Forecasts

Yarrawonga (5/4), Flying Visit (10/3), Belmont Avenue (6/1), Alpha Cru (8/1), Malaysian (9/1), Lunar Power (14/1), Always Waitin (18/1), Pin Number (20/1), Let Me Pass (25/1), Benaud (25/1), Nothingbuttrouble (25/1), Summer Ambition (33/1), Kaaranah (80/1)

FLYING VISIT has gone close on each of his last 3 starts at around this trip, most recently when beaten under a length into third at Galway 8 days ago, and he can put his experience to good use and come out on top. Yarrawonga is the type to improve significantly judged on his debut effort and is feared most, ahead of Malaysian and Alpha Cru.
