4/1

Six-time course winner. Career best when winning 12-runner handicap (4/1) at this C&D 21 days ago, sticking to task. 4 lb rise tolerable and he merits serious consideration.

11/1

Course winner. 3 wins from 15 runs this year, the latest here in November. Respectable fifth of 13 in handicap at this course (7.1f, 7/1) 14 days ago. Shouldn't be far away.

Form: 221015

Sea Ewe²⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 8-4| J: Cam Hardie| T: A C Whillans| OR: 45

200/1

Tenth of 14 in handicap at this course (7.1f, 250/1) 25 days ago. 6 lb 'wrong' at the weights and she's hard to make a case for.

Form: 950-700

Forecasts

Mabre (3/1), Great Colaci (4/1), Roundel (5/1), Tefnut (13/2), Vive La Difference (7/1), Lion Tower (9/1), Kentuckyconnection (11/1), Deolali (11/1), My Boy Lewis (33/1), Corndavon Lad (40/1), Sea Ewe (200/1), Detachment (200/1)

The consistent GREAT COLACI has already hit the target here 3 times under Oliver Stammers since September and they can combine successfully once again. Kentuckyconnection has done pretty well this year, too, and he gets the nod for forecast purposes ahead of Deolali and Lion Tower. Roundel has been given a helping hand by the assessor, but he continues to disappoint with his finishing effort.
