Forecasts

Boston George (6/4), Pacino (11/2), Rocket Rod (6/1), My Ukulele (17/2), Al Khabeer (10/1), Made For All (14/1), San Rafael (14/1), Twin Appeal (18/1), Kingston Kurrajong (20/1), Beatbybeatbybeat (25/1), Mountain Rescue (50/1)

BOSTON GEORGE is leniently treated and back in form, and found only one too good when staying on strongly over C&D last time, so he makes most appeal in an open race. Pacino and Beatbybeatbybeat both endured a troubled passage last time and should get more competitive with a clear run.
