Forecasts

Swordsman (11/8), Feelin' Groovy (9/2), Joe The Crow (5/1), The Big Galloper (11/2), Balinaboola Jer (12/1), Killacolla (14/1), Dont Go Mad (16/1), Drifting Back (33/1), Mahler Supreme (66/1)

Trainer Charles Byrnes has a 53% win and place strike rate at this track in the last five years and his gelding The Big Galloper should give the likely warm order SWORDSMAN plenty to think about on debut for his powerful connections with Nina Carberry in the saddle.
