Forecasts

Shyron (4/6), Love Rat (5/2), Orobas (7/2), Sporty Yankee (33/1)

SHYRON has proven himself adept at this venue and having won off much higher marks in the past he can register a victory in this small field handicap. The selection looks capable of getting the better of Orobas who is stepping up in distance while third place can go to Love Rat who's best AW form has come on the fibresand.
