Forecasts

Bowler Hat (10/3), Katleen (7/2), Trogon (7/2), Mrs Benson (15/2), Faithful Promise (15/2), Bombshell Bay (8/1), Barnay (17/2), Bob's Girl (100/1)

Top weight MRS BENSON put a disappointing effort behind her when place here last time out and she can break her maiden in this three-year-old handicap. Bombshell Bay can claim second following a decent effort at Brighton last time out while handicap debutant Katleen is taken to finish third.
