Forecasts

Vincent Rocks (10/3), Approval (9/2), Janey Mackers (11/2), Shady Bay (7/1), Star Of Dubai (8/1), Just An Hour (11/1), Final Secret (11/1), Sweet Reward (12/1), Alcaraz (16/1), Gloryous (25/1), San Juanito (25/1), Zoffandia (28/1)

There is substance to the form of the novice events won by VINCENT ROCKS and, with the promise of better to come now moving up in trip for this handicap debut, he looks the way to go. Approval has failed to fire so far this season, but if the change of scenery/wind surgery have the desired effect he will be dangerous off this reduced mark. Star of Dubai is third on the list ahead of Alcaraz and Just An Hour.
