Forecast Prices: Stoneacre Joe 5/4, Tide Runner 3/1, Star With Purpose 6/1, Sand Sea 4/1, Le Puy 16/1, Brash 25/1, Shatin Beauty 50/1, Thistle Nil 100/1, Alpha Platoon 50/1
oddschecker Verdict
The introduction of blinkers saw an improved performance from Pontefract third STAR WITH PURPOSE and this could prove a suitable opportunity for him to open his account. Although Stoneacre Joe would prove a live threat on the pick of his form, his latest fourth at Catterick leaves him with a bit to find. With that in mind, a bigger threat may emerge in the shape of Tide Runner, who offered something to work with on his opening third at Beverley.
Prediction: 1st Star With Purpose, 2nd Tide Runner, 3rd Stoneacre Joe
