Forecasts

Uncle Henry (4/1), Temasek Star (9/2), California Lad (5/1), Every Chance (6/1), Gloves On (8/1), All's Quiet (10/1), Dandy Dude (14/1), Pillard (14/1), He's Our Man (16/1), Sound Money (16/1), Pivot Bridge (20/1), Coldstonesober (20/1), Im Waiting (25/1), Paddy The Celeb (25/1)

With Every Chance, Temasek Star and Gloves On possibly disputing the lead in the early stages of the contest, UNCLE HENRY can come off the even pace to pounce at the business end of the race on handicap debut. California Lad and Temasek Star can fill the places in the closer.
