Forecasts

The Bosses Oscar (6/5), Port Stanley (11/4), Busselton (7/2), Mormon (8/1), Alfa Mix (8/1), Heroes Of Renown (14/1), Glentruan (33/1), Rebel Waltz (50/1), Ran Rite (50/1), Dommage Pour Toi (50/1), Alpine Cobra (66/1), Thehairyfella (150/1), Mosstown Miller (150/1)

THE BOSSES OSCAR should prove hard to beat if transferring his smart hurdles form over to fences at the first attempt. Busselton has a made a decent start to his chasing career and remains open to improvement, with Port Stanley next best.
