Forecasts

Imbucato (11/8), Tarrzan (4/1), Hellovaqueen (7/1), Seaforth (8/1), Rock In Society (9/1), Don't Cry About It (9/1), Malaysian Boleh (14/1), The Special One (16/1)

IMBUCATO has won over C&D in the past and he can register a victory in the opening race on the card. The selection has a good jockey booked to ride and he can get the better of Tarrzan who has run well at this venue on his two most recent starts. Third place can go to Hellovaqueen who carries top weight stepping up in trip.
