Forecasts

King Francis (5/4), Busby (9/4), Culture (5/1), Ilhabela Fact (9/1), Swallowdale (11/1), Settle Petal (25/1)

Verdict

BUSBY is always to be feared round here and he is weighted to garner a sixth victory at the track. Ilhabela Fact also boasts a good record over C&D and rates much the biggest threat, with the returning Swallowdale appealing as the pick of the remainder.

  1. Busby9/4
  2. Ilhabela Fact9/1
  3. Swallowdale11/1
