Forecasts

Oskar High (7/2), Dedanann (9/2), Aliym (9/2), Auckland (5/1), China Princess (8/1), Sweet Street (9/1), Ilmig (12/1), Hello Pilgrim (12/1), Callaghy Rose (12/1), Nuttorridge (14/1), First Touch (16/1), Loudest Whisper (16/1), Fill The Tank (18/1), Darcys Hill (20/1), Room To Roam (25/1), Captain Mc (25/1), Cash Me Outside (28/1), Dorans River (28/1), Conquering Tara (33/1), War God (33/1), Fiveaftermidnight (80/1)

Tricky stuff as you'd expect but 4-y-o AUCKLAND leaves the impression he has more to offer in this sphere and looks the way to go with the very promising Jack Foley taking off 7 lb. Aliym, First Touch and the hat-trick seeking Oskar High are others to consider.
