Forecasts

Never Mistabeat (3/1), Pineapple Express (7/2), Maricruz (4/1), Doyouthinkso (5/1), Danehill Quest (11/2), Malbas (13/2), Wave Walker (13/2), Reddiac (14/1), Trump Card (18/1), Alwisaam (20/1), The Bank Of Dad (25/1), No Trouble (40/1), Forgetthesurprise (40/1), Lady Tasmania (50/1), Heatstroke (66/1), Katie's Reign (66/1), Absolute One Right (100/1)

Plenty in with chances. PINEAPPLE EXPRESS shaped with encouragement on her recent first outing for new trainer Andrew Slattery and gets the nod with the slightly longer trip this afternoon promising to be in her favour. Danehill Quest, Wave Walker and Denis Hogan's Malbas head the many possible dangers.
