Forecasts

Sego Success (11/4), Set List (3/1), Cloudy Bob (10/3), Gallery Exhibition (8/1), Tinker Time (8/1), Caulfields Venture (11/1), Vikekhal (16/1)

SET LIST can claim this small field handicap chase on his first outing since finishing runner-up in a Listed handicap event at Wincanton in November. The selection is likely to appreciate underfoot conditions and has run well off this mark in the past. Cloudy Bob has been in good form of late under today's amateur pilot and can claim second off his revised mark while the top weight Sego Success is another to consider in what looks a weaker race than the one's he's been contesting so far this season.
