Forecasts

Mulcahys Hill (11/4), Santini (4/1), Pacific De Baune (4/1), Tikkanbar (6/1), Black Op (8/1), Slate House (9/1), Aye Aye Charlie (16/1), De Rasher Counter (20/1), Fairmount (50/1)

A competitive affair with some classy sorts who have created taking impressions already. None more so than PACIFIC DE BAUNE who won in impressive fashion on Rules debut and the form of that race has been boosted subsequently. Mulcahys Hill wasn't beaten far in a Grade 1 last time out and should carry on progressing. Tikkanbar and Slate House are two runners to keep an eye on at likely bigger odds but both do have to concede weight to the rest of the field and that could prove telling in a tight contest.
