Forecasts

Stunt Game (11/10), Grey Force One (7/2), Mooncake (5/1), Paddy Brunty (13/2), Sugar Hill Babe (14/1), Eternal Life (22/1), Dickieburd (40/1)

STUNT GAME sets the standard on his brace of runner-up efforts and remains capable of better still, so he has to be considered the one to beat. Grey Force One should be competitive under a penalty, while Mooncake must be respected first time up for a yard that can ready one.
