Forecasts

Mcqueen (85/40), Bulleit (9/4), By Your Side (15/2), Tiare (10/1), Amjad (11/1), Bold And Loyal (12/1), Shorts On (12/1), Night Traveller (12/1), Bearing Bob (12/1), Sweet Summer (18/1), Asense (66/1)

MCQUEEN did well to get up late when scoring over C&D a couple of months ago and the form is proving solid, so he's worth a chance to land the hat-trick for all this appears to be a competitive event for the grade. Shorts On is another to consider following a successful debut for his current stable, while Amjad seems capable of defying his current mark if things drop right.
