Raceform Median Time: 2 mins 43.60 secs

Betting Forecast: 8-11 Gallimimus (GB), 11-4 Graham (GB), 6-1 Afloat (GB), 20-1 Quizlet (GB)

Race Summary: GALLIMIMUS lost his chance at the start last time but had looked highly progressive prior to that, so he makes most appeal on the assumption that he breaks a bit better this time. Graham is the main danger and Afloat is also a player.
