if in the same form, he should be capable of going one better. Spread Your Wings is a player based on what she's achieved over hurdles and Watchful Protector is a notable newcomer for a shrewd outfit.
