Forecasts

Colonel Slade (10/3), Ellabella (9/2), Blankiedoodie (9/2), Indiana Grey (6/1), Sydney Blues (10/1), Transition (10/1), Tony The Gent (11/1), Forge Road (12/1), Malaysian (18/1), The Bog Bank (20/1), Brokers Tip (20/1), Miracles In May (20/1), Cliffs Of Malta (25/1), Sioux Grit (33/1), Bella Coaster (40/1), Chica Power (50/1), Beechwood Emily (66/1)

BLANKIDOODIE has been in good form here of late and might be up to notching another win from a handy draw. Tony The Gent did too much too soon over C&D last time and is likely still in heart so he's feared most ahead of the thriving Indiana Grey.
