Forecasts

Braid Blue (1/5), Dobits Society (6/1), Juriste (8/1), Auntie Mary (11/1), Nearly There (16/1), Pinspot (20/1), Clem (40/1), Frankies Fire (66/1)

BRAID BLUE can defy a penalty and in the process maintain his unbeaten record by taking the concluding race on the card, the bumper. The selection is taken to get the better of the twice raced Nearly There who can finish runner-up ahead of newcomer Dobits Society.
