Forecasts

Malina Girl (5/2), Montel Glory (5/2), Dicebox (10/3), Healthisyourwealth (4/1), Bambeano (15/2), Fairy Tree (11/1), Barton Snow (12/1), Whiskey Lady (25/1), Soldier Solid (33/1), Saved By The River (125/1)

Experience can often count for plenty in these events so with that in mind Gavin Cromwell's MALINA GIRL is selected to get off the mark at the third time of asking having hit the frame in her first couple of outings. Shark Hanlon's Dicebox gets the vote for silver, while any market support for newcomer Healthisyourwealth could prove to be significant.
