Forecasts

Compas Scoobie (7/2), Tropics (9/2), Boom The Groom (9/2), Queen In Waiting (5/1), Cartographer (5/1), Bowson Fred (6/1), Just That Lord (8/1), Dynamo Walt (12/1), Zac Brown (25/1), Verne Castle (25/1), Orient Class (50/1)

Just That Lord will attempt to get across from stall 9 but may face opposition from popular veteran TROPICS who could make a good fist of it from stall 6 and bid to make all. Mick Easterby's Bowson Fred and third here in January Compas Scoobie can give the game sprinter the most to think about.
