Forecasts

Uncle Dick (3/1), Glasvegas (7/2), Blue Hero (11/2), Headshot (13/2), Courtside (7/1), My Boy Charles (8/1), Kratos (9/1), Thunder Lily (10/1), Luxy Lou (12/1), Waltzing Queen (12/1), Lilandra (25/1), Grandstand (33/1)

A chance is taken on UNCLE DICK who has been given a chance by the handicapper and could be right on his game back from 6 months off. Courtside could get involved after a small rise for a winning stable debut and Blue Hero is respected given he goes well at the track.
