Verdict
Wee Forbes has found an easy opportunity to win again with Rossin Gold and Wally Wonder likely dangers. The selection has won two of his last three and therefore comes into the race in fine fettle. As a result though he has shot back up in the weights and therefore he will once again have to be at his very best. If able to reproduce his latest effort he will be difficult to oppose. Rossin Gold has been knocking on the door of late having finished second and third on his last two outings. The form looks rock solid as well so with that in mind any market moves should be noted. Wally Wonder comes from a yard in form so will have his supporters but his form itself looks a little moderate and for that reason is best watched. So for the winner we return to Wee Forbees.
