Forecasts

Big Boy Bobby (10/3), The Thunderer (7/2), Genesius (9/2), Onesmoothoperator (5/1), Thunder Ahead (6/1), Basic Beauty (17/2), Basilicata (10/1), Central City (66/1)

BIG BOY BOBBY has been running consistently throughout the summer and he's unexposed at htis trip. He should be able to take another step forward on tapeta debut tonight. Thunder Ahead is lightly raced and has form over C&D so he is of some interest. Basilicata should find this easier than her Doncaster assignment.
