Forecasts

Garth Rockett (11/4), Inevitable Outcome (4/1), Cappananty Con (9/2), Desert Land (11/2), Save The Spirit (6/1), Bombastic (6/1), Real Estate (14/1), Lua De Mel (25/1)

Having been denied by a narrow margin at this course last time, the in-form INEVITABLE OUTCOME is fancied to resume winning ways back down in trip. Cappananty Con is also at the top of his game and should lay down a strong challenge, while Desert Land could arrive with a late thrust if the pace is strong enough.
