Forecasts

Owhatanight (2/1), Eastern Star (9/2), Krazy Paving (5/1), Ammayya (11/2), Jungle Boogaloo (9/1), Misu Pete (10/1), Gracie's Girl (12/1), Parker's Boy (14/1), Isabella Ruby (22/1), Hit The Beat (40/1)

KRAZY PAVING has been struggling for form of late but goes well over this C&D and could be sparked back into life by the refitting of headgear, so a chance is taken on him in a race where the majority have questions to answer. Eastern Star and Owhatanight are the in-form duo but both have wide draws to overcome.
