Forecasts

Ey Up Its Mick (3/1), Hart Stopper (3/1), Mr Wagyu (16/5), Nubough (4/1), Kilconquhar (8/1), Iva Reflection (12/1), Star Citizen (33/1), Picks Pinta (125/1)

This can go to MR WAGYU, who ran well in a deeper contest last time and has dropped back to a handy mark. Nubough and Ey Up Its Mick look the likeliest dangers.
