Forecasts

Jonah Jones (11/4), Benny And The Jets (3/1), Majaalis (10/3), Typhoon Ten (9/2), Total Commitment (5/1), Melodic Charm (15/2), Recon Mission (12/1), Frozen Ocean (14/1), The Cruising Lord (25/1), Count Otto (25/1), Lancelot Du Lac (40/1), Deputise (100/1)

This is a very competitive sprint handicap and preference is marginally for BENNY AND THE JETS who looked the winner for most of the straight here earlier in the month. He can go one better tonight. Jonah Jones is very consistent on turf and is respected on polytrack debut. Melodic Charm has to improve again but it couldn't be ruled out so makes some each-way appeal.
