Forecasts

Alice O'Byrne (18/5), Punters Poet (4/1), Gone Racing (9/2), Stealthy Tom (11/2), Call The Fairies (7/1), Presenting Lad (7/1), Stansfield (8/1), Benefit Run (9/1), Yulong Voice (10/1), The Declaimer (12/1), Rich Belief (12/1), Comporta (20/1), Kasakh Noir (20/1), Whenurgoodurgood (25/1), Good Reception (25/1), Benefit North (33/1), Tonkinese (40/1)

Preference is for RICH BELIEF, who met interference when a good fifth on his latest start in this sphere and could have more to offer yet. Call The Fairies and Gone Racing should also go well.
