Forecasts

Vita Veritas (7/2), Arcland (7/2), Dream Point (4/1), Day Dreamin' (13/2), Drummer (8/1), Walkabout (17/2), Ally Cay (9/1), A Few Bob Short (11/1), King Christophe (12/1), Clueless Hill (14/1), Caronda (18/1), Indian Eye (22/1), Small Town Boy (28/1), Ben Alexander (28/1), Der Mc (33/1), Quiet Desire (33/1), Weardiditallgorong (33/1), Slainte And Thanks (50/1)

DAY DREAMIN' showed much-improved form stepped up to this trip when fourth over this C&D 5 weeks ago despite not being seen to best effect, and almost certainly has more to offer still. Arcland and Vita Veritas head the dangers.
