Forecasts

Brinjal (5/4), Party Season (5/2), Astadash (4/1), Eagle's Flight (12/1), Pin Your Hopes (16/1), Mente Hermosa (16/1), Verdon Gorge (20/1), Hotspur Harry (25/1), Cosmology (50/1), Lady Tasmania (80/1), Josephina (100/1), Clondaw Hollow (200/1), Daarem (200/1), On The Spot (300/1)

BRINJAL has shown enough to think a race of this nature is within reach and, having ran well over further here 2 weeks ago, she's fancied to make her presence felt. Similar comments apply to Astadash who is worth a second look, whilst Party Season may also step up now tackling polytrack for the first time.
