Forecasts

Anyonecanhaveitall (1/80), Getaway Queen (85/40), Clever Currency (5/1), Wisaka (13/2), Ragtime Red (10/1), Tucson (10/1), Alwisaam (11/1), Herodotus (11/1), Quiet Desire (12/1), Power Drive (16/1), Ralph Emerson (16/1), Anfaass (40/1), Cross Step (40/1), Knuckles Mcginty (50/1), Getgo (80/1)

A wide open low-grade handicap in which it may pay to take a chance on CLEVER CURRENCY. He's improved considerably over hurdles of late, getting off the mark in good style in a juvenile maiden at Limerick 4 weeks ago, and may well keep up the good work back on the level from his basement mark. Getaway Queen and Alwisaam head up the dangers, along with Ralph Emerson.
