Forecasts

Wow William (5/2), Desert Pioneer (7/2), Fandabidozi (9/2), Largo Bay (13/2), Artisan Bleu (13/2), Sir Joseph Swan (12/1), Tara Iti (16/1), Patroon (18/1), Iconic Mover (25/1), Pop Ya Collar (40/1)

This is easier than the handicaps FANDABIDOZI has been running in this year so it wouldn't be a surprise were he able to dominate these under a good-value claimer. Wow William and Artisan Bleu look the main threats unless the unexposed Desert Pioneer takes a jump forward.
