Forecasts

Vaxholm (5/2), Little Emma Loulou (10/3), Bass Strait (11/2), Samurai Sneddz (6/1), Birkie Girl (11/1), Black Echo (12/1), Darisana (12/1), Cicely (12/1), All About Alice (16/1), Rita Rana (20/1)

VAXHOLM is still on the upgrade judged on his win at Lingfield under this rider and looks the one to beat if seeing out this longer trip. Bass Strait wasn't seen to best effect on her handicap bow at Lingfield so remains with some potential, while the step up in distance should suit the stoutly-bred Little Emma Loulou.
