The consistent Possibly So will go around in Race 4 at Forbes this afternoon and looks well placed to strike.
Possibly So recorded a smart win in maiden company at Dubbo second-up this time, and he hasn’t been far away from the winner in a couple of tougher races since.
He steps out today in peak order and can continue his rise through the grades.
I thought that Zouologist looked a touch of overs in this race at around the $6 mark.
The Zoustar gelding returned with a credible performance to finish fourth, beaten only two lengths in a featured sprint at Muswellbrook last month, and he only just missed in BM85 company at Tamworth last time.
He’s a month between runs, but he boasts a class edge over many of these rivals and with even luck, he’ll take beating.
Ready To Humble is the one that I want to be with in this year’s Forbes Cup.
The Rubick gelding has been a good horse for the Nick Olive stable since making his debuting, and while he is yet to strike this time in, he has noticeably improved, and he has found form around some excellent gallopers.
He went close in the Narrandera Cup a fortnight ago and this looks a prime opportunity for him to go one better.
Extravagent Lad is another one that looks ready to peak on Forbes Cup Day.
The Xtravagant gelding finished down the order in a Highway race at Hawkesbury when resuming this time but has since filled the minors in his three subsequent starts, including a race at Randwick-Kensington.
He will have to overcome a wide draw and a heavy weight today, but his class will take him a long way towards winning.
