Forecasts

Fame N Fortune (11/8), Protected Guest (4/1), Fraser Island (13/2), Mukha Magic (15/2), Dono Di Dio (10/1), C'Est No Mour (16/1), Nawar (16/1), Riverfront (18/1), Berrahri (33/1)

FAME N FORTUNE has thrived since joining George Baker so is taken to rack up his fifth win here and defy a 6 lb rise in the weights for his recent C&D victory. Fraser Island is much respected back on the level with blinkers fitted while Protected Guest isn't the most reliable of customers but is weighted to have a say too.
