Forecasts

Starting Monday (11/4), Fearless Girl (3/1), Vocito (8/1), Black Cat Bobby (17/2), Dundory (9/1), Magnetic North (11/1), Proud Princess (11/1), Bardo Contiguo (12/1), La Hacienda (12/1), Stellar Spirit (12/1), Eastern Racer (12/1), Thefaithfulindian (14/1), Royal Pippen (25/1), Jazzelle (40/1)

DUNDORY struck off a similar mark last autumn so may be worth siding with to build on a decent run at Gowran 14 days ago. Starting Monday has been in good form this spring and heads the dangers along with Jim Bolger's Vocito, who is unexposed around this trip. Stellar Spirit appeals as one who could take a step forward now handicapping.
