New Forest should find the front with Juneau Pride and Mega Force on his heels. SOUTH STAR (11) is an exciting horse on the rise, winning by 1.3L over this course and distance 21 days ago. Can sit up on the speed as he drops in the weights and can land the knockout blow again. STELLAR SWIFT (7) gets the inside barrier following a 0.3L victory as an odds-on favourite over 1400m. He looks like he's on the way up and he can repeat the dose. JUNEAU PRIDE (1) is hard to knock on recent form following a 0.8L victory as an odds-on pop at this track and trip. Up in weight, but is on the way up and is not to be discounted. ANOTHER WORLD (2) is ticking along well following a narrow win last time out and can be in the finish once again.
