Forecasts

Bridgetown (7/2), Sixcor (11/2), Deevious Beau (11/2), The Gloaming (11/2), Eeh Bah Gum (13/2), Lord Of The Glen (10/1), Mokaman (10/1), Koropick (14/1), Dan De Light (22/1), Stroxx (22/1), Earn Your Stripes (33/1), Grandads Best Girl (50/1), Summer Heights (80/1)

Verdict

BRIDGETOWN was often strong in the betting last season and it was the same again on his reappearance when he possibly needed the run more than expected. With that effort behind him though the 4-y-o could be set for a big performance on his second start since a wind op. He can see off the challenge of the pair of last-time-out winners Deevious Beau and Sixcor to open his own account.
