Forecasts

Eason (7/4), Doctor Dex (11/4), Westbury (7/2), Westerly Wind (11/2), Norwegian Woods (10/1), Hero's Creek (33/1), Gibb Hill (50/1), Phoenix Song (66/1), Lemonade Drinker (125/1)

EASON represents a top yard and the expensive sales purchase is taken to get off the market at the first time of asking in the concluding bumper. The selection has a top conditional in the saddle and he can see off his rivals with Doctor Dex, placed twice already capable of getting the better of the penalised Westbury in the battle for second.
