Forecasts

Coolagh Magic (15/8), Jaffathegaffa (7/2), Beepeecee (4/1), Black Medick (6/1), Lasting Beauty (10/1), Tara (12/1), Mister Freeze (20/1), Departmentalize (33/1), Deftera Lad (40/1), Sea Fern (66/1), Jeremiah Johnson (100/1), Sirbowtieman (100/1), Black Lace (200/1)

A very uncompetitive low-grade contest in which JAFFATHEGAFFA looks the safest option. He's been knocking on the door at this level and could get a first overdue success here. Tara shaped well on her qualifying run last time and should play a part. Any money for Coolagh Magic on stable debut would be noteworthy given his low handicap mark.
